2.7.4
Receiver maximum input signal level
The receiver shall provide a maximum PER of 10% at an PSDU length of 1000 bytes for a maximum input level of
–10 dBm measured at the antenna for any baseband modulation.
2.7.5
Receive inter-modulation distortion
IEEE does not specify this value. However, the radio interception point will be measured, and calculated. The
receiver interception point should reflect an acceptable performance for normal usage of the Orthus AP.
2.7.6
Receiver channel power indicator (RCPI)
The receive channel power indicator also known as RSSI definition is described as follows. The RCPI indicator is a
measure of the received RF power in the selected channel. This parameter shall be a measure by the PHY sublayer
of the received RF power in the channel measured over the entire received frame. The received power shall be the
average over all receive chains. RCPI shall be a monotonically increasing, logarithmic function of the received
power level defined in dBm. The allowed values for the Received Channel Power Indicator (RCPI) parameter shall
be an 8 bit value in the range from 0 through 220, with indicated values rounded to the nearest 0.5 dB as follows:
— 0: Power not > -110 dBm
— 1: Power = -109.5 dBm
— 2: Power = -109.0 dBm
— and so on up to
— 220: Power not < 0 dBm
— 221-254: reserved
— 255: Measurement not available
where
RCPI = int{(Power in dBm +110)*2} for 0 dbm > Power > -110 dBm (21-76)
Accuracy for each measurement shall be +/- 5dB (95% confidence interval) within the specified dynamic range of
the receiver. The measurement shall assume a receiver noise equivalent bandwidth equal to the channel bandwidth
multiplied by 1.1.
