Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
Ieee80211Mac	compound module	Implementation of the 802.11 MAC protocol. This module is intended to be used in combination with the Ieee80211Radio module as the physical layer.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
ExtUpperIeee80211Interface	compound module	This 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	This 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.
