Item Description

802.11b

Configure rates (in Mbps) for 802.11b.
By default:

Mandatory rates—1 and 2.

Supported rates—5.5 and 11.

Multicast rate—Automatically selected from the mandatory rates. The transmission

rate of multicasts in a BSS is selected from the mandatory rates supported by all the
clients.

802.11g

Configure rates (in Mbps) for 802.11g.
By default:

Mandatory rates—2, 5.5, and 11.

Supported rates—6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54.

Multicast rate—Automatically selected from the mandatory rates. The transmission

rate of multicasts in a BSS is selected from the mandatory rates supported by all the

clients.

Configuring 802.11n MCS

Introduction to MCS

Configuration of mandatory and supported 802.11n rates is achieved by specifying the maximum

Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index. The MCS data rate table shows relations between data
rates, MCS indexes, and parameters that affect data rates. Sample MCS data rate tables for 20 MHz

and 40 MHz are shown in

Table 150

and

Table 151

, respectively. For the entire table, see IEEE P802.11n

D2.00.

Table 150

and

Table 151

indicate that MCS 0 through 7 are for one single spatial stream, and when the

MCS is 7, the data rate is the highest. MCS 8 through 15 are for two spatial streams, and when the MCS

is 15, the data rate is the highest. For the whole table, see IEEE 802.11n-2009.
Support for MCS indexes depends on the device model.
