OID_DOT11_RTS_THRESHOLD (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This object identifier indicates the number of octets in an MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU), below which an RTS/CTS handshake is not performed.

An RTS/CTS handshake is performed at the beginning of any frame exchange sequence where the MPDU is of type Data or Management, the MPDU has an individual address in the Address1 field, and the length of the MPDU is greater than this threshold. For additional details, refer to Table 21 in 9.7 of IEEE Std 802.11-1997.

Setting this object identifier to be larger than the maximum MSDU size has the effect of turning off the RTS/CTS handshake for frames of Data or Management type transmitted by this STA.

Setting this object identifier to zero has the effect of turning on the RTS/CTS handshake for all frames of Data or Management type transmitted by this STA. The default value of this object identifier is 2347.
