[Ns-developers] WifiRemoteStationManager Question

[Ghada Badawy]

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding the current implementation of
WifiRemoteStationManager. Why does it have 2 lists m_states and
m_stations. When is a new station created? When the AP gets an AssocReq it
updates the state list  (either change the state of an
already existing state or create a new one) not the station list. So when
does the wifiRemoteStationManager create a new WifiRemoteStation?
Why not have one list m_stations and access the states through it since
m_stations has a member m_state?

I am asking this because I want to record HT(highthruput) capabilities of
remote stations to be able to use them to format future packets (i.e the AP
must check if all associated stations can support short guard interval or
not. Based on that an AP may allow the transmission of frames with short
guard interval in the BSS) so should I add these as parameters in m_states
or m_stations?

Thanks,
Ghada
