Cell Size
:
• To balance transmit Power and receive sensitivity at both the ends (END-A and END-B)
of a WDS link, WDS Optimization Mode should be enabled.
• 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 (See WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Mode), that
enables the user to balance the transmit power at both the ends (END-A and END-B) of a
WDS link. To configure, select Enable or Disable from the drop down menu.
:
• If WDS optimization mode is enabled, WDS Cell Size Functionality is applied. (See
WDS Cell Size Functionality)
• If WDS optimization mode is disabled, 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
In case of 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.
Data tabulated below are the details that explain the WDS
Cell Size Functionality for different Cell Sizes.
* Maximum transmit power depends on the selected frequency
domain and type of radio card.
