Extends:

BasePhyLayer (simple module)

Basic physical layer module. See the class "BasePhyLayer" documentation.

Known subclasses:

PhyLayerBattery (simple module)

Extends PhyLayer module with power consumption support

Used in compound modules:

If a module type shows up more than once, that means it has been defined in more than one NED file.

BaseNic (compound module)

This NIC implements an CSMA network interface card using the CSMAMacLayer module
Nic80211 (compound module)

This NIC implements an 802.11 network interface card.
NicCSMA (compound module)

This module implements a CSMA network interface card using the "csma" MAC layer module
PhyMacNic (compound module) (no description)
PhyMacNic (compound module) (no description)
