[Ns-developers] asking for advices about block ack

[Mirko Banchi]

Hi all,

i'm working in order to insert in ns-3 support for 802.11e/n block ack
mechanism. There are some problems i'd like to discuss with you. Block
ack needs a negotiation fase through an ADDBARequest and ADDAResponse
action frames...Whereas is a queue role to manage retransmission of
missed packets and to keep track of all packets under block ack, i think
it also should negotiate block ack...so it should create and send
ADDBARequest action frame. The problem in this scenario is that queue
needs to create also WifiMacHeader...so it could useful to have a
std::string m_typeOfStation field in ns3::EdcaTxopN object.

What do you think about?

Maybe should be better if it was WifiMac to negotiate block ack?

Thank you all!

Regards,

Mirko
