   include “ns3/network-module.h”
   include “ns3/applications-module.h”
   include “ns3/mobility-module.h”
   include “ns3/stats-module.h”
   include “ns3/wifi-module.h”

7. WiFi module files

   Wifi module file for the wifi script based on the wscript file.

8. Wscript file

   wscript file for the wifi module based on the wscript file , we link and build the specified files and call from our main execution file.
