DOT11_PHY_TYPE (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

This enumeration defines an 802.11 PHY and media type.

Syntax

typedef enum _DOT11_PHY_TYPE {
dot11_phy_type_unkown,
dot11_phy_type_any,
dot11_phy_type_fhss,
dot11_phy_type_dsss,
dot11_phy_type_irbaseband,
dot11_phy_type_ofdm,
dot11_phy_type_hrdsss,
dot11_phy_type_erp,
dot11_phy_type_ht,
dot11_phy_type_IHV_start,
dot11_phy_type_IHV_end
} DOT11_PHY_TYPE,
*PDOT11_PHY_TYPE;

Constants

• dot11_phy_type_unknown
  Specifies an unknown or uninitialized PHY type

• dot11_phy_type_any
  Specifies any PHY type

• dot11_phy_type_fhss
  Specifies a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) PHY. Bluetooth devices can use FHSS or an adaptation of FHSS

• dot11_phy_type_dsss
  Specifies a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) PHY type

• dot11_phy_type_irbaseband
  Ignored. Windows Embedded Compact 7 does not support infrared communication.

• dot11_phy_type_ofdm
  Specifies an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) PHY type. 802.11a devices can use OFDM

• dot11_phy_type_hrdsss
  Specifies a high-rate DSSS (HRDSSS) PHY type

• dot11_phy_type_erp
  Specifies an extended rate PHY type (ERP). 802.11g devices can use ERP

• dot11_phy_type_ht
  Specifies the 802.11n PHY type

• dot11_phy_type_IHV_start
  Specifies the start of the range that is used to define PHY types that are developed by an independent hardware vendor (IHV)

• dot11_phy_type_IHV_end
  Specifies the start of the range that is used to define PHY types that are developed by an independent hardware vendor (IHV)

Remarks

An IHV can assign a value for its proprietary PHY types from dot11_phy_type_IHV_start through dot11_phy_type_IHV_end. The IHV must assign a unique number from this range for each of its proprietary PHY types.
