Compound Module WirelessHost

Package: inet.node.inet
File: src/inet/node/inet/WirelessHost.ned

Models a host with (default) one wireless (802.11) card in infrastructure mode. This module is basically a StandardHost with an Ieee80211Nic with mgmtType = Ieee80211MgmtSTA added. It should be used in conjunction with AccessPoint, or any other AP model which contains Ieee80211Nic with mgmtType = Ieee80211MgmtAP.

Extends:

Name Type Description
StandardHost compound module

IPv4 host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications. IP forwarding is disabled by default (see forwarding).

Known subclasses:

Name Type Description
AdhocHost compound module

A wireless host containing routing, mobility and battery components. Supports only IPv4 protocol, TCP and UDP as transport protocol. This is a typical mobile node which can participate in adhoc routing and may have TCP/UDP applications installed. Supports ICMP (ping) too.

AODVRouter compound module

It models a WirelessHost extended with AODVRouting submodule.
