Description sebastien.deronne 2018-02-18 14:27:29 UTC

I had started 802.11 PCF implementation few years ago, but then I had to pauze for priority reasons. I saw again some interests for having 802.11 PCF in ns-3 so I reworked my initial development. This has already been quite intensively tested by some people and myself.

Rietveld issue:
https://codereview.appspot.com/333660043/

Note that it does not introduce any regression, none of the PCF code is run if it is not enabled (disabled by default). As a result, I stay confident to have it merged in ns-3-dev quite soon, so that we can avoid continuous merge issues and start a new repository for HCCA.

Any comments are welcome. I do not pretend this is the best approach, so feel free to propose a different one, but I tried to minimize impacts in the current code.

N.B.: I still need to update the current patch set to include an example.

Patch set updated with an example

Comment 2 sebastien.deronne 2018-03-28 05:50:25 UTC

Now that the released is passed, I will merge with the latest ns-3-dev stream and I intend to push this early next week. This should not break anything since everything is protected by PcfSupported capability flags.

Comment 3 sebastien.deronne 2018-05-21 09:09:16 UTC

Code pushed in changeset 13557:1d9389d67836.
I still need to do some minor updates in the documentation.
