Parameter Description
Request Mode for
TSM Report
Request
Select one of the following request modes:
l normal
l triggered
This value is used to determine the request mode for the Transmit Stream/Category Meas-
urement Request frame. A Transmit Stream/Category Measurement Request frame can be
sent in either normal mode or triggered mode. There are two options for this parameter nor-
mal and triggered. When the triggered option is selected, the Transmit Stream/Category
Measurement Request frame is sent only when the trigger condition occurs. The default value
for this field is normal.
Number of repe-
titions
This value is used to set the "Number of Repetitions" field in the Transmit Stream/Category
Measurement Request frame. The Number of Repetitions field contains the requested num-
ber of repetitions for all the Measurement Request elements in this frame. A value of zero in
this field indicates Measurement Request elements are executed once without repetition. A
value of 65535 in the Number of Repetitions field indicates Measurement Request elements
are repeated until the measurement is cancelled or superseded. This field has values in the
range (0, 65535). The default value is 65535.
Duration Man-
datory
This value is used to set the "Duration Mandatory" bit of the Measurement Request Mode
field of the Transmit Stream/Category Measurement Request frame. The default value is
enabled.
Randomization
Interval
This value is used to set the Randomization Interval field in the Transmit Stream/Category
Measurement Request frame. The Randomization Interval is used to specify the desired max-
imum random delay in the measurement start time. It is expressed in units of TUs (Time
Units). When the request mode for the Transmit Stream/Category Measurement Request
frame is set to "triggered", the Randomization Interval is not used and is set to 0. A Ran-
domization Interval of 0 in a measurement request indicates that no random delay is to be
used. This field can be given a value in the range (0, 65535). The default value is 0.
Measurement Dur-
ation
This value is used to set the Measurement Duration field in the Transmit Stream/Category
Measurement Request frame. The Measurement Duration is set to the duration of the reques-
ted measurement. It is expressed in units of TUs. When the request mode for the Transmit
Stream/Category Measurement Request frame is set to triggered, the Measurement Dur-
ation field should be set to 0. This field can be given a value in the range (0, 65535). The
default value is 9776.
Traffic ID The value is used to set the Traffic Identifier field in the Transmit Stream/Category Meas-
urement Request frame. The Traffic Identifier field contains the TID subfield. The TID subfield
indicates the TC or TS for which traffic is to be measured. This field can be given a value in the
range (0, 255). The default value is 96
Bin 0 Range This value is used to set the 'Bin 0 Range' field in the Transmit Stream/Category Meas-
urement Request frame. Bin 0 Range indicates the delay range of the first bin (Bin 0) of the
Transmit Delay Histogram, expressed in units of TUs. This field can be given a value in the
range (0, 255). The default value is 6.
