Inheritance diagram

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

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
ApskDimensionalRadio	compound module	(no description)
ApskLayeredRadio	compound module	This radio model is part of a simple hypothetical layered radio. It produces detailed transmissions that have separate representations for all simulated domains.
ApskRadio	compound module	This radio model provides a hypothetical radio that simply uses one of the well-known modulations without utilizing other techniques such as forward error correction, interleaving, spreading, etc.
ApskScalarRadio	compound module	(no description)
ApskUnitDiskRadio	compound module	Specializes ~ApskRadio to use the simplified signal representation of the unit disk signal propagation model. Suitable for simulations where computational efficiency is more important than detailed physical layer modeling.
FlatRadioBase	compound module	Serves as a base module for flat radio models.
GenericDimensionalRadio	compound module	(no description)
GenericRadio	compound module	This radio is part of the generic radio architecture.
GenericScalarRadio	compound module	(no description)
GenericUnitDiskRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee80211DimensionalRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee80211OfdmRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee80211Radio	compound module	This radio model is part of the IEEE 802.11 physical layer model. It supports multiple channels, different operation modes, and preamble modes. It must be used in conjunction with the ~Ieee80211RadioMedium model or other derived models.
Ieee80211ScalarRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee80211UnitDiskRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154NarrowbandDimensionalRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154NarrowbandRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154NarrowbandScalarRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154NarrowbandUnitDiskRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154UwbIrRadio	compound module	(no description)
NarrowbandRadioBase	compound module	Serves as a base module for narrowband radio models.
NoiseSource	compound module	A network node that generates periodic noise transmissions that can interfere with wireless communications. Alternates between sleep and transmission states based on configurable intervals. Uses a ~NoiseTransmitter to create noise signals with specified duration, frequency, bandwidth, and power parameters. Useful for testing protocol robustness against interference in wireless networks.
Radio	compound module	The radio model describes the physical device that is capable of transmitting and receiving signals on the medium. It contains an antenna model, a transmitter model, a receiver model, and an energy consumer model.
ShortcutRadio	simple module	Implements a simple shortcut to peer radio protocol that completely bypasses the physical medium. This radio module directly sends packets to the other radio module without any physical layer processing in the radio medium. Packets received from the upper layer protocols may be lost. Physical layer overhead is simply simulated by physical header bits, preamble transmission duration, and a propagation delay.

Known subclasses
