CompoundPendingQueue¶

Package: inet.linklayer.ieee80211.mac.queue

compound module CompoundPendingQueue

Implements a prioritized queue system for IEEE 802.11 MAC frames. Uses a classifier to separate incoming packets into three queues: management frames (highest priority), multicast frames (medium priority), and unicast frames (lowest priority). A priority scheduler then selects packets from these queues in order of priority.
