3.5 “Advanced”
There are Preamble Type, Fragmentation Threshold, and RTS/CTS Threshold setting
under this mode.
u Preamble Type (Short/Long): Preamble is the first subfield of PPDU, which is the
appropriate frame format for transmission to PHY (Physical layer). There are two
options, Short Preamble and Long Preamble. The Short Preamble option improves
throughput performance.
u Fragmentation Threshold: The size at which packets will be fragmented. Choose a
setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes.
u RTS Threshold: Minimum packet size to require an RTS (Request To Send). For
packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted
directly to the WLAN. This is the option for the RTS Threshold activation.
