Each station // continously transmits data packets to its respective AP. // // Network topology (numbers in parentheses are channel numbers): // // Network A (36) Network B (40) Network C (44) Network D (48) // * * * * * * * * // | | | | | | | | // AP A STA A AP B STA B AP C STA C AP D STA D // // The aggregation parameters are configured differently on the 4 stations: // - station A uses default aggregation parameter values (A-MSDU disabled, A-MPDU enabled with maximum size of 65 kB); // - station B doesn't use aggregation (both A-MPDU and A-MSDU are disabled); // - station C enables A-MSDU (with maximum size of 8 kB) but disables A-MPDU; // - station C uses two-level aggregation (A-MPDU with maximum size of 32 kB and A-MSDU with maximum size of 4 kB). // // Packets in this simulation aren't marked with a QosTag so they // are considered belonging to BestEffort Access Class (AC_BE). // // The user can select the distance between the stations and the APs and can enable/disable the RTS/CTS mechanism. // Example: ./waf --run "wifi-aggregation --distance=10 --enableRts=0 --simulationTime=20" // // The output prints the throughput measured for the 4 cases/networks decribed above. When default aggregation parameters are enabled, the // maximum A-MPDU size is 65 kB and the throughput is maximal. When aggregation is disabled, the thoughput is about the half of the // physical bitrate as in legacy wifi networks. When only A-MSDU is enabled, the throughput is increased but is not maximal, since the maximum // A-MSDU size is limited to 7935 bytes (whereas the maximum A-MPDU size is limited to 65535 bytes). When A-MSDU and A-MPDU are both enabled // (= two-level aggregation), the throughput is slightly smaller than the first scenario since we set a smaller maximum A-MPDU size. // // When the distance is increased, the frame error rate gets higher, and the output shows how it affects the throughput for the 4 networks. // Even through A-MSDU has less overheads than A-MPDU, A-MSDU is less robust against transmission errors than A-MPDU. When the distance is // augmented, the throughput for the third scenario is more affected than the throughput obtained in other networks. using namespace ns3; NS_LOG_COMPONENT_DEFINE ("SimpleMpduAggregation");
