 * \brief a 802.11e-specific queue.
 *
 * This queue implements what is needed for the 802.11e standard
 * Specifically, it refers to 802.11e/D9, section 9.9.1.6, paragraph 6.
 *
 * When a packet is received by the MAC, to be sent to the PHY, 
 * it is queued in the internal queue after being tagged by the 
 * current time.
 *
 * When a packet is dequeued, the queue checks its timestamp 
 * to verify whether or not it should be dropped. If 
 * dot11EDCATableMSDULifetime has elapsed, it is dropped.
 * Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.
