4 Wireless Configuring Quality of Service (QoS) Table 24 QoS Parameters (Continued) Field Description AIFS The Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS) specifies a (Inter-Frame Space) wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots. Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255. cwMin This parameter is input to the algorithm that determines the (Minimum initial random backoff wait time (window) for retry of a Contention Window) transmission. The value specified for Minimum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random backoff wait time is determined. The first random number generated will be a number between 0 and the number specified here. If the first random backoff wait time expires before the data frame is sent, a retry counter is incremented and the random backoff value (window) is doubled. Doubling will continue until the size of the random backoff value reaches the number defined in the Maximum Contention Window. Valid values for cwMin are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1023. The value for cwMin must be less than or equal to the value for cwMax. cwMax The value specified for the Maximum Contention Window is (Maximum the upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the Contention Window) random backoff value. This doubling continues until either the data frame is sent or the Maximum Contention Window size is reached. Once the Maximum Contention Window size is reached, retries will continue until a maximum number of retries allowed is reached. Valid values for cwMax are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1023. The value for cwMax must be higher than or equal to the value for cwMin. 99 Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide
