class DcfManager

Detailed Description

keep track of the state needed for a single DCF function.

Multiple instances of a DcfState can be registered in a single DcfManager to implement 802.11e-style relative QoS. DcfState::SetAifsn and DcfState::SetCwBounds allow the user to control the relative QoS differentiation.


Member Function Documentation

uint32_t ns3::DcfState::GetCw ( void   )  const
Returns:
the current value of the CW variable. The initial value is minCW.
bool ns3::DcfState::IsAccessRequested ( void   )  const
Returns:
true if access has been requested for this DcfState and has not been granted already, false otherwise.
void ns3::DcfState::ResetCw ( void   ) 

Update the value of the CW variable to take into account a transmission success or a transmission abort (stop transmission of a packet after the maximum number of retransmissions has been reached). By default, this resets the CW variable to minCW.

void ns3::DcfState::SetAifsn ( uint32_t  aifsn  ) 
Parameters:
aifsn the number of slots which make up an AIFS for a specific DCF. a DIFS corresponds to an AIFSN = 2.

Calling this method after DcfManager::Add has been called is not recommended.

void ns3::DcfState::StartBackoffNow ( uint32_t  nSlots  ) 
Parameters:
nSlots the number of slots of the backoff.

Start a backoff by initializing the backoff counter to the number of slots specified.

void ns3::DcfState::UpdateFailedCw ( void   ) 

Update the value of the CW variable to take into account a transmission failure. By default, this triggers a doubling of CW (capped by maxCW).
