Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ State

enum ns3::OriginatorBlockAckAgreement::State

Represents the state for this agreement.

PENDING: If an agreement is in PENDING state it means that an ADDBARequest frame was sent to recipient in order to setup the block ack and the originator is waiting for the relative ADDBAResponse frame.

ESTABLISHED: The block ack is active and all packets relative to this agreement are transmitted with Ack Policy set to Block Ack.

NO_REPLY No reply after an ADDBA request. In this state the originator will send the rest of packets in queue using normal MPDU.

RESET A transient state to mark the agreement for reinitialization after failed ADDBA request. Since it is a temporary state, it is not included in the state diagram above. In this state the next transmission will be treated as if the BA agreement is not created yet.

REJECTED (not used for now): The agreement's state becomes REJECTED if an ADDBAResponse frame is received from recipient and the Status Code field is set to failure. State enumeration
