Detailed Description

helps to create WifiNetDevice objects

This class can help to create a large set of similar WifiNetDevice objects and to configure a large set of their attributes during creation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ns3::WifiHelper::WifiHelper

(

)

Create a Wifi helper in an empty state: all its parameters must be set before calling ns3::WifiHelper::Install

---

Member Function Documentation

static WifiHelper ns3::WifiHelper::Default

(

void

)

[static]

Returns:

a new WifiHelper in a default state

The default state is defined as being an Adhoc MAC layer with an ARF rate control algorithm and both objects using their default attribute values. By default, configure MAC and PHY for 802.11a.

Helper to enable all WifiNetDevice log components with one statement

NetDeviceContainer ns3::WifiHelper::Install	(	const WifiPhyHelper &	phy,
		const WifiMacHelper &	mac,
		std::string	nodeName
	)			const

Parameters:

	phy	the PHY helper to create PHY objects
	mac	the MAC helper to create MAC objects
	nodeName	the name of node on which a wifi device must be created

Returns:

a device container which contains all the devices created by this method.

NetDeviceContainer ns3::WifiHelper::Install	(	const WifiPhyHelper &	phy,
		const WifiMacHelper &	mac,
		Ptr< Node >	node
	)			const

Parameters:

	phy	the PHY helper to create PHY objects
	mac	the MAC helper to create MAC objects
	node	the node on which a wifi device must be created

Returns:

a device container which contains all the devices created by this method.

NetDeviceContainer ns3::WifiHelper::Install	(	const WifiPhyHelper &	phy,
		const WifiMacHelper &	mac,
		NodeContainer	c
	)			const

Parameters:

	phy	the PHY helper to create PHY objects
	mac	the MAC helper to create MAC objects
	c	the set of nodes on which a wifi device must be created

Returns:

a device container which contains all the devices created by this method.

void ns3::WifiHelper::SetRemoteStationManager	(	std::string	type,
		std::string	n0 = "",
		const AttributeValue &	v0 = EmptyAttributeValue(),
		std::string	n1 = "",
		const AttributeValue &	v1 = EmptyAttributeValue(),
		std::string	n2 = "",
		const AttributeValue &	v2 = EmptyAttributeValue(),
		std::string	n3 = "",
		const AttributeValue &	v3 = EmptyAttributeValue(),
		std::string	n4 = "",
		const AttributeValue &	v4 = EmptyAttributeValue(),
		std::string	n5 = "",
		const AttributeValue &	v5 = EmptyAttributeValue(),
		std::string	n6 = "",
		const AttributeValue &	v6 = EmptyAttributeValue(),
		std::string	n7 = "",
		const AttributeValue &	v7 = EmptyAttributeValue()
	)

Parameters:

	type	the type of ns3::WifiRemoteStationManager to create.
	n0	the name of the attribute to set
	v0	the value of the attribute to set
	n1	the name of the attribute to set
	v1	the value of the attribute to set
	n2	the name of the attribute to set
	v2	the value of the attribute to set
	n3	the name of the attribute to set
	v3	the value of the attribute to set
	n4	the name of the attribute to set
	v4	the value of the attribute to set
	n5	the name of the attribute to set
	v5	the value of the attribute to set
	n6	the name of the attribute to set
	v6	the value of the attribute to set
	n7	the name of the attribute to set
	v7	the value of the attribute to set

All the attributes specified in this method should exist in the requested station manager.
