WDI_PHY_TYPE enumeration (dot11wificxtypes.h)

  • Article

Important

This topic is part of the WiFiCx driver model. WiFiCx is the Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features. The previous Wi-Fi driver model WDI is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes.

The WDI_PHY_TYPE enumeration defines the PHY types.

Syntax

typedef enum _WDI_PHY_TYPE {
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_UNKNOWN = 0,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_ANY = 0,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_FHSS = 1,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_DSSS = 2,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_IRBASEBAND = 3,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_OFDM = 4,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_HRDSSS = 5,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_ERP = 6,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_HT = 7,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_VHT = 8,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_DMG = 9,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_HE = 10,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_EHT = 11,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_IHV_START = 0x80000000,
  WDI_PHY_TYPE_IHV_END = 0xffffffff
} WDI_PHY_TYPE;

Constants

 
WDI_PHY_TYPE_UNKNOWN
Value: 0
Specifies an unknown or uninitialized PHY type.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_ANY
Value: 0
Specifies an unknown or uninitialized PHY type.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_FHSS
Value: 1
Specifies a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_DSSS
Value: 2
Specifies a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_IRBASEBAND
Value: 3
Specifies an infrared (IR) baseband PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_OFDM
Value: 4
Specifies an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) 802.11a PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_HRDSSS
Value: 5
Specifies a high-rate DSSS (HRDSSS) 802.11b PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_ERP
Value: 6
Specifies an extended-rate 802.11g PHY (ERP).
WDI_PHY_TYPE_HT
Value: 7
Specifies a high-throughput (HT) 802.11n PHY. Each 802.11n PHY, whether dual-band or not, is specified as this PHY type.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_VHT
Value: 8
Specifies a very high-throughput (VHT) 802.11ac PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_DMG
Value: 9
Added in Windows 10, version 1607, WDI version 1.0.21.

Specifies a Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) 802.11ad PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_HE
Value: 10
Added in Windows 10, version 1809. WDI version 1.1.7.

Specifies a High-Efficiency (HE) 802.11ax PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_EHT
Value: 11
Specifies an extremely high-throughput (EHT) 802.11be PHY.
WDI_PHY_TYPE_IHV_START
Value: 0x80000000
Specifies the start of the range that is used to define proprietary PHY types that are developed by an independent hardware vendor (IHV).
WDI_PHY_TYPE_IHV_END
Value: 0xffffffff
Specifies the end of the range that is used to define proprietary PHY types that are developed by an IHV.

Remarks

The WDI_PHY_TYPE enum is a value in the WDI_TLV_PHY_TYPE_LIST and WDI_TLV_PHY_STATISTICS TLVs.
