Detailed Description

The Supported Rates Information Element.

This class knows how to serialise and deserialise the Supported Rates Element that holds the first 8 (non-HT) supported rates.

The ExtendedSupportedRatesIE class (of which an instance exists in objects of this class) deals with rates beyond the first 8.

friend

We support the Extended Supported Rates Information Element through the ExtendedSupportedRatesIE object which is declared above.

We allow this class to be a friend so that it can access our private data detailing the rates, and create an instance as extended.

◆ MAX_SUPPORTED_RATES

const uint8_t ns3::SupportedRates::MAX_SUPPORTED_RATES = 32
static

This defines the maximum number of supported rates that a STA is allowed to have.

Currently this number is set for IEEE 802.11b/g and SISO IEEE 802.11n stations which need 2 rates each from Clauses 15 and 18, and then 8 from Clause 19.
