[ns] MAC receive

[mani srinivas potnuru]

Hi,

I am trying to find out how much the power is consumed in the receving a
packet in the MAC ..For that my RADIO model has to know when it started
receiving and when it finished ...

can anybody pls point out where in mac-802_11.cc the starting and ending
of the receive packet events taking place (with collisions taking care
of). I gone through the all the code and came up with this. I just want to
make sure that i got it correctly..



/* start of receive */
1166 in mac-802_11.cc
  if(rx_state_ == MAC_IDLE) {
        SET_RX_STATE(MAC_RECV);
}

/* end of receive */
500 in mac-802_11.cc in rx_resume() function..
SET_RX_STATE(MAC_IDLE);


is this correct ..


TIA
Mani
