// This script configures two nodes on an 802.11b physical layer, with
// 802.11b NICs in infrastructure mode, and by default, the station sends
// one packet of 1000 (application) bytes to the access point.  Unlike
// the default physical layer configuration in which the path loss increases
// (and the received signal strength decreases) as the distance between the
// nodes increases, this example uses an artificial path loss model that
// allows the configuration of the received signal strength (RSS) regardless
// of other transmitter parameters (such as transmit power) or distance.
// Therefore, changing position of the nodes has no effect.
//
// There are a number of command-line options available to control
// the default behavior.  The list of available command-line options
// can be listed with the following command:
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-infra --help"
// Additional command-line options are available via the generic attribute
// configuration system.
//
// For instance, for the default configuration, the physical layer will
// stop successfully receiving packets when rss drops to -82 dBm or below.
// To see this effect, try running:
//
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-80 --numPackets=20"
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-81 --numPackets=20"
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-82 --numPackets=20"
//
// The last command (and any RSS value lower than this) results in no
// packets received.  This is due to the preamble detection model that
// dominates the reception performance.  By default, the
// ThresholdPreambleDetectionModel is added to all WifiPhy objects, and this
// model prevents reception unless the incoming signal has a RSS above its
// 'MinimumRssi' value (default of -82 dBm) and has a SNR above the
// 'Threshold' value (default of 4).
//
// If we relax these values, we can instead observe that signal reception
// due to the 802.11b error model alone is much lower.  For instance,
// setting the MinimumRssi to -101 (around the thermal noise floor).
// and the SNR Threshold to -10 dB, shows that the DsssErrorRateModel can
// successfully decode at RSS values of -97 or -98 dBm.
//
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-97 --numPackets=20
// --ns3::ThresholdPreambleDetectionModel::Threshold=-10
// --ns3::ThresholdPreambleDetectionModel::MinimumRssi=-101"
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-98 --numPackets=20
// --ns3::ThresholdPreambleDetectionModel::Threshold=-10
// --ns3::ThresholdPreambleDetectionModel::MinimumRssi=-101"
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-infra --rss=-99 --numPackets=20
// --ns3::ThresholdPreambleDetectionModel::Threshold=-10
// --ns3::ThresholdPreambleDetectionModel::MinimumRssi=-101"
 
//
// Note that all ns-3 attributes (not just the ones exposed in the below
// script) can be changed at command line; see the documentation.
//
// This script can also be helpful to put the Wifi layer into verbose
// logging mode; this command will turn on all wifi logging:
//
// ./ns3 run "wifi-simple-infra --verbose=1"
//
// When you are done, you will notice two pcap trace files in your directory.
// If you have tcpdump installed, you can try this:
//
// tcpdump -r wifi-simple-infra-0-0.pcap -nn -tt
