IIeee80211Mgmt¶

module interface IIeee80211Mgmt

Module interface for all IEEE 802.11 management module types. It exists to specify what gates a management module should have in order to be usable within Ieee80211Interface.

Implemented by¶

Name	Type	Description
Ieee80211MgmtAdhoc	simple module	IEEE 802.11 management module used for ad-hoc mode. This implementation never sends control or management frames, and discards any such frame received. Distributed beacon generation is not modeled.
Ieee80211MgmtAp	simple module	Used in 802.11 infrastructure mode in an access point (AP).
Ieee80211MgmtApSimplified	simple module	Used in 802.11 infrastructure mode in an access point (AP).
Ieee80211MgmtSta	simple module	Used in 802.11 infrastructure mode: handles management frames for a station (STA).
Ieee80211MgmtStaSimplified	simple module	Used in 802.11 infrastructure mode for a station (STA).

Parameters¶

Name	Type	Default value	Description
macModule	string		The path to the MAC module

Properties¶
