// This is an example that illustrates how 802.11n aggregation is configured.
// It defines 4 independant Wi-Fi networks (working on different channels).
// Each network contains one access point and one station. 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.
