    I have question about the value of ACK timeout and DIFS when I was reading the source code "mac.cpp"

    The path to that file is C:\SoraSDK2.0\src\umxsdrbrick\mac.cpp. I have seem following,

    const int           nDIFS = 12;
    const int           nACKTimeout = 60;

    Why nDIFS is 12 and nACKTimeout is 60. What is unit? us?

    Thanks

    The constants are used to initialize the counter of E_ERROR_CS_TIMEOUT error code from the processing graph. For example in 802.11a brick graph, the module TCCA11a will report E_ERROR_CS_TIMEOUT if max_sense_count samples have been consumed but no frame detected.

    DIFS in theory is determined by 802.11 standards. ACKTimeout in theroy is determined by SIFS and Wi-Fi coverage configuration. They are tuned as-is in our implementation, to optimized throughput and minimize conflicts.
