5.5.1 AP EDCA Parameters
AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters affect traffic flowing from the EAP
device to the client station.
Figure 5-30 AP EDCA Parameters
Queue:
Displays the transmission queues: Data 0>Data 1>Data 2>Data 3.
Arbitration Inter-
Frame Space:
A wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots. Valid values
for AIFS are from 1 to 15.
Minimum
Contention
Window:
An input to the algorithm that determines the initial random backoff wait
time (window) for retry of a transmission.
Maximum
Contention
Window:
The upper limit (in
milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff
value.
Maximum Burst
This parameter applies only to traffic flowing from EAP to the client station.
This value specifies (in milliseconds) the maximum burst length allowed for
packet bursts on the
wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of
multiple frames transmitted without header information. The decreased
overhead results in higher throughput and better performance. Valid values
for Maximum Burst are from 0 to 8192 and should be exactly divided by 32.
