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 6 GHz band includes radio frequencies from 5.925 GHz to 7.125 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, 802.11ac, 802.11ax, and 802.11be radio modes. 802.11be operates on the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, with the mode operating on the 2.4 GHz band called 802.11gbe, mode operating on the 5 GHz band called 802.11abe, and the mode operating on the 6 GHz band called 802.11be.

H3C defines an 802.11gax radio mode that enables 802.11ax radios to use the 2.4 GHz band and defines an 802.11eax radio mode that enables 802.11ax radios to use the 6 GHz band.

NOTE:

In this document, the term "802.11ax" refers to 802.11ax, 802.11gax, and 802.11eax, and the term "802.11be" refers to 802.11be, 802.11abe, and 802.11gbe, unless otherwise specified.

‌

Table 1 provides a comparison of these radio modes.

Table 1 Comparison of 802.11 standards

IEEE standard	Frequency band	Maximum rate
802.11a	5 GHz	54 Mbps
802.11b	2.4 GHz	11 Mbps
802.11g	2.4 GHz	54 Mbps
802.11n	2.4 GHz or 5 GHz	600 Mbps

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.

The 6 GHz band offers a total bandwidth of 1200 MHz, which can be divided into 59 channels with a width of 20 MHz, 29 channels with a width of 40 MHz, 14 channels with a width of 80 MHz, 7 channels with a width of 160 MHz, or 3 channels with a width of 320 MHz. This is twice as wide as the combined bandwidth of the previous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The increased bandwidth provides three times more available frequency spectrum for Wi-Fi applications, alleviating the current shortage of Wi-Fi spectrum resources.

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 and number of spatial streams. 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."

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

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

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.

HE-MCS

High Efficiency Modulation and Coding Scheme (HE-MCS) defined in IEEE 802.11ax determines the wireless data rates.

HE-MCS types

802.11ax HE-MCSs are classified into the following types:

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

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

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

HE-MCS parameters

An HE-MCS is identified by an HE-MCS index, which is represented by an integer in the range of 0 to 11. An HE-MCS index is the mapping from HE-MCS to a data rate.

802.11ax supports the 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, and 160 MHz (80+80 MHz) bandwidth modes, and supports a maximum of eight spatial streams. 802.11gax supports the 20 MHz and 40 MHz bandwidth modes.

EHT-MCS

EHT-MCS types

Similar to MCS, EHT-MCS is also divided into the following types: mandatory EHT-MCS set, supported EHT-MCS set, and multicast EHT-MCS set, each with the same meaning as MCS.

EHT-MCS parameters

An EHT-MCS is identified by an EHT-MCS index, which is represented by an integer in the range of 0 to 11. An EHT-MCS index is the mapping from EHT-MCS to a data rate.

802.11be supports the 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, 160 MHz, and 320 MHz bandwidth modes, and supports a maximum of 16 spatial streams.

Table 38 through Table 42 show HE-MCS parameters that are supported by an AP when only one spatial stream is available.

Currently, APs support up to four spatial streams, with rates equal to the EHT-MCS rate for a single spatial stream multiplied by the number of spatial streams.

OFDMA

802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in data transmission to enable a single user to transmit data on all subcarriers at a given period of time. Based on OFDM, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) splits a channel into sub-channels, known as resource units (RUs), with specific subcarriers (tones), and assigns different RUs to different users for simultaneous transmission. This increases the data rate and reduces transmission latency.

802.11ax uses OFDMA and reserves some null subcarriers to reduce inter-subcarrier interference on RUs.

Figure 1 OFDM and OFDMA working modes

‌

MU-MIMO

Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) splits bandwidth into individual streams to enable simultaneous receiving and transmission of data for multiple users. 802.11ac supports only downlink MU-MIMO with a maximum of 4 streams, and 802.11ax supports both uplink and downlink MU-MIMO with a maximum of 8 streams. This greatly improves data transmission efficiency.

· In downlink MU-MIMO, APs use beamforming to direct packets to wireless clients at different locations for the clients to receive data from an AP at the same time.

Figure 2 Downlink MU-MIMO

‌

· In uplink MU-MIMO, the system uses the orthogonality of different client locations to achieve spatial separation and beamforming exchanges are avoided.

Restrictions: Hardware compatibility with radio management

Support for the 6 GHz band depends on the AP model and local regulations.

Some tri-band APs support all three radios operating in the 5 GHz band (with radio 1 in 5.15 GHz to 5.35 GHz, radio 2 in 5.47 GHz to 5.85 GHz, and radio 3 in 5.15 GHz to 5.35 GHz or 5.47 GHz to 5.85 GHz). In this case, radio 3 is used only for scanning and is not recommended for service configuration.

Restrictions: Radio mode compatibility

According to the IEEE-defined 802.11 wireless network communication standard, the main radio modes from oldest to newest are 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax, and 802.11be. Unless otherwise specified, newly released radio modes are compatible with the functions of previous radio modes.

Specifying a working channel

About this task

Perform this task to reduce interference from both wireless and non-wireless devices. You can manually specify a channel or configure the system to automatically select a channel for a radio.

When radar signals are detected on the working channel of a radio, one of the following events occurs:

· If the channel is automatically assigned, the radio changes its channel.

· If the channel is manually specified, the radio changes its channel, and switches back to the specified channel after 30 minutes and then starts the quiet timer. If no radar signals are detected within the quiet time, the radio starts to use the channel. If radar signals are detected within the quiet time, the radio changes it channel again.

Setting MCS indexes

About this task

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 this task

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.

Procedure‌

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter radio interface view.

Specifying a MIMO mode

NOTE:

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

‌

About this task

Configuring 802.11ac functions

Setting NSSs

About this task

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.

Setting the 802.11ac bandwidth mode

About this task

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.

If the working channel is specified and the actual working bandwidth is 160 MHz, 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.

Configuring TxBF

About this task

Transmit beamforming (TxBF) enables an AP to adjust transmitting parameters based on the channel information to focus RF signals on intended clients. This feature improves the RF signal quality. TxBF includes single-user TxBF and multi-user TxBF.

· Single-user TxBF—Single-user TxBF enables an AP to improve the signal to one intended client. Single-user TxBF is applicable to WLANs that have widely spread clients, poor network quality, and serious signal attenuation.

· Multi-user TxBF—Multi-user TxBF is part of 802.11ac Wave2. Multi-user TxBF enables an AP to focus different RF signals on their intended clients to reduce interference and transmission delay. This improves traffic throughput and bandwidth usage. Multi-user TxBF is applicable to WLANs that have a large number of clients and require high bandwidth usage and low transmission delay.

Setting NSSs

About this task

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

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

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

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

Configuring TWT negotiation

About this task

Target Wake Time (TWT) negotiation enables clients and APs to exchange data packets only in service periods and schedules client hibernation to reduce client power consumption and wireless resource competition.

With TWT negotiation enabled, clients send negotiation requests that carry the service period, TWT interval, and first wake time (calculated by clients) to APs. Upon receiving such a request, an AP sends a response. Then, the clients wake up as scheduled and wait for trigger frames from that AP. Upon receiving a trigger frame, clients enter a service period and start to exchange data packets with that AP. When a service period expires, clients enter hibernation mode even if data packet exchange is not finished.

Restrictions and guidelines

A radio can provide the TWT service to a maximum of eight clients. After responding to the TWT negotiation requests of eight clients, the radio rejects the requests from the other clients.

This feature takes effect only on 802.11ax radios. Changing the radio mode to a non-802.11ax mode removes the configuration.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter radio interface view.

interface wlan-radio interface-number

3. Configure TWT negotiation.

twt negotiate { disable | enable }

The default setting varies by AP model.

Configure 802.11be functions

Setting NSSs

About this task

When an 802.11be client comes online, the system uses the MCS represented by the EHT-MCS index corresponding to the NSS to transmit the unicast data of the client.

When the multicast NSS is not configured, the system uses the multicast rate or the multicast MCS to transmit multicast data between the 802.11be client and the AP.

When the multicast NSS is configured and all clients are 802.11be clients, the AP and clients use the MCS represented by the EHT-MCS index to transmit multicast data.

Restrictions and guidelines

The multicast NSS must be less than or equal to the maximum mandatory NSS, and the maximum mandatory NSS must be less than or equal to the maximum supported NSS.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter radio interface view.

interface wlan-radio interface-number

3. Set the maximum mandatory NSS for 802.11be.

dot11be mandatory maximum-nss nss-number

By default, the maximum mandatory NSS is not set.

4. Set the maximum supported NSS for 802.11be.

dot11be support maximum-nss nss-number

By default, the maximum supported NSS is 8.

5. Set the multicast NSS and specify an EHT-MCS index for 802.11be.

dot11be multicast-nss nss-number eht-mcs index

By default, the multicast NSS is not set and the EHT-MCS index is not specified either.

Setting the 802.11be bandwidth mode

About this task

Compared with 802.11ax, 802.11be increases the channel bandwidth from a maximum of 160 MHz to a maximum of 320 MHz. 802.11be adopts the channel bandwidth allocation method from 802.11n, where larger bandwidth channels are obtained by merging adjacent channels. In 802.11be, two adjacent 20 MHz channels can be merged to form a 40 MHz channel, and 80 MHz and 160 MHz channels can also be merged in the same way.

By default, the default bandwidth mode is 80 MHz.

4. Set the 802.11abe bandwidth mode.

channel band-width { 20 | 40 | 80 | 160 }

Execute this command only for 5 GHz radios.

By default, the default bandwidth mode is 80 MHz.

5. Set the 802.11gbe bandwidth mode.

channel band-width { 20 | 40 [ auto-switch ] }

Execute this command only for 2.4 GHz radios.

By default, the default bandwidth mode is 20 MHz.

Configuring MRU

About this task

Multiple Resource Unit (MRU) is a technology that increases the spectral resource usage rate, mainly used in multi-user scenarios.

In Wi-Fi6 (802.11ax), each user can only use one RU. In Wi-Fi7 (802.11be), the concept of MRU is introduced to allow a single user to use multiple RUs. As shown in Figure 7, under the same bandwidth, MRU allows a single client to occupy multiple RUs simultaneously when data is being transmitted to two users at the same time. This improves spectral resource usage and reduces latency. In Wi-Fi 6, a single client can only use the single RU resource allocated to it, resulting in a waste of spectral resources.

Configuring preamble puncturing

About this task

The preamble puncturing technology enables data transmission using discontinuous channels to improve channel utilization efficiency. It is mainly used in scenarios with channel interference.

Without preamble puncturing, as shown in Figure 8, if the bandwidth mode is 80 MHz and interference is encountered on channel 56, the system uses the 20 MHz bandwidth mode instead for transmission. With preamble puncturing enabled, as shown in Figure 9, the interfered portion (channel 56) is punctured and shielded, and the remaining channels 52, 60, and 64 are bundled together for information transmission. Although the AP is still working in the 80 MHz bandwidth mode, the interfered channel is put in Null state (idle state) in actual transmission.

Preamble static puncturing refers to the software designating the puncturing positions based on the bandwidth mode and the position of the primary channel.

Disabling radar avoidance

About this task

Radar avoidance enables a radio to change its working channel or keep silent when radar signals are detected on the working channel, avoiding interference on radars. After 30 minutes, the radio switches back to the previous working channel or restarts transmission. If radar signals can still be detected, the radio changes its working channel or keeps silent again.

With radar avoidance disabled, radios continue to transmit or receive traffic on the working channels even if radar signals are detected on the channels.

Restrictions and guidelines

Disable radar avoidance only when you perform device debugging.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter radio interface view.

interface wlan-radio interface-number

3. Disable radar avoidance.

radar-detect disable

By default, radar avoidance is enabled.
