To create a custom traffic model using the wnet.Traffic base class, follow these steps:

Implement the custom traffic subclass:
- Inherit from the wnet.Traffic base class. The class definition must have this format, where customTraffic is the name of your custom traffic class.
```
classdef customTraffic < wnet.Traffic
    ...
end
```
- Override the base class public methods generate and copy. You can override either one or both of these methods.
Save the class definition in an .m file.
In a simulation script, create an object of the myCustomTraffic class. Plug this custom traffic object into a wireless node, such as nrGNB (5G Toolbox), nrUE (5G Toolbox), bluetoothNode (Bluetooth Toolbox), bluetoothLENode (Bluetooth Toolbox), or wlanNode (WLAN Toolbox), using the addTrafficSource object function of the respective wireless node.
