Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
AckingWirelessInterface	compound module	Implements a highly abstracted wireless network interface (NIC) that uses a trivial MAC protocol. It offers simplicity for scenarios where Layer 1 and 2 effects can be completely ignored, for example testing the basic functionality of a wireless ad-hoc routing protocol.
BMacInterface	compound module	Implements a wireless network interface using the B-MAC protocol.
CsmaCaInterface	compound module	Module interface for CSMA/CA network interfaces.
ExtUpperIeee80211Interface	compound module	Provides an IEEE 802.11 network interface suitable for emulation. The upper part of the network interface is realized in the real world using a real TAP device of the host computer which is running the simulation.
Ieee80211Interface	compound module	Implements an IEEE 802.11 network interface. It implements a large subset of the IEEE 802.11 standard, and may use radio models and wireless signal representations of varying levels of detail. It is also extremely configurable, and its component structure makes it easy to experiment with various details of the protocol.
Ieee802154NarrowbandInterface	compound module	Implements an IEEE 802.15.4 narrowband network interface.
Ieee802154UwbIrInterface	compound module	Implements an IEEE 802.15.4 UWB-IR network interface.
LMacInterface	compound module	Implements a wireless network interface using the L-MAC protocol.
ShortcutInterface	compound module	Implements a simplistic network interface that uses a shortcut to the receiver at the MAC layer.
WirelessInterface	compound module	Implements a generic wireless network interface.
XMacInterface	compound module	Implements a wireless network interface using the X-MAC protocol.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
AccessPoint	compound module	A wireless access point device that connects wireless stations (like WirelessHost) to a wired network. Supports multiple wireless radios and multiple Ethernet ports.
LinkLayerNodeBase	compound module	An extension of the basic node infrastructure with link layer functionality. Provides support for various network interfaces and link layer protocols, forming the foundation for network connectivity.

Extends
