Compound Module BaseStationHost

File: networks/baseStationNet/BaseStationHost.ned

The BaseStationHost is a compound module that implements a test base station. The test base station contains the PollApplLayer which periodically polls all clients in the network.

Usage diagram:

The following diagram shows usage relationships between modules, networks and channels. Unresolved module (and channel) types are missing from the diagram. Click here to see the full picture.

Contains the following modules:

If a module type shows up more than once, that means it has been defined in more than one NED file.

BasicMobility	Basic module for all mobility modules.
Blackboard	The Blackboard works as entity to enable inter layer / process communication.
CoreTestNic	The nic (network interface card) is a compound module that contains the MAC and PHY of a host within the Mobility Framework
PollApplLayer	Application layer to test centralized scenarios
SimpleArp	(no description)
SimpleNetwLayer	Basic class for the network layer

Used in compound modules:

If a module type shows up more than once, that means it has been defined in more than one NED file.
