Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
ApskDimensionalRadio	compound module	This radio model provides a hypothetical radio that simply uses one of the well-known modulations without utilizing other techiques such as forward error correction, interleaving, spreading, etc. It must be used in conjunction with the ApskDimensionalRadioMedium model.
ApskLayeredDimensionalRadio	compound module	This radio model is part of a simple hypothetical layered radio. It produces detailed transmissions that have separate representation for all simulated domains. It must be used in conjunction with the ApskLayeredDimensionalRadioMedium model.
ApskLayeredScalarRadio	compound module	This radio model is part of a simple hypothetical layered radio. It produces detailed transmissions that have separate representation for all simulated domains. It must be used in conjunction with the ApskLayeredScalarRadioMedium model.
ApskRadio	compound module	This radio model provides a hypothetical radio that simply uses one of the well-known modulations without utilizing other techiques such as forward error correction, interleaving, spreading, etc.
ApskScalarRadio	compound module	This radio model provides a hypothetical radio that simply uses one of the well-known modulations without utilizing other techiques such as forward error correction, interleaving, spreading, etc. It must be used in conjunction with the ApskScalarRadioMedium model.
FlatRadioBase	compound module	This module servces as a base module for flat radio models.
Ieee80211DimensionalRadio	compound module	This radio model uses dimensional transmission power (that changes over time and/or frequency) in the analog representation. It must be used in conjunction with the Ieee80211DimensionalRadioMedium model.
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	This radio model uses scalar transmission power in the analog representation. It must be used in conjunction with the Ieee80211ScalarRadioMedium model. See also: Ieee80211ScalarRadioMedium, Ieee80211ScalarTransmitter, Ieee80211ScalarReceiver, ScalarAnalogModel.
Ieee80211UnitDiskRadio	compound module	This radio model uses ideal analog representation. It must be used in conjunction with the UnitDiskRadioMedium model.
Ieee802154NarrowbandDimensionalRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154NarrowbandRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154NarrowbandScalarRadio	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154UwbIrRadio	compound module	(no description)
NarrowbandRadioBase	compound module	This module servces as a base module for narrowband radio models.
NoiseSource	compound module	(no description)
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	This 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.
UnitDiskRadio	compound module	This radio model provides a very simple but fast and predictable physical layer behavior. It must be used in conjunction with the UnitDiskRadioMedium model.

Known subclasses
