RTS Threshold Specifies the size of the data packet that the low-level RF protocol
issues to a request-to-send (RTS) packet.
Setting this parameter to a small value causes RTS packets to be sent
more often. When this occurs, more of the available bandwidth is
consumed and the throughput of other network packets is reduced, but
the system is able to recover faster from interference or collisions,
which can be caused from a high multipath environment characterized
by obstructions or metallic surfaces.
Range: 0 to 2312
Default: 2312
Note Refer to the IEEE 802.11 standard for more information on the
RTS/CTS mechanism.
RTS Retry Limit Specifies the number of times the client adapter resends a
request-to-send (RTS) packet if it does not receive a clear-to-send
(CTS) packet from the previously sent RTS packet.
Setting this parameter to a large value decreases the available
bandwidth whenever interference is encountered but makes the system
more immune to interference and collisions, which can be caused
from a high multipath environment characterized by obstructions or
metallic surfaces.
Range: 1 to 128
Default: 16
Note Refer to the IEEE 802.11 standard for more information on the
RTS/CTS mechanism.
Wake Duration (Kmus) Specifies the amount of time following a beacon that the client adapter
stays awake to receive announcement traffic indication message
(ATIM) packets, which are sent to the adapter to keep it awake until
the next beacon.
Range: 5 to 60 Kmus
Default: 5 Kmus
Note Kmus is a unit of measurement in software terms. K = 1024,
mu = 10
-6
, and s = seconds, so Kmus = .001024 seconds, 1.024
milliseconds, or 1024 microseconds.
Beacon Period (Kmus) Specifies the duration between beacon packets, which are used to help
clients find each other in ad hoc mode.
Range: 20 to 976 Kmus
Default: 100 Kmus
