IRx

Package: inet.linklayer.ieee80211.mac.contract

module interface IRx

Interface for Rx processes. The Rx process checks received frames for errors, manages the NAV, and notifies other processes about the channel state (free or busy). The channel is free only if it is free according to both the physical (CCA) and the virtual (NAV-based) carrier sense algorithms. Correctly received frames are sent up to upper layers, corrupted frames are discarded.
