Important

This topic is part of the WDI driver model released in Windows 10. The WDI driver model is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes. WiFiCx is the Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features.

The WDI_PHY_TYPE enumeration defines the PHY types.

Constants

 
WDI_PHY_TYPE_UNKNOWN
Specifies an unknown or uninitialized PHY type.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_ANY
Specifies an unknown or uninitialized PHY type.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_FHSS
Specifies a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_DSSS
Specifies a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_IRBASEBAND
Specifies an infrared (IR) baseband PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_OFDM
Specifies an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) 802.11a PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_HRDSSS
Specifies a high-rate DSSS (HRDSSS) 802.11b PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_ERP
Specifies an extended-rate 802.11g PHY (ERP).
WDI_PHY_TYPE_HT
Specifies a high-throughput (HT) 802.11n PHY. Each 802.11n PHY, whether dual-band or not, is specified as this PHY type.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_VHT
Specifies a very high-throughput (VHT) 802.11ac PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_DMG
Added in Windows 10, version 1607, WDI version 1.0.21.

Specifies a Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) 802.11ad PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_HE
Added in Windows 10, version 1809. WDI version 1.1.7.

Specifies a High-Efficiency (HE) 802.11ax PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_IHV_START
Specifies the start of the range that is used to define proprietary PHY types that are developed by an independent hardware vendor (IHV).
WDI_PHY_TYPE_IHV_END
Specifies the end of the range that is used to define proprietary PHY types that are developed by an IHV.
