Detailed Description

create MAC layers for a ns3::WifiNetDevice.

This class can create MACs of type ns3::ApWifiMac, ns3::StaWifiMac and ns3::AdhocWifiMac. Its purpose is to allow a WifiHelper to configure and install WifiMac objects on a collection of nodes. The WifiMac objects themselves are mainly composed of TxMiddle, RxMiddle, ChannelAccessManager, FrameExchangeManager, WifiRemoteStationManager, MpduAggregator and MsduAggregartor objects, so this helper offers the opportunity to configure attribute values away from their default values, on a per-NodeContainer basis. By default, it creates an Adhoc MAC layer without QoS. Typically, it is used to set type and attribute values, then hand this object over to the WifiHelper that finishes the job of installing.

This class may be further subclassed (WaveMacHelper is an example of this).

Member Function Documentation

◆ Create()

Ptr< WifiMac > ns3::WifiMacHelper::Create ( Ptr< WifiNetDevice >  device,
WifiStandard  standard 
) const
virtual
Parameters
devicethe device within which the MAC object will reside
standardthe standard to configure during installation
Returns
a new MAC object.

This allows the ns3::WifiHelper class to create MAC objects from ns3::WifiHelper::Install.
