BreezeACCESS 4900 164 System Manual
4.2.6.5.1 RTS Threshold
The RTS Threshold parameter defines the minimum frame size that requires an
RTS/CTS (Request To Send/Clear To Send) handshake. Frames whose size is
smaller than the RTS Threshold value are transmitted directly to the wireless link
without being preceded with RTS frames. Setting this parameter to a value larger
than the maximum frame size eliminates the RTS/CTS handshake for frames
transmitted by this unit.
The available values range from 20 to 4092 bytes for units with HW revision C or
higher, and 20 to 2200 for units with HW revision A or B.
The default value is 60 bytes for SUs.
For AUs with HW revision C or higher, the default is 4092, and for AUs with HW
revision A or B the default is 2200. For AUs the default is 4092. It is
recommended that these values be used to ensure that RTS/CTS is never used in
the AU.
4.2.6.5.2 Minimum Contention Window
The Minimum Contention Window parameter determines the time that a unit
waits from the time it has concluded that there are no detectable transmissions by
other units until it attempts to transmit. The BreezeACCESS 4900 system uses a
special mechanism based on detecting the presence of a carrier signal and
analyzing the information contained in the transmissions of the AU to estimate
the activity of other SUs served by the AU. The target is to minimize collisions in
the wireless medium resulting from attempts of more than one unit to transmit at
the same time.
The system uses an exponential Back-off algorithm to resolve contention between
several units that want to access the wireless medium. The method requires each
station to choose a random number N between 0 and a given number C each time
it wants to access the medium. The unit will attempt to access the medium only
after a time equal to DIFS (for more details refer to “Arbitration Inter-Frame
Spacing (AIFS)” on page 127) plus N time slots, always checking if a different unit
has accessed the medium before. Each time the unit tries to transmit and a
collision occurs; the maximum number C used for the random number selection
will be increased to the next available value. The available values are 7, 15, 31,
63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023.
The Minimum Contention Window parameter is the first maximum number C
used in the back-off algorithm. The higher the number of SUs served by the same
AU, the higher the Minimum Contention Window for each SU should be. In
addition, when the Wireless Link Prioritization Option is enabled, the Minimum
and Maximum Contention Window parameters can be configured to provide
certain units with an advantage over other units.
