Detailed Description
The backoff class is used for calculating backoff times when many net devices can write to the same channel.
Member Function Documentation
| Time ns3::Backoff::GetBackoffTime | ( | ) |
- Returns:
- The amount of time that the net device should wait before trying to retransmit the packet
| void ns3::Backoff::IncrNumRetries | ( | void | ) |
Increments the number of retries by 1.
| bool ns3::Backoff::MaxRetriesReached | ( | void | ) |
- Returns:
- True if the maximum number of retries has been reached
| void ns3::Backoff::ResetBackoffTime | ( | void | ) |
Indicates to the backoff object that the last packet was successfully transmitted and that the number of retries should be reset to 0.
Member Data Documentation
| uint32_t ns3::Backoff::m_ceiling |
Caps the exponential function when the number of retries reaches m_ceiling.
| uint32_t ns3::Backoff::m_maxRetries |
Maximum number of transmission retries before the packet is dropped.
| uint32_t ns3::Backoff::m_maxSlots |
Maximum number of backoff slots (when multiplied by m_slotTime, determines maximum backoff time)
| uint32_t ns3::Backoff::m_minSlots |
Minimum number of backoff slots (when multiplied by m_slotTime, determines minimum backoff time)
Length of one slot. A slot time, it usually the packet transmission time, if the packet size is fixed.
