Aggregation: It enables several data frames of 802.11 to be aggregated and transmitted out, thus improve the throughput. The larger the set value, the higher the throughput.

TDMA

Currently, most of the outdoor bridge products are developed based on 802.11 protocols, however, it has the limitations of short-distance, hidden node problems, and poor point-to-multi-point performance.

VTrans technologies utilizes a series of advanced technologies such as TDMA, intelligent rate control, Auto ACK Time-out Adjust, having the advantage of long transmission range, high date rate and robust transmission.

VTrans technology solves the problems of hidden-node problem in the 802.11 network infra-structure. Intelligent rate control algorithm can be adapted to quick channel quality variations, while stabilize the wireless throughput, thus suitable for long-distance transmission. ACK Time-out Auto Adjust can automatically detect the distances of the devices, and adjust the wireless parameters to achieve the best link quality.

DS-3WF01C-2N User Manual

27

To use the TDMA, the user needs to enable TDMA mode in the AP device, and set a priority level in the station device. When several stations are connected to one AP, different stations demand different throughput. If the station demands higher throughput, its priority level can be set to High, otherwise set to Low. When the client demands the same throughput, their priority level can be set to the same level.

When using TDMA mode, the TDMA button need to be enabled at AP devices in the web-based configuration menu. The devices from other vendors cannot be connected to DS-3WF01C-2N in the TDMA mode. When TDMA is enabled, your phone or laptop cannot be able to connect to the device.

Auto ACK-Timeout AdjustIt is suggested to enable this function, so that the distance between 2

devices can be detected and all the related parameters can be optimized to achieve the best link quality.

IGMP snooping: The device analyzes the received IGMP messages to establish a mapping relationship between the port and the MAC multicast address, and forwards the multicast data according to the mapping relationship. When the device is not running IGMP snooping, the multicast data is broadcast on Layer 2. After the device runs IGMP Snooping, the multicast data is not broadcast on Layer 2 and is multicast to the specified receiver on Layer 2.

802.11k: 802.11k provides a standard for how wireless LANs should perform channel selection, roaming services, and transmission power control. It provides wireless resource management, allowing the frequency band, channel, carrier and other flexible and dynamic adjustment and scheduling, so that the limited frequency band can be improved in overall application efficiency. Within a wireless LAN, each device is typically connected to an access point that provides the strongest signal. This management can sometimes lead to excessive demand for one access point and reduce the utilization of other access points, resulting in lower performance of the entire network, which is mainly determined by the number of access users and geographical location. In a network that complies with the 802.11k specification, if the access point with the strongest signal is loaded with its maximum capacity and a wireless device is connected to a lower utilization access point, in this case even its signal it may be weak, but the overall throughput is still relatively large, because network resources are used more efficiently.

BSS transition Management: Migration management between basic service sets.
