Detailed Description

This class mimics the TXVECTOR which is to be passed to the PHY in order to define the parameters which are to be used for a transmission.

See IEEE 802.11-2007 15.2.6 "Transmit PLCP", and also 15.4.4.2 "PMD_SAP peer-to-peer service primitive parameters".

If this class is constructed with the constructor that takes no arguments, then the client must explicitly set the mode and transmit power level parameters before using them. Default member initializers are provided for the other parameters, to conform to a non-MIMO/long guard configuration, although these may also be explicitly set after object construction.

When used in a infrastructure context, WifiTxVector values should be drawn from WifiRemoteStationManager parameters since rate adaptation is responsible for picking the mode, number of streams, etc., but in the case in which there is no such manager (e.g. mesh), the client still needs to initialize at least the mode and transmit power level appropriately.

Note
the above reference is valid for the DSSS PHY only (clause 15). TXVECTOR is defined also for the other PHYs, however they don't include the TXPWRLVL explicitly in the TXVECTOR. This is somewhat strange, since all PHYs actually have a PMD_TXPWRLVL.request primitive. We decide to include the power level in WifiTxVector for all PHYs, since it serves better our purposes, and furthermore it seems close to the way real devices work (e.g., madwifi).
