Attributes defined in parent class ns3::WifiRemoteStationManager

IsLowLatency: If true, we attempt to modelize a so-called low-latency device: a device where decisions about tx parameters can be made on a per-packet basis and feedback about the transmission of each packet is obtained before sending the next. Otherwise, we modelize a high-latency device, that is a device where we cannot update our decision about tx parameters after every packet transmission.
- Set with class: BooleanValue
- Underlying type: bool
- Flags: read
MaxSsrc: The maximum number of retransmission attempts for an RTS. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.

- Initial value: 2346
- Flags: construct write read
FragmentationThreshold: If the size of the data packet + LLC header + MAC header + FCS trailer is biggerthan this value, we fragment it such that the size of the fragments are equal or smaller than this value, as per IEEE Std. 802.11-2007, Section 9.4. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
- Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue

Note: For clarity, multiple blocks of if's and else's are used After a failing 7 times, DoReportFinalDataFailed will be called

for normal rate, we're not currently sampling random rates

use best throughput rate

< there's still a few retries left

use second best throughput rate

use best probability rate

use lowest base rate

for look-around rate, we're currently sampling random rates

current sampling rate is slower than the current best rate

use best throughput rate

use random rate

use max probability rate

use lowest base rate

current sampling rate is better than current best rate

find a rate to use from Minstrel Table

for determining when to try a sample rate

if we are below the target of look around rate percentage, look around note: do it randomly by flipping a coin instead sampling all at once until it reaches the look around rate

now go through the table and find an index rate

This if condition is used to make sure that we don't need to use the sample rate it is the same as our current rate

start sample count

set flag that we are currently sampling

bookeeping for resetting stuff

error check

set the rate that we're currently sampling

is this rate slower than the current best rate

using the best rate instead

continue using the best rate
