Packet AirFrame

File: src/linklayer/mfcore/AirFrame.msg

Format of the messages that are sent to the channel

subclass if you want to create your own AirFrame message class

This message format is used to send a packet from a snrEval module to the channel. All other snrEval modules that can 'hear' this message can evaluate noise, interference etc. from the information contained in this message:

If you need more fields for whatever reason, please do NOT create your own message! Just extend (subclass) this message format (see Omnet manual,chapter Messages - Inheritance among message classes).

This component has been taken over from Mobility Framework 1.0a5.

TODO: As soon as opp_msgc also supports pointers we should replace the id with a pointer to the nodes coordinates itself.
