wlanRateControlARF

Create an auto rate fallback (ARF) rate control algorithm using the wlanRateControlARF object, and integrate this algorithm into a wireless local area network (WLAN) simulation to dynamically adapt transmission rates.

Create the network simulator.

networksimulator = wirelessNetworkSimulator.init;

Create the ARF rate control object.

myRC = wlanRateControlARF(SuccessThreshold=5,FailureThreshold=2);

Create the device configuration for the AP node, and add the custom rate control algorithm.

deviceCfg = wlanDeviceConfig(Mode="AP",BeaconInterval=5,RateControl=myRC);

Create an AP node with the custom device configuration.

apNode = wlanNode(Name="AP",Position=[0 10 0],DeviceConfig=deviceCfg);

Create an STA node with the default configuration.

staNode = wlanNode(Name="STA",Position=[5 0 0]);

Add mobility to the STA node.

addMobility(staNode,BoundaryShape="circle",Bounds=[5 0 60])

Associate the STA node with the AP node.

associateStations(apNode,staNode)

Configure the network for On-Off traffic.

traffic = networkTrafficOnOff(DataRate=10,PacketSize=10,OnExponentialMean=1.3);
addTrafficSource(apNode,traffic,DestinationNode=staNode)

Add the AP and STA nodes to the simulator.

addNodes(networksimulator,{apNode staNode})

Run the simulation for 0.4 seconds.

simulationTime = 0.4;
run(networksimulator,simulationTime)

Retrieve the APP, MAC, and PHY statistics at each node by using the statistics object function.

stats = statistics([apNode staNode],"all");
