OID_DOT11_SUPPORTED_POWER_LEVELS (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

When queried, this OID requests that the miniport driver return the following data for the current PHY type on the 802.11 station:

  • The number of transmit power levels that are supported by the Physical Media Dependent (PMD) sublayer of the PHY
  • The transmit power for all the supported levels, in milliwatts (mWs)

The data type for this OID is the DOT11_SUPPORTED_POWER_LEVELS structure.

The miniport driver must use the power level that is specified in uTxPowerLevelValues[0] as its default power level. The miniport driver must set the power level of the 802.11 station to this default through its MiniportInitializeEx function, or when it is reset through a method request of OID_DOT11_RESET_REQUEST.

If the miniport driver is operating in Extensible Station (ExtSTA) mode, the current PHY type is determined through the ExtSTA msDot11CurrentPhyID management information base (MIB) object. This MIB object specifies the index of the current PHY type within the 802.11 station’s list of supported PHY types. For more information about msDot11CurrentPhyID, see OID_DOT11_CURRENT_PHY_ID.
