Cell Size
:
• To balance the transmit Power and receive sensitivity at both the ends (END-A and
END-B), WDS Optimization Mode should be enabled for a WDS link.
• If the user wants to have AP cell size functionality applied, irrespective of the VAP
type, then the TPC value can be increased by using the TPCBackoff parameter.
WDS Optimization
Mode
Specifies the optimization mode of a WDS link (See WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
Mode), which enables the user to balance the transmit power at both the ends, END-A and
END-B.
To configure, select Enable or Disable from the drop down menu.
:
• If WDS optimization mode is enabled, the WDS Cell Size Functionality is applied.
(See WDS Cell Size Functionality)
• If WDS optimization mode is disabled, the AP Cell Size Functionality is applied. (See
AP Cell Size Functionality)
• When WDS Optimization Mode is enabled, WDS Cell Size Functionality is applied even
on the VAP enabled in AP mode.
WDS Cell Size
Functionality
For a WDS link (See WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
Mode), when the cell size is set from Large to Micro, Mini,
Small or Medium, the transmit power is retained to the
maximum value.
Tabulated below are the details that explain the WDS Cell
Size Functionality for different Cell Sizes.
* Maximum Transmit Power depends on the selected Fre-
quency Domain and the type of radio Card.
