NDIS_802_11_RATES (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This data type provides a way to handle the data rates associated with 802.11 delivery.

Syntax

typedef 
UCHAR NDIS_802_11_RATES[8];

Remarks

The set of eight supported data rates for 802.11 represent an operational rate set at which the radio can run. Data rates are encoded as eight octets, where each octet describes a single supported rate in units of 0.5 megabits per second (Mbps).

Supported rated that belong to the BSSBasicRateSet are used for frames, such as control and broadcast frames. Each of these rates is encoded as an octet with the most significant bit (msb, bit 7) set to 1. For example, a 1 Mbps rate that belongs to the BSSBasicRateSet, would be encoded as 0x82.

Rates that do not belong to the BSSBasicRateSet are encoded with the msb set to 0; for example, a 2 Mbps rate that does not belong to the BSSBasicRateSet, is encoded as 0x04.
