Name Type Description
NicCsma compound module

The CsmaNic contains a csma-like MAC layer. The SnrEval module is used as the mac needs a RadioState to be published. However as still the BasicDecider is used all messages will be delivered to the MAC and no packets get lost

// This nic is intended to be used in order to test the implementation
// of the csma protocol.
//
// IMPORTANT:<br> In order to work with the ChannelControl module the snrEval
// module has to be called "snrEval" in the ned file.
//
// This component has been taken over from Mobility Framework 1.0a5.
