Total “Air Time”Policing “bandwidth” is not an efficient way to “split the pie” with WiFI

• Clients connect at different speeds• Poor SNR leads to retransmissions

Police usage on a time basis is the only way to guarantee that all party have access to the resources (time for data TX/RX) they are entitled to.

• Applies to Downstream only

• Dynamic Bandwidth Selection (DBS) makes Dynamic

Channel Assignment (DCA) easy

– Uses DCA metrics to select the best channel, regardless of width

– Calculates best channel/width using the following metrics:

• RF Neighbor Channel Widths

• OBSS Channel Overlap ratio

• Channel Utilization

• Non-Wi-Fi Noise

• Wi-Fi interference

Receiver Start of Packet Detection Threshold

(RX-SOP)

• Receiver Start of Packet Detection Threshold (RX-SOP) determines the Wi-Fi signal level in dBm at which an AP radio will demodulate and decode a packet.

• The higher the level, the less sensitive the radio and the smaller the receiver cell size.

Feature

• By reducing the cell size, you can address clients with weak RF link/ sticky clients and enable client load balancing across APs. Benefits

Optimize network performance at high-density deployments such as stadiums and auditoriums where APs need to optimize service for the nearest and strongest clients

Page 37: Cisco Enterprise Wireless novosti Radoslav Tsochev SMART ANTENNA PORT MODULE PORT in 3800 Series Self-Discover / Self-Configure Other Other PRIMARY ANTENNAS Potential Future Expandability

RX-SOP

RX-SOP benefits with reduction in cell size• Better re-utilization of

spectrum • More non- overlapping

channels that are separated logically from each other

• Reduced co-channel interference
