Simple Module Ieee80211MgmtAdhoc

File: NetworkInterfaces/Ieee80211/Mgmt/Ieee80211MgmtAdhoc.ned

C++ definition: click here

802.11 management module used for ad-hoc mode. Relies on the MAC layer (Ieee80211Mac) for reception and transmission of frames.

This implementation never sends control or management frames, and discards any such frame received. Distributed beacon generation is not modelled. Only data frames are understood or sent at any time.

This module never switches channels, that is, it will operate on the channel the physical layer is configured for (see channelNumber in Ieee80211Radio).

The following diagram shows usage relationships between modules, networks and channels. Unresolved module (and channel) types are missing from the diagram. Click here to see the full picture.

Used in compound modules:

If a module type shows up more than once, that means it has been defined in more than one NED file.
