Bug 2223

Summary:	Incorrect ACK timeout
Product:	ns-3	Reporter:	levente.meszaros
Component:	wifi	Assignee:	sebastien.deronne
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE
Severity:	normal	CC:	ns-bugs
Priority:	P5

Description levente.meszaros 2015-11-20 05:56:04 UTC

In the 802.11-2012 standard the ACK timeout value is calculated as (measured from txend): aSIFSTime + aSlotTime + aPHY-RX-START-Delay

In the current implementation the ACK timeout value is calculated as (see WifiMac::Configure80211* and MacLow::StartDataTxTimers): 

normal: sifs + acktx + slot + 2 * propagation
fast: pifs = sifs + slot
superfast: pifs = sifs + slot

It seems to me that all timeouts are different from what the standard says.
