802.11ad / 60GHz technologies in ns-3

[Daniel Costa]

Hello guys,

Im working on 802.11ad (60Ghz) and I already implemented a few things, and I need some help on MAC, but before that i wanted to ask one thing:

I added my rates and mcs on yans-wifi-phy.cc as an example bellow:

  m_channelStartingFrequency = 60e3;  //60.000 GHz

  SetChannelWidth (2160); //2160 MHz

  m_deviceRateSet.push_back (WifiPhy::GetOfdmRate7Gbps ());

  m_deviceMcsSet.push_back (WifiPhy::GetVhtMcs13_OFDM ());

.....

I was just wondering if I really can use 7Gbps since i have to setup deviceRate and deviceMcs.

My second question is, can i istill use "VhtWifiMacHelper" and "ns3::StaWifiMac" "ns3::ApWifiMac"?

This is the error im getting atm because 802.11ac vht can only use till mcs8:

assert failed. cond="mcs >= 7 && mcs <= 9", file=../src/wifi/model/vht-capabilities.cc, line=273

My code is avaiable at: https://github.com/danieldcosta/802.11ad

Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks.
