Compound Module CoreTestNic

File: contrib/nic/CoreTestNic.ned

The nic (network interface card) is a compound module that contains the MAC and PHY of a host within the Mobility Framework

The coreTesdNic is just for core testing purposes

IMPORTANT:
In order to work with the ChannelControl module the snrEval module has to be called "snrEval" in the ned file.

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.

AlohaMacLayer	Aloha MAC protocol
SingleChannelRadio	(no description)
TestDecider	Test Decider module to test core functionality
TestSnrEval	Test SnrEval module to test core functionality

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.

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

Gates:

Name	Direction	Description
uppergateIn	input	to upper layers
uppergateOut	output	from upper layers
upperControlOut	output	control information
radioIn	input	radioIn gate for sendDirect

Unassigned submodule parameters:

Name	Type	Description
mac.debug	bool	debug switch
mac.headerLength	numeric const	level at which we consider medium busy
mac.queueLength	numeric const	length of the MAC queue
mac.bitrate	numeric const	bit rate in bit/s
mac.defaultChannel	numeric const	default channel
decider.coreDebug	bool	debug switch
snrEval.coreDebug	bool	debug switch
snrEval.headerLength	numeric const
radio.debug	bool
radio.swSleep	numeric const	time parameters, how long does it take to switch to sleep mode
radio.swSend	numeric const	switch to send mode
radio.swRecv	numeric const	switch to recv mode
