// This is a simple example of an IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi network.
//
// The main use case is to enable and test SpectrumWifiPhy vs YansWifiPhy
// under saturation conditions (for max throughput).
//
// Network topology:
//
//  Wi-Fi 192.168.1.0
//
//   STA                  AP
//    * <-- distance -->  *
//    |                   |
//    n1                  n2
//
// Users may vary the following command-line arguments in addition to the
// attributes, global values, and default values typically available:
//
//    --simulationTime:  Simulation time in seconds [10]
//    --distance:        meters separation between nodes [50]
//    --index:           restrict index to single value between 0 and 31 [256]
//    --wifiType:        select ns3::SpectrumWifiPhy or ns3::YansWifiPhy [ns3::SpectrumWifiPhy]
//    --errorModelType:  select ns3::NistErrorRateModel or ns3::YansErrorRateModel [ns3::NistErrorRateModel]
//    --enablePcap:      enable pcap output [false]
//
// By default, the program will step through 64 index values, corresponding
// to the following MCS, channel width, and guard interval combinations:
//   index 0-7:    MCS 0-7, long guard interval, 20 MHz channel
//   index 8-15:   MCS 0-7, short guard interval, 20 MHz channel
//   index 16-23:  MCS 0-7, long guard interval, 40 MHz channel
//   index 24-31:  MCS 0-7, short guard interval, 40 MHz channel
//   index 32-39:    MCS 8-15, long guard interval, 20 MHz channel
//   index 40-47:   MCS 8-15, short guard interval, 20 MHz channel
//   index 48-55:  MCS 8-15, long guard interval, 40 MHz channel
//   index 56-63:  MCS 8-15, short guard interval, 40 MHz channel
// and send packets at a high rate using each MCS, using the SpectrumWifiPhy
// and the NistErrorRateModel, at a distance of 1 meter.  The program outputs
// results such as:
//
// wifiType: ns3::SpectrumWifiPhy distance: 1m
// index   MCS   width Rate (Mb/s) Tput (Mb/s) Received
//     0     0      20       6.5     5.96219    5063
//     1     1      20        13     11.9491   10147
//     2     2      20      19.5     17.9184   15216
//     3     3      20        26     23.9253   20317
//     ...
//
// selection of index values 32-63 will result in MCS selection 8-15
// involving two spatial streams
