The rates supported are listed in src/phymodes.h

In the current version it is used for all control frames, i.e., RTS, CTS 
and ACK, as well as for all broadcast packets.

Yes

I suggest checking the 802.11 standard for this matter.

[ns] dei80211mr MAC parameters

[ryan m]

hello,
 I am using dei80211mr-1.1.1, I have successfully set it up under
ns 2.31.  I just have a couple quick question about it's use.

there is a parameter for the mac, $mac($i) dataMode_ $PHYDataRate ,
and one possibility for PHYDataRate is Mode6Mb.  What are the other
possibilities, in particular I'd like to know the option for 802.11g
multirate, and if possible 11MB unirate.

the other question is about the parameter $mac($i) basicMode_ Mode6Mb,
is this the basic rate for the multirate beacons and broadcast
packets?  Are the possibilities for this parameter the same as for the
other parameter?  If my interpretation of the parameter is correct;
2MB is the correct basic rate for 802.11g right?, what is the correct
value for setting it to that?

Thank you very much for any help you can offer,
Ryan
