Configuring radio management

About radio management

Radio frequency (RF) is a rate of electrical oscillation in the range of 300 KHz to 300 GHz. WLAN uses the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band radio frequencies as the transmission media. The 2.4 GHz band includes radio frequencies from 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz. The 5 GHz band includes radio frequencies from 5.150 GHz to 5.350 GHz and from 5.725 GHz to 5.850 GHz.

The term "radio frequency" or its abbreviation RF is also used as a synonym for "radio" in wireless communication.

Radio mode

IEEE defines the 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac radio modes. H3C defines an 802.11gac radio mode that enables 802.11ac radios to use the 2.4 GHz band.

 

 

NOTE:

·      802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac are backward compatible.

·      The term "802.11ac" in this document includes 802.11gac unless otherwise specified.

 

Table 1 provides a comparison of these radio modes.

Channel

A channel is a range of frequencies with a specific bandwidth.

The 2.4 GHz band has 14 channels. The bandwidth for each channel is 20 MHz and each two channels are spaced 5 MHz apart. Among the 14 channels, four groups of non-overlapping channels exist and the most commonly used one contains channels 1, 6, and 11.

The 5 GHz band can provide higher rates and is more immune to interference. There are 24 non-overlapping channels designated to the 5 GHz band. The channels are spaced 20 MHz apart with a bandwidth of 20 MHz. The available channels vary by country.

Transmit power

Transmit power reflects the signal strength of a wireless device. A higher transmit power enables a radio to cover a larger area but it brings more interference to adjacent devices. The signal strength decreases as the transmission distance increases.

Transmission rate

Transmission rate refers to the speed at which wireless devices transmit traffic. It varies by radio mode and spreading, coding, and modulation schemes. The following are rates supported by different types of radios:

·          802.11a—6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 Mbps.

·          802.11b—1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps.

·          802.11g—1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 Mbps.

·          802.11n—Rates for 802.11n radios vary by channel bandwidth. For more information, see "MCS."

·          802.11ac—Rates for 802.11ac radios vary by channel bandwidth and number of spatial streams (NSS). For more information, see "VHT-MCS."

MCS

Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) defined in IEEE 802.11n-2009 determines the modulation, coding, and number of spatial streams.

MCS types

802.11n MCSs are classified into the following types:

·          Mandatory MCSs—Mandatory MCSs for an AP. To associate with an 802.11n AP, a client must support the mandatory MCSs for the AP.

·          Supported MCSs—MCSs supported by an AP besides the mandatory MCSs. If a client supports both mandatory and supported MCSs, the client can use a supported rate to communicate with the AP.

·          Multicast MCS—MCS for the rate at which an AP transmits multicast frames.

MCS parameters

An MCS is identified by an MCS index, which is represented by an integer in the range of 0 to 76. An MCS index is the mapping from MCS to a data rate.

Table 2 through Table 9 show sample MCS parameters for 20 MHz and 40 MHz.

When the bandwidth mode is 20 MHz, MCS indexes 0 through 15 are mandatory for APs, and MCS indexes 0 through 7 are mandatory for clients.

NOTE:

·      For all the MCS data rate tables, see IEEE 802.11n-2009.

·      Support for MCS indexes depends on the device model.

VHT-MCS

Very High Throughput Modulation and Coding Scheme (VHT-MCS) defined in IEEE 802.11ac determines the wireless data rates.

VHT-MCS types

802.11ac VHT-MCSs are classified into the following types:

·          Mandatory VHT-MCSs—Mandatory VHT-MCSs for an AP. To associate with an 802.11ac AP, a client must support the mandatory VHT-MCSs for the AP.

·          Supported VHT-MCSs—VHT-MCSs supported by an AP besides the mandatory VHT-MCSs. If a client supports both mandatory and supported VHT-MCSs, the client can use a supported rate to communicate with the AP.

·          Multicast VHT-MCS—VHT-MCS for the rate at which an AP transmits multicast frames.

VHT-MCS parameters

A VHT-MCS is identified by a VHT-MCS index, which is represented by an integer in the range of 0 to 9. A VHT-MCS index is the mapping from VHT-MCS to a data rate.

802.11ac supports the 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, and 160 MHz bandwidth modes, and supports a maximum of eight spatial streams. 802.11gac supports the 20 MHz and 40 MHz bandwidth modes.

Table 10 through Table 21 show VHT-MCS parameters that are supported by an AP.

Setting transmission rates

About transmission rates

Transmission rates are classified into the following types:

·          Prohibited rates—Rates that cannot be used by an AP.

·          Mandatory rates—Rates that the clients must support to associate with an AP.

·          Supported rates—Rates that an AP supports. After a client associates with an AP, the client can select a higher rate from the supported rates to communicate with the AP. The AP automatically decreases or increases the transmission rate as interference signals, retransmission packets, or dropped packets increase or decrease.

·          Multicast rate—Rate at which an AP transmits multicasts and broadcasts. The multicast rate must be selected from the mandatory rates.

Specifying a collision avoidance mode

About collision avoidance modes

Wireless devices operate in half duplex mode and cannot send and receive data simultaneously. To avoid collision, 802.11 allows wireless devices to send Request to Send (RTS) or Clear to Send (CTS) packets before they transmit data.

You can specify either of the following collision avoidance modes for an AP:

·          RTS/CTS—An AP sends an RTS packet to a client before sending data to the client. After receiving the RTS packet, the client sends a CTS packet to the AP. The AP begins to send data after receiving the CTS packet, and other devices that detect the RTS or CTS packet do not send data within a specific time period.

·          CTS-to-self—An AP sends a CTS packet with its own MAC address as the destination MAC address before sending data to a client. After receiving the CTS-to-self packet, the AP begins to send data, and other devices that detect the CTS-to-self packet do not send data within a specific time period. The CTS-to-self mode reduces the transmission time but might result in hidden node problems.

To ensure wireless resource efficiency, collision avoidance takes effect only when the following conditions are met:

·          The size of the packets to be sent is larger than the RTS threshold 2346 bytes.

·          802.11g or 802.11n protection is enabled. For more information about 802.11g or 802.11n protection, see "Configuring 802.11g protection" and "Configuring 802.11n protection."

protection-mode { cts-to-self | rts-cts }

By default:

¡  In radio view, a radio uses the configuration in an AP group's radio view.

¡  In an AP group's radio view, the CTS-to-self mode is used.

Setting the RTS threshold

About setting the RTS threshold

802.11 allows wireless devices to send Request to Send (RTS) or Clear to Send (CTS) packets to avoid collision. However, excessive RTS and CTS packets consume system resources and reduce transmission efficiency. You can set an RTS threshold to resolve this problem. The system performs collision avoidance only for packets larger than the RTS threshold.

Restrictions and guidelines

In a low-density WLAN, increase the RTS threshold to improve the network throughput and efficiency. In a high-density WLAN, decrease the RTS threshold to reduce collisions in the network.

Procedure

1.        Enter system view.

system-view

2.        Enter AP view or an AP group's AP model view.

By default:

¡  In radio view, a radio uses the configuration in an AP group's radio view.

¡  In an AP group's radio view, the RTS threshold is 2346 bytes.

Setting the fragmentation threshold

About setting the fragmentation threshold

Frames larger than the fragmentation threshold are fragmented before transmission. Frames smaller than the fragmentation threshold are transmitted without fragmentation.

When a fragment is not received, only this fragment rather than the whole frame is retransmitted.

Restrictions and guidelines

In a WLAN with great interference, decrease the fragmentation threshold and set the MTU (ip mtu command) of packets sent over the radio to be lower than the fragmentation threshold. This improves the network throughput and efficiency.

¡  In an AP group's radio view, the fragmentation threshold is 2346 bytes.

Setting the hardware retransmission limits

About the hardware retransmission limits

In wireless networks, unicast packets require acknowledgements. If a radio fails to receive the acknowledgement for a packet, it retransmits the packet.

You can set hardware retransmission limits for both large frames and small frames. Transmitting large frames requires a large buffer size and a long time because the system performs collision avoidance for large frames before transmission. Therefore, you can set a small hardware retransmission limit for large frames to save system buffer and transmission time.

Procedure

¡  In an AP group's radio view, a radio accepts 802.11b clients.

Configuring 802.11g protection

About 802.11g protection

When both 802.11b and 802.11g clients exist in a WLAN, transmission collision might occur because they use different modulation modes. 802.11g protection can avoid such collision. It enables 802.11g, 802.11n, or 802.11ac devices to send RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self packets to inform 802.11b clients to defer access to the medium. For more information about RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self, see "Specifying a collision avoidance mode."

802.11g, 802.11n, or 802.11ac devices send RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self packets before sending data only when 802.11b signals are detected on the channel.

802.11g protection automatically takes effect when 802.11b clients associate with an 802.11g, 802.11n (2.4 GHz), or 802.11gac AP.

About the maximum transmission distance

The strength of wireless signals gradually degrades as the transmission distance increases. The maximum transmission distance of wireless signals depends on the surrounding environment and on whether an external antenna is used.

·          Without an external antenna—About 300 meters (984.25 ft).

·          With an external antenna—30 km (18.64 miles) to 50 km (31.07 miles).

·          In an area with obstacles—35 m (114.83 ft) to 50 m (164.04 ft).

Setting MCS indexes

About MCS indexes

802.11n clients use the rate corresponding to the MCS index to send unicast frames. 802.11a/b/g clients use the 802.11a/b/g rate to send unicast frames.

If you do not set a multicast MCS index, 802.11n clients and the AP use the 802.11a/b/g multicast rate to send multicast frames. If you set a multicast MCS index, one of following events occurs:

·          The AP and clients use the rate corresponding to the multicast MCS index to send multicast frames if only 802.11n and 802.11ac clients exist.

·          The AP and clients use the 802.11a/b/g multicast rate to send multicast frames if any 802.11a/b/g clients exist.

When you set the maximum mandatory or supported MCS index, you are specifying a range. For example, if you set the maximum mandatory MCS index to 5, rates corresponding to MCS indexes 0 through 5 are configured as 802.11n mandatory rates.

Restrictions and guidelines

The multicast MCS index cannot be greater than the maximum mandatory MCS index.

The maximum supported MCS index cannot be smaller than the maximum mandatory MCS index.

Setting the 802.11n bandwidth mode

About 802.11n bandwidth modes

802.11n uses the channel structure of 802.11a/b/g, but it increases the number of data subchannels in each 20 MHz channel to 52. This improves data transmission rate.

802.11n binds two adjacent 20 MHz channels to form a 40 MHz channel (one primary channel and one secondary channel). This provides a simple way to double the data rate.

If the current channel of a radio does not support the specified bandwidth mode, the radio clears the channel configuration and selects another channel.

If the bandwidth mode is set to 40 MHz, the radio uses the 40 MHz bandwidth if two adjacent channels that can be bound together exist. If there are no adjacent channels that can be bound together, the radio uses the 20 MHz bandwidth.

Only 802.11gn radios support the auto-switch keyword.

Specifying a MIMO mode

 

NOTE:

The number of spatial streams supported by a radio varies by AP model.

About MIMO modes

A radio can operate in one of the following MIMO modes:

·          1x1—Sends and receives wireless signals through one spatial stream.

·          2x2—Sends and receives wireless signals through two spatial streams.

·          3x3—Sends and receives wireless signals through three spatial streams.

Configuring 802.11n protection

About 802.11n protection

When both 802.11n and non-802.11n clients exist in a WLAN, transmission collision might occur because they use different modulation modes. 802.11n protection can avoid such collision. It enables 802.11n devices to send RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self packets to inform non-802.11n clients to defer access to the medium. For more information about RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self, see "Specifying a collision avoidance mode."

802.11n devices send RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self packets before sending data only when non-802.11n signals are detected on the channel.

802.11n protection automatically takes effect when non-802.11n clients associate with an 802.11n AP.

·      802.11ac functions are applicable only to 802.11ac and 802.11gac radios.

Setting NSSs

About NSSs

If the AP supports an NSS, it supports all VHT-MCS indexes for the NSS. 802.11ac clients use the rate corresponding to the VHT-MCS index for the NSS to send unicast frames. Non-802.11ac clients use the 802.11a/b/g/n rate to send unicast frames.

If you do not set a multicast NSS, 802.11ac clients and the AP use the 802.11a/b/g/n multicast rate to send multicast frames. If you set a multicast NSS and specify a VHT-MCS index, the following situations occur:

·          The AP and clients use the rate corresponding to the VHT-MCS index to send multicast frames if all clients are 802.11ac clients.

·          The AP and clients use the 802.11a/b/g/n multicast rate to send multicast frames if any non-802.11ac clients exist.

The maximum mandatory NSS or supported NSS determines a range of 802.11 rates. For example, if the maximum mandatory NSS is 5, rates corresponding to VHT-MCS indexes for NSSs 1 through 5 will be 802.11ac mandatory rates.

Restrictions and guidelines

Setting the 802.11ac bandwidth mode

About 802.11ac bandwidth modes

802.11ac uses the channel structure of 802.11n and increases the maximum bandwidth from 40 MHz to 160 MHz. 802.11ac can bind two adjacent 20/40/80 MHz channels to form a 40/80/160 MHz channel.

The radio uses the specified 40/80/160 MHz bandwidth if adjacent channels can be bound to form a 40/80/160 channel. If adjacent channels cannot form a 40/80/160 channel, the radio uses the next available bandwidth less than the specified one.

For example, the bandwidth mode is set to 80 MHz. The radio uses the 80 MHz bandwidth if adjacent channels that can be bound together exist. If adjacent channels that can be bound to an 80 MHz channel do not exist, but two adjacent channels that can be bound to a 40 MHz channel exist, the 40 MHz bandwidth is used. If no adjacent channels that can be bound together exist, the radio uses the 20 MHz bandwidth.

When the bandwidth mode is set to 80+80 MHz, the radio uses the 160 MHz bandwidth if two adjacent 80 MHz channels that can be bound together exist. If a 160 MHz channel cannot be formed but two non-adjacent 80 MHz channels are available, the radio uses the two 80 MHz channels to achieve the 160 MHz bandwidth.

If the working channel is specified, you can specify the secondary 80 MHz channel for the 160 MHz or 80+80 MHz bandwidth mode. If no working channel is specified, the device automatically selects a secondary channel. The working channel forwards all packets and the secondary channel forwards only data packets.

If the current channel of a radio does not support the specified bandwidth mode, the radio clears the channel configuration and selects another channel.

 

 

NOTE:

Support for the 160 MHz and 80+80 MHz bandwidth modes depends on the device model.
