Member Function Documentation

Time ns3::MacLow::CalculateTransmissionTime	(	Ptr< const Packet >	packet,
		WifiMacHeader const *	hdr,
		MacLowTransmissionParameters const &	parameters
	)			const

Parameters:

	packet	to send (does not include the 802.11 MAC header and checksum)
	hdr	header associated to the packet to send.
	parameters	transmission parameters of packet.

This transmission time includes the time required for the next packet transmission if one was selected.

virtual void ns3::MacLow::DoDispose

(

void

)

[private, virtual]

This method is called by Object::Dispose or by the object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overriden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e., for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.

void ns3::MacLow::ReceiveError	(	Ptr< Packet >	packet,
		double	rxSnr
	)

Parameters:

	packet	packet received.
	rxSnr	snr of packet received.

This method is typically invoked by the lower PHY layer to notify the MAC layer that a packet was unsuccessfully received.

void ns3::MacLow::ReceiveOk	(	Ptr< Packet >	packet,
		double	rxSnr,
		WifiMode	txMode,
		WifiPreamble	preamble
	)

Parameters:

	packet	packet received
	rxSnr	snr of packet received
	txMode	transmission mode of packet received
	preamble	type of preamble used for the packet received

This method is typically invoked by the lower PHY layer to notify the MAC layer that a packet was successfully received.

void ns3::MacLow::RegisterNavListener

(

MacLowNavListener *

listener

)

Parameters:

listener

listen to NAV events for every incoming and outgoing packet.

void ns3::MacLow::SetRxCallback

(

Callback< void, Ptr< Packet >, const WifiMacHeader * >

callback

)

Parameters:

callback

the callback which receives every incoming packet.

This callback typically forwards incoming packets to an instance of ns3::MacRxMiddle.

void ns3::MacLow::StartTransmission	(	Ptr< const Packet >	packet,
		WifiMacHeader const *	hdr,
		MacLowTransmissionParameters	parameters,
		MacLowTransmissionListener *	listener
	)

Parameters:

	packet	packet to send
	hdr	802.11 header for packet to send
	parameters	the transmission parameters to use for this packet.
	listener	listen to transmission events.

Start the transmission of the input packet and notify the listener of transmission events.
