14. Itai Novitarger & David Haloni14 MAC & Physical layers (1) 赳 Transmit packets queued inside the transmission queues. 赳 Based on TDMA media access control. 赳 Support changing transmission rates: ♠ Get the packets from the relevant queue according to the current transmission rate. ♠ Constant transmission time slot.

15. Itai Novitarger & David Haloni15 赳 ‘ Listen ’ to the radio network & capture relevant packets. 赳 Transfer packets into reception queues. 赳 Update current transmission rate according to an external file. MAC & Physical layers (2)

17. Itai Novitarger & David Haloni17 Reception Queue 赳 A single active queue, consists of infinite number of sub-queues. 赳 Each sub-queue accommodates packets associated to a specific incoming message. 赳 Fragmentation layer receives sub-queues status updates when packets arrive from the MAC layer. 赳 Forwards packets accommodated inside a specific sub-queue, in response to fragmentation layer request. 赳 Sub-queues are flushed when their TIMEOUT counter expires.

22. Itai Novitarger & David Haloni22 赳 Simulation Statistics : ♠ Fragmentation Disassemble Time –  Based on the average number of packets divided from a single message, according to the transmitter point of view. ♠ Fragmentation Reassemble Time –  Based on the average number of packets associated to a single message, according to the receiver point of view. ♠ Fragmentation Rate –  Based on the division between the number of messages which has been splited to those which hasn ’ t.
