I am not a WiFi expert, but is that 100 seconds typical ?
Yes, but it depends on many other factors as well. Since Dot 11 (802.11) requires full handshake before transmission (think TCP), You have to keep the radio active for the entire period. OTOH, Dot 15 can send independent packet (think UDP) in half duplex. ZagAnt (#1) use 10 seconds turn around full duplex, for applications that needs bi-directional communications. For comparisons:
Mode System Power RF Power Minimum Time
Dot 11 F 500mW 100mW 100s
Dot 11 H N/A N/A N/A
Dot 15 F 80mW 10mW All (Server/Gateway mode)
Dot 15 F 80mW 1mW 10s (Client Bi-directional)
Dot 15 H 80mW 1mW 1s (Client Uni-directional)
Note #1:
Someone already claimed ZigAnt. So, we are switching to ZagAnt. Ant for Asymetric Network Transmission protocol.
I am sure, but I'll ask, does distance require more power or will the
router not accept the connection if power is too low ?
( or does it slow down )
It will either drop the data rate or more retries (at 500ms intervals).
I have read many papers and more than happy to show your more numbers.
