Product Description 27
Link adaptation
Link adaptation is performed independently for each link for data traffic, and it is closed-loop based.
Adjusting the Tx modulation and coding scheme from MCS2 to MCS12 selected for transmission. It is
adjusted based on the following:
l Packet Error Ratio (PER),
l SNR,
l local measurements of successful and unsuccessful frame transmissions (e.g. count of frames
ACKed or Not ACKed).

Adjusting links
Start from MCS2, adjust based on signal quality, when the session is idle, fall back to MCS-9 or any
highest MCS achieved below MCS-9.
Synchronization
Synchronization is used to control the transmit and receive signals to prevent self-interference. Radios
assigned with the same polarity will be transmitting and receiving at the same time. There are two types
of polarities:
l Odd (if Odd nodes are Tx)
l Even (if Even nodes are Rx)
