Constants
-
dot11_phy_type_unknown
-
Specifies an unknown or uninitialized PHY type.
-
dot11_phy_type_any
-
Specifies any PHY type.
-
dot11_phy_type_fhss
-
Specifies a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) PHY. Bluetooth devices can use FHSS or an adaptation of FHSS.
-
dot11_phy_type_dsss
-
Specifies a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) PHY type.
-
dot11_phy_type_irbaseband
-
Specifies an infrared (IR) baseband PHY type.
-
dot11_phy_type_ofdm
-
Specifies an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) PHY type. 802.11a devices can use OFDM.
-
dot11_phy_type_hrdsss
-
Specifies a high-rate DSSS (HRDSSS) PHY type.
-
dot11_phy_type_erp
-
Specifies an extended rate PHY type (ERP). 802.11g devices can use ERP.
-
dot11_phy_type_ht
-
Specifies the 802.11n PHY type.
- **dot11\_phy\_type\_vht**
- Specifies the 802.11ac PHY type. This is the very high throughput PHY type specified in IEEE 802.11ac. This value is supported on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and later.
- **dot11\_phy\_type\_dmg**
- TBD
- **dot11\_phy\_type\_he**
- TBD
- **dot11\_phy\_type\_eht**
- TBD
- **dot11\_phy\_type\_IHV\_start**
-
Specifies the start of the range that is used to define PHY types that are developed by an independent hardware vendor (IHV).
-
dot11_phy_type_IHV_end
-
Specifies the start of the range that is used to define PHY types that are developed by an independent hardware vendor (IHV).
Remarks
An IHV can assign a value for its proprietary PHY types from dot11_phy_type_IHV_start through dot11_phy_type_IHV_end. The IHV must assign a unique number from this range for each of its proprietary PHY types.
