Detailed Description

This queue implements the timeout procedure described in (Section 9.19.2.6 "Retransmit procedures" paragraph 6; IEEE 802.11-2012).

When a packet is received by the MAC, to be sent to the PHY, it is queued in the internal queue after being tagged by the current time.

When a packet is dequeued, the queue checks its timestamp to verify whether or not it should be dropped. If dot11EDCATableMSDULifetime has elapsed, it is dropped. Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.

Config Paths

Here is the caller graph for this function:

Ptr< const Packet > ns3::WifiMacQueue::Dequeue ( WifiMacHeader * hdr )

Dequeue the packet in the front of the queue.

Parameters

hdr	the WifiMacHeader of the packet

Returns: the packet

Here is the call graph for this function:

Ptr< const Packet > ns3::WifiMacQueue::DequeueByTidAndAddress	(	WifiMacHeader *	hdr,
		uint8_t	tid,
		WifiMacHeader::AddressType	type,
		Mac48Address	addr
	)

Searchs and returns, if is present in this queue, first packet having address indicated by type equals to addr, and tid equals to tid.

This method removes the packet from this queue. Is typically used by ns3::EdcaTxopN in order to perform correct MSDU aggregation (A-MSDU).

Parameters

hdr	the header of the dequeued packet
tid	the given TID
type	the given address type
addr	the given destination

Returns: packet

Here is the call graph for this function:

Ptr< const Packet > ns3::WifiMacQueue::DequeueFirstAvailable	(	WifiMacHeader *	hdr,
		Time &	tStamp,
		const QosBlockedDestinations *	blockedPackets
	)

Returns first available packet for transmission.

A packet could be no available if it's a QoS packet with a tid and an address1 fields equal to tid and addr respectively that index a pending agreement in the BlockAckManager object. So that packet must not be transmitted until reception of an ADDBA response frame from station addressed by addr. This method removes the packet from queue.

Parameters

hdr	the header of the dequeued packet
tStamp
blockedPackets

Returns: packet
