14. l uses the frame fragmentation mechanism defined in IEEE 802 11 to achieve parallel transmissions A large data frame is fragmented into several fragments each of size equal to fragment threshold By tuning the fragment threshold value we can get varying fragment sizes The determination of an efficient fragment threshold is an important issue in this scheme If the fragment threshold is small the overlap part of the master and parallel transmissions is large This means the spatial reuse ratio of parallel transmissions is high In contrast with a large fragment threshold the overlap is small and the spatial reuse ratio is low However high fragment threshold leads to low fragment overhead Hence there is a trade off between spatial re use and fragment overhead Fragment threshold is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented If you find that your corrupted packets or asymmetric packet reception all send packets for example You may want to try lowering your fragmentation threshold This will cause packets to be broken into smaller fragments These small fragments if corrupted can be resent faster than a larger fragment Fragmentation increases overhead so you ll want to keep this value as close to the maximum value as possible 26 RTS Request To Send Threshold The RTS threshold 18 the packet size at which packet transmission is governed by the 22 RTS CTS trans
