Field

 

Description

 

 

AIFS

 

The Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS) specifies a wait time (in

 

 

(Inter-Frame Space)

 

milliseconds) for data frames.

 

 

 

Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For more information, see “EDCA Control of Data Frames and

 

 

 

 

Arbitration Interframe Spaces”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cwMin

 

This parameter is input to the algorithm that determines the initial

 

 

(Minimum Contention

 

random backoff wait time ("window") for retry of a transmission.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Window)

 

The value specified here in the Minimum Contention Window is the

 

 

 

 

upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random

 

 

 

 

backoff wait time is determined.

 

 

 

 

The first random number generated will be a number between 0 and

 

 

 

 

the number specified here.

 

 

 

 

If the first random backoff wait time expires before the data frame is

 

 

 

 

sent, a retry counter is incremented and the random backoff value

 

 

 

 

(window) is doubled. Doubling will continue until the size of the

 

 

 

 

random backoff value reaches the number defined in the Maximum

 

 

 

 

Contention Window.

 

 

 

 

Valid values for the "cwmin" are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or

 

 

 

1023.

 

 

 

 

For more information, see “Random Backoff and Minimum / Maximum

 

 

 

 

Contention Windows”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cwMax

 

The value specified here in the Maximum Contention Window is the

 

 

 

 

upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff

 

 

(Maximum Contention

 

value. This doubling continues until either the data frame is sent or the

 

 

Window)

 

Maximum Contention Window size is reached.

 

 

 

 

Once the Maximum Contention Window size is reached, retries will

 

 

 

 

continue until a maximum number of retries allowed is reached.

 

 

 

 

Valid values for the "cwmax" are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or

 

 

 

1023.
