Detailed Description

This queue implements the timeout procedure described in (Section 9.19.2.6 "Retransmit procedures" paragraph 6; IEEE 802.11-2012).

When a packet is received by the MAC, to be sent to the PHY, it is queued in the internal queue after being tagged by the current time.

When a packet is dequeued, the queue checks its timestamp to verify whether or not it should be dropped. If dot11EDCATableMSDULifetime has elapsed, it is dropped. Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Dequeue()

Ptr< WifiMacQueueItem > ns3::WifiMacQueue::Dequeue ( void )

Dequeue the packet in the front of the queue.

Returns: the packet

Definition at line 148 of file wifi-mac-queue.cc.

References NS_LOG_DEBUG, NS_LOG_FUNCTION, and TtlExceeded().

◆ DequeueByAddress()

Ptr< WifiMacQueueItem > ns3::WifiMacQueue::DequeueByAddress ( Mac48Address dest )

Search and return, if present in the queue, the first packet having the address indicated by type equal to addr.

This method removes the packet from the queue. It is typically used by ns3::Txop during the CF period.

Parameters

dest	the given destination

Returns: the packet

Definition at line 163 of file wifi-mac-queue.cc.

References NS_LOG_DEBUG, NS_LOG_FUNCTION, and TtlExceeded().

◆ DequeueByTidAndAddress()

Ptr< WifiMacQueueItem > ns3::WifiMacQueue::DequeueByTidAndAddress	(	uint8_t	tid,
		Mac48Address	dest
	)

Search and return, if present in the queue, the first packet having the address indicated by type equal to addr, and tid equal to tid.

This method removes the packet from the queue. It is typically used by ns3::QosTxop in order to perform correct MSDU aggregation (A-MSDU).

Parameters

tid	the given TID
dest	the given destination

Returns: the packet

Definition at line 184 of file wifi-mac-queue.cc.

References NS_LOG_DEBUG, NS_LOG_FUNCTION, and TtlExceeded().

◆ DequeueFirstAvailable()

Ptr< WifiMacQueueItem > ns3::WifiMacQueue::DequeueFirstAvailable ( const Ptr< QosBlockedDestinations > blockedPackets )

Return first available packet for transmission.

A packet could be no available if it is a QoS packet with a tid and an address1 fields equal to tid and addr respectively that index a pending agreement in the BlockAckManager object. So that packet must not be transmitted until reception of an ADDBA response frame from station addressed by addr. This method removes the packet from queue.

Parameters

blockedPackets

Returns: packet
