  • Page 22 ACs. EDCA AP Parameters: The values of AIFS, CWmin, and CWmax are announced by the DPH650 via beacon frames. The DPH650 can adapt these parameters dynamically depending on the network conditions. Basically, the smaller AIFS and CWmin, the shorter the channel access delay for the corresponding priority, and hence the more capacity share for a given traffic condition.
  • Page 23 Configure the DPH650 EDCA STA Parameters: Each station maintains a Contention Window (CW), which is used to select the random back off counter. The BC is determined as a random integer drawn from a uniform distribution over the interval (0, CW). The CW size is initially assigned CWmin, and increases when a transmission fails, i.e., the transmitted data frame has not been acknowledged.
  • Page 24 Configure the DPH650 TXOPLimit: Allows multiple MAC frames consecutively as long as the whole transmission time does not exceed the TXOP limit. For delay-sensitive date, keep this limit larger. ACM: Admission Mandatory; could be turned on to mandatory execution of the contention control.
