How to enable/disable backoff for selected nodes in a wifi experiment

[Dara Jaiyeola]

Hi,

I started using NS3 this year and I need clarification on how I can disable backoff for a given node, while enabling it for other nodes, in the same experiment. I am running a 802.11ah experiment with the github code from imec-idlab.

My purpose for doing this is to create a node that doesn't obey protocol when it comes to channel sensing, and keeps sending packets irregardless of whether someone else is transmitting.

I want other nodes to obey protocol (backoff enabled) while this "bad" node disobeys protocol (backoff disabled).

I will appreciate any information on how I can achieve this.

Thank you.
