virtual void WirelessMacBase::handleLowerMsg (  cMessage *  msg  )  [protected, pure virtual]

Handle messages from lower layer. Implemented in CSMAMacLayer, and Mac80211.

void WirelessMacBase::handleMessage (  cMessage *  msg  )  [protected]

Called every time a message arrives. { if (msg->arrivalGateId()==uppergateIn) handleUpperMsg(msg); else if (msg->isSelfMessage()) handleSelfMsg(msg); else handleLowerMsg(msg); }

virtual void WirelessMacBase::handleSelfMsg (  cMessage *  msg  )  [protected, pure virtual]

Handle self messages such as timers. Implemented in CSMAMacLayer, and Mac80211.

virtual void WirelessMacBase::handleUpperMsg (  cMessage *  msg  )  [protected, pure virtual]

Handle messages from upper layer. Implemented in CSMAMacLayer, and Mac80211.

void WirelessMacBase::initialize (  int   )  [protected, virtual]

Initialization of the module and some variables. Reimplemented in CSMAMacLayer, and Mac80211. { if (stage==0) { uppergateIn = findGate("uppergateIn"); uppergateOut = findGate("uppergateOut"); lowergateIn = findGate("lowergateIn"); lowergateOut = findGate("lowergateOut"); // get a pointer to the NotificationBoard module nb = NotificationBoardAccess().get(); } }

void WirelessMacBase::sendDown (  cMessage *  msg  )  [protected]

Sends a message to the lower layer. { EV << "sending down " << msg << "\n"; send(msg, lowergateOut); }

void WirelessMacBase::sendUp (  cMessage *  msg  )  [protected]

Sends a message to the upper layer. { EV << "sending up " << msg << "\n"; send(msg, uppergateOut); }
