Detailed Description

Basic MAC of mesh point Wi-Fi interface.

Its function is extendable through plugins mechanism.

Now only three output queues are used:

  • beacons (PIFS and no backoff),
  • background traffic,
  • management and priority traffic.

  • MpduResponseTimeout: An MPDU whose response was not received before the timeout, along with an identifier of the type of timeout (see WifiTxTimer::Reason) and the TXVECTOR used to transmit the MPDU. This trace source is fired when a CTS is missing after an RTS or a Normal Ack is missing after an MPDU or after a DL MU PPDU acknowledged in SU format.

  • PsduResponseTimeout: A PSDU whose response was not received before the timeout, along with an identifier of the type of timeout (see WifiTxTimer::Reason) and the TXVECTOR used to transmit the PSDU. This trace source is fired when a BlockAck is missing after an A-MPDU, a BlockAckReq (possibly in the context of the acknowledgment of a DL MU PPDU in SU format) or a TB PPDU (in the latter case the missing BlockAck is a Multi-STA BlockAck).
    Callback signature: ns3::WifiMac::PsduResponseTimeoutCallback
  • PsduMapResponseTimeout: A PSDU map for which not all the responses were received before the timeout, along with an identifier of the type of timeout (see WifiTxTimer::Reason), the set of MAC addresses of the stations that did not respond and the total number of stations that had to respond. This trace source is fired when not all the addressed stations responded to an MU-BAR Trigger frame (either sent as a SU frame or aggregated to PSDUs in the DL MU PPDU), a Basic Trigger Frame or a BSRP Trigger Frame.
