Chapter 5 TDMA
Currently, most of the outdoor bridge products are developed based on 802.11 protocols, however,
it has the limitations of short-distance, hidden node problems, and poor point-to-multi-point
performance.
VTrans technology utilizes a series of advanced technologies such as TDMA, 20 M/40 MHz
bandwidth support, intelligent rate control, Auto ACK Time-out Adjust, having the advantage of
long transmission range, high date rate and robust transmission.
TDMA technology solves the problems of hidden-node problem in the 802.11 network
infra-structure. 20 M/40 MHz bandwidth can be flexibly configured by the uses in different working
scenario to achieve the best link quality. Intelligent rate control algorithm can be adapted to quick
channel quality variations, while stabilize the wireless throughput, thus suitable for long-distance
transmission. ACK Time-out Auto Adjust can automatically detect the distances of the devices, and
adjust the wireless parameters to achieve the best link quality.
The TDMA setting is shown in the following figure:
Figure 5-1 TDMA Settings
To use the TDMA, the user needs to enable TDMA mode in the AP device, and set a priority level in
the station device. When several stations are connected to one AP, different stations demand
different throughput. If the station demands higher throughput, its priority level can be set to High,
otherwise set to Low. When the stations demand the same throughput, their priority level can be
set to the same level.
When using TDMA mode, the TDMA button need to be enabled at both AP and station devices
in the web-based configuration menu. The devices from other vendors cannot be connected to
DS-3WF03C in the TDMA mode.
