ARF Rate control algorithm.
This class implements the so-called ARF algorithm which was initially described in WaveLAN-II: A High-performance wireless LAN for the unlicensed band, by A. Kamerman and L. Monteban. in Bell Lab Technical Journal, pages 118-133, Summer 1997.
This implementation differs from the initial description in that it uses a packet-based timer rather than a time-based timer as described in XXX (I cannot find back the original paper which described how the time-based timer could be easily replaced with a packet-based timer.)
This method returns the TypeId associated to ns3::ArfWifiManager.

Attributes defined for this type:
-
TimerThreshold: The 'timer' threshold in the ARF algorithm.
-
SuccessThreshold: The minimum number of sucessfull transmissions to try a new rate.
Attributes defined in parent class ns3::WifiRemoteStationManager:
-
IsLowLatency: If true, we attempt to modelize a so-called low-latency device: a device where decisions about tx parameters can be made on a per-packet basis and feedback about the transmission of each packet is obtained before sending the next. Otherwise, we modelize a high-latency device, that is a device where we cannot update our decision about tx parameters after every packet transmission.
-
MaxSsrc: The maximum number of retransmission attempts for an RTS. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
-
MaxSlrc: The maximum number of retransmission attempts for a DATA packet. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
-
RtsCtsThreshold: If the size of the data packet + LLC header + MAC header + FCS trailer is bigger than this value, we use an RTS/CTS handshake before sending the data, as per IEEE Std. 802.11-2007, Section 9.2.6. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
-
FragmentationThreshold: If the size of the data packet + LLC header + MAC header + FCS trailer is biggerthan this value, we fragment it such that the size of the fragments are equal or smaller than this value, as per IEEE Std. 802.11-2007, Section 9.4. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
-
NonUnicastMode: Wifi mode used for non-unicast transmissions.
-
Set with class: WifiModeValue
-
Underlying type: WifiMode
-
Initial value: Invalid-WifiMode
-
Flags: construct write read
No TraceSources defined for this type.
TraceSources defined in parent class ns3::WifiRemoteStationManager:
-
MacTxRtsFailed: The transmission of a RTS by the MAC layer has failed
-
MacTxDataFailed: The transmission of a data packet by the MAC layer has failed
-
MacTxFinalRtsFailed: The transmission of a RTS has exceeded the maximum number of attempts
-
MacTxFinalDataFailed: The transmission of a data packet has exceeded the maximum number of attempts
