Detailed Description

A IEEE 802.11 OFDM transmission (according to .11a/g) consists of several elements:

• The PLCP preamble
• The SIGNAL (containing rate, length, parity)
• SERVICE bits
• The PSDU
• Tail and padding bits The last three elements are coded using the code rate as defined by the MCS. The first two have a constant duration (e.g. 12+1 symbol in .11g) and are neccessary to decode the following PSDU. In the simulator, this first part is simulated as a separate transmission, before the actual PSDU transmission, called the "Preamble". The PreambleGenerator creates this preamble, sends it and delays the actual PSDU.

Member Function Documentation

void wimemac::convergence::PreambleGenerator::calculateSizes	(	const wns::ldk::CommandPool *	commandPool,
		Bit &	commandPoolSize,
		Bit &	dataSize
	)			const [private, virtual]

Implements wns::ldk::CommandTypeSpecifierInterface.

wns::ldk::CompoundPtr wimemac::convergence::PreambleGenerator::getSomethingToSend

(

)

[private, virtual]

This method must never return NULL. This method will only be called after a call to hasSomethingToSend returned a non-null value. The FunctionalUnit must return the same PDU as returned by hasSomethingToSend.

Implements wns::ldk::DelayedInterface.

bool wimemac::convergence::PreambleGenerator::hasCapacity

(

)

const [private, virtual]

While hasCapacity returns false, processIncoming will never be called.

Implements wns::ldk::DelayedInterface.

const wns::ldk::CompoundPtr wimemac::convergence::PreambleGenerator::hasSomethingToSend

(

)

const [private, virtual]

Implements wns::ldk::DelayedInterface.

void wimemac::convergence::PreambleGenerator::onFUNCreated

(

)

[private, virtual]

Often FunctionalUnits require the collaboration with other FunctionalUnits to accomplish their task. For the collaboration between FunctionalUnits we coined the term "friendship".

The onFUNCreated method is a hook being called after the complete FUN has been set up. FunctionalUnits requiring the collaboration with other FunctionalUnits should resolve these dependencies by implementing this hook accordingly.

Finding friends is usually done calling wns::ldk::fun::FUN::findFriend.

When building reconfigurable FUNs, this method may get called multiple times (e.g., after each FUN reconfiguration). Keep that in mind when allocating resources in your onFUNCreated implementation.

Reimplemented from wns::ldk::FunctionalUnit.

void wimemac::convergence::PreambleGenerator::processIncoming

const wns::ldk::CompoundPtr &

compound

)

[private, virtual]

Implements wns::ldk::DelayedInterface.

void wimemac::convergence::PreambleGenerator::processOutgoing

(

const wns::ldk::CompoundPtr &

)

[private, virtual]

Override this method to handle outgoing compounds.

Implements wns::ldk::DelayedInterface.
