Guard Interval

Set the guard interval for this radio profile to either short or long.

 

The guard interval is the gap introduced between data transmission

 

from users in order to reduce interference. Reducing the interval

 

increases data transfer rates but also increases interference.

 

Increasing the interval reduces data transfer rates but also reduces

 

interference.
