Package inet.physicallayer.contract.packetlevel

Name Type Description
IAnalogModel module interface

The analog model describes how the analog representation of the transmissions is turned into the analog representation of the receptions.

IAntenna module interface

The antenna model describes the physical device (a part of the radio) which converts electric signals into radio waves, and vice versa.

ICommunicationCache module interface (no description)
IErrorModel module interface

The error model describes how the signal to noise ratio affects the amount of errors at the receiver.

IMediumLimitCache module interface (no description)
INeighborCache module interface

The neighbor cache model computes the affected set of receivers on the medium for a given transmission.

IObstacleLoss module interface

The obstacle loss model describes the reduction of power as the signal passes through physical objects.

IPathLoss module interface

The path loss model describes the reduction of power as the signal propagates through space.

IPhysicalLayer module interface

This module interface provides an abstraction for the interface of different physical layers.

IPropagation module interface

The propagation model describes how a radio signal propagates through space over time.

IRadio module interface

Prototype for radio modules. Radio modules deal with the transmission of frames over a wireless medium (the radio medium).

IRadioBackgroundNoise module interface

The background noise model describes the thermal noise, the cosmic background noise, and other random fluctuations of the electromagnetic field that affect the quality of the communication channel.

IRadioMedium module interface

The medium model describes the shared physical medium where communication takes place. It keeps track of radios, noise sources, ongoing transmissions, background noise, and other ongoing noises. The medium computes when, where and how transmissions and noises arrive at receivers.

IReceiver module interface

The receiver model describes the physical process which converts electric signals into packets.

ITransmitter module interface

The transmitter model describes the physical process which converts packets into electric signals.
