//
// This script is used to verify the behavior of InterferenceHelper.
//
// The scenario consists of two IEEE 802.11 hidden stations and an access point.
// The two stations have both a packet to transmit to the access point.
//
//
// (xA,0,0)     (0,0,0)      (xB,0,0)
//
//    *   ----->   *   <-----   *
//    |            |            |
//   STA A         AP          STA B
//
//
// The program can be configured at run-time by passing command-line arguments.
// It enables to configure the delay between the transmission from station A
// and the transmission from station B (--delay option). It is also possible to
// select the tx power level (--txPowerA and --txPowerB options), the packet size
// (--packetSizeA and --packetSizeB options) and the modulation (--txModeA and
// --txModeB options) used for the respective transmissions.
//
// By default, IEEE 802.11a with long preamble type is considered, but those
// parameters can be also picked among other IEEE 802.11 flavors and preamble
// types available in the simulator (--standard and --preamble options).
// Note that the program checks the consistency between the selected standard
// the selected preamble type.
//
// The output of the program displays InterfenceHelper and SpectrumWifiPhy trace
// logs associated to the chosen scenario.
