Detailed Description

ARF Rate control algorithm.


This class implements the so-called ARF algorithm which was initially described in WaveLAN-II: A High-performance wireless LAN for the unlicensed band, by A. Kamerman and L. Monteban. in Bell Lab Technical Journal, pages 118-133, Summer 1997.

This implementation differs from the initial description in that it uses a packet-based timer rather than a time-based timer as described in XXX (I cannot find back the original paper which described how the time-based timer could be easily replaced with a packet-based timer.)

This RAA does not support HT, VHT nor HE modes and will error exit if the user tries to configure this RAA with a Wi-Fi MAC that has VhtSupported, HtSupported or HeSupported set.

Config Paths

ns3::ArfWifiManager is accessible through the following paths with Config::Set and Config::Connect:

  • "/NodeList/[i]/DeviceList/[i]/$ns3::WifiNetDevice/RemoteStationManager/$ns3::ArfWifiManager"

Attributes

  • TimerThreshold: The 'timer' threshold in the ARF algorithm.
    • Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue
    • Underlying type: uint32_t 0:4294967295
    • Initial value: 15
    • Flags: construct write read
  • SuccessThreshold: The minimum number of successful transmissions to try a new rate.
    • Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue
    • Underlying type: uint32_t 0:4294967295
    • Initial value: 10
    • Flags: construct write read

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 any packet with size <= RtsCtsThreshold. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
    • Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue
    • Underlying type: uint32_t 0:4294967295
    • Initial value: 7
    • Flags: construct write
  • MaxSlrc: The maximum number of retransmission attempts for any packet with size > RtsCtsThreshold. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
    • Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue
    • Underlying type: uint32_t 0:4294967295
    • Initial value: 4
    • Flags: construct write
  • RtsCtsThreshold: If the size of the PSDU is bigger than this value, we use an RTS/CTS handshake before sending the data frame.This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
    • Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue
    • Underlying type: uint32_t 0:4294967295
    • Initial value: 65535
    • Flags: construct write
  • FragmentationThreshold: If the size of the PSDU is bigger than this value, we fragment it such that the size of the fragments are equal or smaller. This value does not apply when it is carried in an A-MPDU. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
    • Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue
    • Underlying type: uint32_t 0:4294967295
    • Initial value: 65535
    • Flags: construct write read
  • NonUnicastMode: Wifi mode used for non-unicast transmissions.
    • Set with class: WifiModeValue
    • Underlying type: WifiMode
    • Initial value: Invalid-WifiMode
    • Flags: construct write read
  • DefaultTxPowerLevel: Default power level to be used for transmissions. This is the power level that is used by all those WifiManagers that do not implement TX power control.
    • Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue
    • Underlying type: uint8_t 0:255
    • Initial value: 0
    • Flags: construct write read

◆ DoReportDataFailed()

void ns3::ArfWifiManager::DoReportDataFailed ( WifiRemoteStation st)
privatevirtual

It is important to realize that "recovery" mode starts after failure of the first transmission after a rate increase and ends at the first successful transmission.

Specifically, recovery mode transcends retransmissions boundaries. Fundamentally, ARF handles each data transmission independently, whether it is the initial transmission of a packet or the retransmission of a packet. The fundamental reason for this is that there is a backoff between each data transmission, be it an initial transmission or a retransmission.

Parameters
stthe station that we failed to send DATA

◆ DoReportDataOk()

void ns3::ArfWifiManager::DoReportDataOk ( WifiRemoteStation station,
double  ackSnr,
WifiMode  ackMode,
double  dataSnr

privatevirtual

This method is a pure virtual method that must be implemented by the sub-class.

This allows different types of WifiRemoteStationManager to respond differently,

Parameters
stationthe station that we successfully sent RTS
ackSnrthe SNR of the ACK we received
ackModethe WifiMode the receiver used to send the ACK
dataSnrthe SNR of the DATA we sent
