C++ definition

Used in 802.11 infrastructure mode in an access point (AP).

This module expects ~Ieee80211MgmtSta modules to be present in the stations.

This module never switches channels, that is, it will operate on the channel the physical layer is configured for (see channelNumber in ~Ieee80211Radio).

This module relies on a connected ~Ieee80211Mac for actual reception and transmission of frames.
