Handoff logic and rate adaptation settings
CAUTION
The following settings are intended for use by qualified network
engineers. Do not change these settings unless there is a
specific need to do so.
For detailed information on how to set Handoff logic and Rate
adaptation, refer to the Fluidmesh Networks Fluidity
Configuration Manual.
The Handoff Logic setting controls the unit's choice of infrastructure point
with which to connect. Select the correct handoff logic setting for the unit
by clicking the Handoff Logic: drop-down and clicking the correct option
from the list below:
• Standard: The unit connects to the transceiver providing the
strongest signal.
• Load Balancing: The unit connects to the transceiver that provides
the most suitable balance between signal strength and the amount
of traffic presently being carried.
• Allow V2V: in cases where a vehicle-mounted unit is not able to
communicate directly with an infrastructure point, this setting allows
data traffic to be routed from the source vehicle through a second
vehicle to an infrastructure point.
IMPORTANT
If the Allow V2V setting is chosen, note the following
points:
• Ad hoc communication (in other words,
communication between vehicle radio units that
bypasses infrastructure radio units) is not
supported.
• A maximum of two hops are allowed (for
example, vehicle-to-vehicle-to-infrastructure).
The Rate Adaptation setting controls the unit's choice of modulation
coding and speed of packet transmission. Select the correct rate
adaptation setting for the unit by clicking the Rate Adaptation: drop-down
and clicking the correct option from the list below:
• Standard: This option applies a standard reactive rate selection as
used by WiFi access points.
• Advanced: This option applies Fluidmesh's proprietary predictive
rate selection algorithm.
Save the Fluidity settings by clicking the Save button. Alternatively, clear
the settings by clicking the Reset button.
