Models a host with (default) one wireless (802.11) card in infrastructure mode. This module is basically a StandardHost with an Ieee80211Nic with mgmtType = Ieee80211MgmtSTA added. It should be used in conjunction with AccessPoint, or any other AP model which contains Ieee80211Nic with mgmtType = Ieee80211MgmtAP.

Inheritance diagram

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

Known subclasses

Name	Type	Description
AdhocHost	compound module	A wireless host containing routing, mobility and battery components. Supports only IPv4 protocol, TCP and UDP as transport protocol. This is a typical mobile node which can participate in adhoc routing and may have TCP/UDP applications installed. Supports ICMP (ping) too.
AODVRouter	compound module	It models a WirelessHost extended with AODVRouting submodule.
DYMORouter	compound module	TODO
GPSRRouter	compound module	TODO

Extends

Name	Type	Description
StandardHost	compound module	IPv4 host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications. IP forwarding is disabled by default (see forwarding).
