void ns3::StaWifiMac::Receive ( Ptr< Packet packet,
const WifiMacHeader hdr 
)
privatevirtual

This method acts as the MacRxMiddle receive callback and is invoked to notify us that a frame has been received.

The implementation is intended to capture logic that is going to be common to all (or most) derived classes. Specifically, handling of Block Ack managment frames is dealt with here.

This method will need, however, to be overriden by derived classes so that they can perform their data handling before invoking the base version.

Parameters
packetthe packet that has been received.
hdra pointer to the MAC header of the received frame.

Reimplemented from ns3::RegularWifiMac.
