•
TXOP : Transmit Opportunity. The maximum time an AC transmit queue has access to the
wireless medium. When an AC queue is granted a transmit opportunity, it can transmit
data for a time up to the TXOP. This data bursting greatly improves the efficiency for high
data-rate traffic. Specify a value in the range 0-8192 microseconds.
•
ACM : The admission control mode for the access category. When enabled, clients are
blocked from using the access category.
•
AckPolicy : Acknowledge Policy. By default, all wireless data transmission requires the
sender to wait for an acknowledge message from the receiver. WMM allows the
acknowledgment wait time to be turned off for each Access Category (AC). Although this
increases data throughput, it can also result in a high number of errors when traffic levels
are heavy.
