Hi Amir, In the following document Section 1.8.4, it is written that:
*"All the control packets would be transmitted through the basicRate_ which is mostly 1Mbps, configuration is in the file ns2/tcl/lan/ns-mac.tcl; All the data packet would be transmitted through the dataRate_ which is also mostly 1Mbps; You need to specify it through your tcl configuration simulation file if you need another value for them, especally a different bandwidth_;"* http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~kliu/research/ns2code/note.pdf MAC layer that deals with RTS and CTS but they are also transmitted with certain rate. In fact, there are two rates Basic rate and Data rate. Some packets are scheduled at basic rate while others are at data rate Mac/802_11 set dataRate_ 11Mb Mac/802_11 set basicRate_ 2Mb For more help: http://www.joshuarobinson.net/docs/ns-802_11b.html http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~wuxiucha/research/reactive/publication/Simulate80211ChannelWithNS2.pdf best regards Mubashir Husain Rehmani Lip6/UPMC Sorbonne Universté Paris, France On 3 March 2011 20:06, amir <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi researchers, > > My question is related to the Basic Rate and Data Rate. > Assume that the value for these two parameters are different which in a > reality it is different. > > How ns differs between which packets should be sent at the Basic Rate > and which ons should be sent at Data Rate? > > Best Regards, > Amir > > -- > _______________________________________________________ > Amir Darehshoorzadeh | Comp.
