2 If first transmission trial has failed, the frame will be retransmitted at the
same modulation level up to the maximum number of retransmission
attempts defined by the Number of HW Retries parameter.
The Adaptive Modulation Parameters menu includes the following parameters:
4.2.6.5.9.1 Adaptive Modulation Option
The Adaptive Modulation Option enables or disables the Adaptive Modulation
decision algorithm. When enabled, the algorithm supports decrease/increase of
transmission’s modulation levels between the lowest possible level to the value
configured for the Maximum Modulation Level parameter. If the Maximum
Modulation Level is set at the lowest possible level, the Adaptive Modulation
algorithm has no effect.
The default selection is Enable.
4.2.6.5.9.2 Minimum Interval Between Adaptive Modulation Messages
The Minimum Interval Between Adaptive Modulation Messages sets the minimum
interval between two consecutive adaptive modulation messages, carrying
information on the SNR of received signals. The messages in the AU include SNR
information on all the SUs associated with it.
The available range is from 1 to 3600 seconds.
The default is 4 seconds.
4.2.6.5.9.3 Adaptive Modulation Decision Thresholds
Enables selection between Normal and High decision thresholds for the Adaptive
Modulation algorithm. In links with a low SNR (below 13), the Adaptive
Modulation algorithm may not stabilize on the correct modulation level when
using the standard decision thresholds. In this case the algorithm may try to use
a modulation level that is too high, resulting in a relatively large number of
dropped frames. The “High” option solves this limitation and ensures good
performance also in links with a low SNR.
The default is Normal.
4.2.6.5.10 Concatenation Parameters
The Concatenation mechanism enables bundling several data frames into a single
frame for transmission to the wireless link. This feature improves throughput and
reduces the overhead in the wireless medium, by requiring only one CRC for each
concatenated frame, one RTS/CTS cycle if applicable, and a single waiting period
according to the contention window mechanism before transmission. When
concatenation is enabled, data packets in the queue of the internal bridge can be
accumulated before the concatenated frame is transmitted to the wireless
medium. Data frames can be accumulated up to a maximum frame size of 2200
bytes for units with HW revision A or B, or 4032 bytes for units with HW revision
