Compound Module ClientHost

File: networks/baseStationNet/ClientHost.ned

The ClientHost is a compound module that implements a very simple mobile client. It only consists of basic modules and the ClientApplLayer.

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.

BasicApplLayer	Basic class for the application layer
Blackboard	The Blackboard works as entity to enable inter layer / process communication.
ConstSpeedMobility	Controls all movement related things of a host
CoreTestNic	The nic (network interface card) is a compound module that contains the MAC and PHY of a host within the Mobility Framework
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.

BaseStationNetwork

A WLAN like base station controlled network

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
