◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::BlockAckManager::DoDispose ( void  )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Destructor implementation.

This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.

It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.

Handle the given in flight MPDU based on its given status.

If the status is ACKNOWLEDGED, the MPDU is removed from both the EDCA queue and the queue of in flight MPDUs. If the status is TO_RETRANSMIT, the MPDU is only removed from the queue of in flight MPDUs. Note that the MPDU is removed from both queues (independently of the status) if the MPDU is not stored in the EDCA queue, is an old packet or its lifetime expired.

◆ NotifyDiscardedMpdu()

void ns3::BlockAckManager::NotifyDiscardedMpdu ( Ptr< const WifiMacQueueItem mpdu)
Parameters
mpduthe discarded frame

Notify the block ack manager that an MPDU has been discarded, e.g., because the MSDU lifetime expired. If there is an established block ack agreement, make the transmit window advance beyond the discarded frame. This also involves (i) the removal of frames that consequently become old from the retransmit queue and from the queue of the block ack agreement, and (ii) the scheduling of a BlockAckRequest.

◆ NotifyGotAck()

void ns3::BlockAckManager::NotifyGotAck ( Ptr< const WifiMacQueueItem mpdu)

Invoked upon receipt of an Ack frame after the transmission of a QoS data frame sent under an established block ack agreement.

Remove the acknowledged frame from the outstanding packets and update the starting sequence number of the transmit window, if needed.

Parameters
mpduThe acknowledged MPDU.

Parameters
blockAckThe received BlockAck frame.

indexthe index of the Per AID TID Info subfield, in case of Multi-STA Block Ack, or 0, otherwise
Returns
a pair of values indicating the number of successfully received MPDUs and the number of failed MPDUs

Invoked upon receipt of a BlockAck frame. Typically, this function, is called by ns3::QosTxop object. Performs a check on which MPDUs, previously sent with Ack Policy set to Block Ack, were correctly received by the recipient. An acknowledged MPDU is removed from the buffer, retransmitted otherwise. Note that tids is only used if blockAck is a Multi-STA Block Ack using All-ack context.
