Description Tommaso Pecorella 2017-02-04 09:04:27 UTC

The problem is discussed here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ns-3-users/4wwBYtA7BmY

By default Wi-Fi uses a LogDistancePropagationLossModel, whose parameters are set for 5.15 GHz.
If a user sets the propagation loss to Friis, that too is set to 5.15 GHz.
Now, the values might be right for 802.11a, but not for 802.11b/g.

Even if the propagation models are all but precise, especially in indoor cases, we should find a way to set the propagation loss models parameters to more correct values.

I agree, this was already discussed in bug 2122.
