Detailed Description

an implementation of the AARF-CD algorithm

This algorithm was first described in "Efficient Collision Detection for Auto Rate Fallback Algorithm". The implementation available here was done by Federico Maguolo for a very early development version of ns-3. Federico died before merging this work in ns-3 itself so his code was ported to ns-3 later without his supervision.

static TypeId ns3::AarfcdWifiManager::GetTypeId ( void   )  [static]

This method returns the TypeId associated to ns3::AarfcdWifiManager.

This object is accessible through the following paths with Config::Set and Config::Connect:

  • /NodeList/[i]/DeviceList/[i]/$ns3::WifiNetDevice/RemoteStationManager/$ns3::AarfcdWifiManager
Attributes defined for this type:
  • SuccessK: Multiplication factor for the success threshold in the AARF algorithm.
    • Set with class: ns3::DoubleValue
    • Underlying type: double -1.79769e+308:1.79769e+308
    • Initial value: 2
    • Flags: construct write read
  • TimerK: Multiplication factor for the timer threshold in the AARF algorithm.
    • Set with class: ns3::DoubleValue
    • Underlying type: double -1.79769e+308:1.79769e+308
    • Initial value: 2
    • Flags: construct write read
  • MaxSuccessThreshold: Maximum value of the success threshold in the AARF algorithm.
  • MinTimerThreshold: The minimum value for the 'timer' threshold in the AARF algorithm.
  • MinSuccessThreshold: The minimum value for the success threshold in the AARF algorithm.
  • MinRtsWnd: Minimum value for Rts window of Aarf-CD
  • MaxRtsWnd: Maximum value for Rts window of Aarf-CD
  • RtsFailsAsDataFails: If true the RTS failures will be treated by Aarf-CD as Data failures
    • Set with class: BooleanValue
    • Underlying type: bool
    • Initial value: false
    • Flags: construct write read
  • TurnOffRtsAfterRateDecrease: If true the RTS mechanism will be turned off when the rate will be decreased
    • Set with class: BooleanValue
    • Underlying type: bool
    • Initial value: true
    • Flags: construct write read
  • TurnOnRtsAfterRateIncrease: If true the RTS mechanism will be turned on when the rate will be increased
    • Set with class: BooleanValue
    • Underlying type: bool
    • Initial value: true
    • Flags: construct write read
Attributes defined in parent class ns3::WifiRemoteStationManager:
  • IsLowLatency: If true, we attempt to modelize a so-called low-latency device: a device where decisions about tx parameters can be made on a per-packet basis and feedback about the transmission of each packet is obtained before sending the next. Otherwise, we modelize a high-latency device, that is a device where we cannot update our decision about tx parameters after every packet transmission.
    • Set with class: BooleanValue
    • Underlying type: bool
    • Initial value: true
    • Flags: construct write read
  • MaxSsrc: The maximum number of retransmission attempts for an RTS. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
  • MaxSlrc: The maximum number of retransmission attempts for a DATA packet. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
  • RtsCtsThreshold: If a data packet is bigger than this value, we use an RTS/CTS handshake before sending the data. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
  • FragmentationThreshold: If a data packet is bigger than this value, we fragment it such that the size of the fragments are equal or smaller than this value. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
  • NonUnicastMode: Wifi mode used for non-unicast transmissions.
    • Set with class: WifiModeValue
    • Underlying type: WifiMode
    • Initial value: Invalid-WifiMode
    • Flags: construct write read
No TraceSources defined for this type.
