#ifndef WIFI_MAC_QUEUE_H
#define WIFI_MAC_QUEUE_H

/* 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. If the queue is non-Empty (quite likely), we
 * notify m_packetNotify. This information is forwarded to 
 * The associated MacLow80211 which might try to dequeue packets
 * from this queue if it is not doing anything else more important.
 *
 * If it is doing something too important to handle new packets,
 * the MacLow80211 is supposed to try to dequeue packets the next 
 * time it can.
 *
 * 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.
