// This script configures three nodes on an 802.11b physical layer, with
// 802.11b NICs in adhoc mode.  There is a transmitter, receiver, and
// interferer.  The transmitter sends one packet to the receiver and
// the receiver receives it with a certain configurable RSS (by default,
// -80 dBm).  The interferer does not do carrier sense and also sends
// the packet to interfere with the primary packet.  The channel model
// is clear channel.
//
// Therefore, at the receiver, the reception looks like this:
//
//     ------------------time---------------->
//     t0
//
//     |------------------------------------|
//     |                                    |
//     | primary received frame (time t0)   |
//     |                                    |
//     |------------------------------------|
//
//
//         t1
//         |-----------------------------------|
//         |                                   |
//         |  interfering frame (time t1)      |
//         |                                   |
//         |-----------------------------------|
//
// The orientation is:
//     n2  ---------> n0 <---------- n1
//  interferer      receiver       transmitter
//
// The configurable parameters are:
//   - Prss (primary rss) (-80 dBm default)
//   - Irss (interfering rss) (-95 dBm default)
//   - delta (t1-t0, may be negative, default 0ns)
//   - PpacketSize (primary packet size) (bytes, default 1000)
//   - IpacketSize (interferer packet size) (bytes, default 1000)
//
// For instance, for this configuration, the interfering frame arrives
// at -90 dBm with a time offset of 3.2 microseconds:
//
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-interference --Irss=-90 --delta=3.2us"
//
// Note that all ns-3 attributes (not just the ones exposed in the below
// script) can be changed at command line; see the documentation.
//
// This script can also be helpful to put the Wifi layer into verbose
// logging mode; this command will turn on all wifi logging:
//
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-interference --verbose=1"
//
// When you are done, you will notice a pcap trace file in your directory.
// If you have tcpdump installed, you can try this:
//
// tcpdump -r wifi-simple-interference-0-0.pcap -nn -tt
// reading from file wifi-simple-interference-0-0.pcap, link-type IEEE802_11_RADIO (802.11 plus
// radiotap header) 10.008754 13308699848833236992us tsft fragmented 0.0 Mb/s 0 MHz 16dBm signal
// 2dBm noise IP 10.0.0.2.49153 > 255.255.255.255.80: UDP, length 1000
//
// With a zero delta time offset, only the first packet will be decoded; the second packet
// transmission must be delayed past the end of the first packet to receive it..
//
// Next, try this command and look at the tcpdump-- you should see two packets
// that are no longer interfering:
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-interference --delta=9000us"
