OID_DOT11_ERP_PBCC_OPTION_ENABLED (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
When queried, this OID requests that the miniport driver return the value of the IEEE 802.11g dot11ERPBCCOptionEnabled management information base (MIB) object for the current PHY type on the 802.11 station.
This MIB object specifies whether the extended rate PHY (ERP) has enabled packet binary convolutional code (PBCC) modulation.
For more information about PBCC modulation, refer to Clause 18.4.6.6 of the IEEE 802.11b‑1999 standard. For more information about the ERP-PBCC option, refer to Clause 19.6 of the IEEE 802.11g‑2003 standard.
Note
Support for OID_DOT11_ERP_PBCC_OPTION_ENABLED is mandatory if the network adapter supports the dot11_phy_type_erp PHY type. For more information about how the miniport driver specifies its list of supported PHY types, see OID_DOT11_SUPPORTED_PHY_TYPES.
The data type for OID_DOT11_ERP_PBCC_OPTION_ENABLED is a BOOLEAN value. A value of TRUE indicates that the current PHY type has enabled PBCC modulation.
The dot11ERPBCCOptionEnabled MIB object is valid only for the ERP PHY type. If the current PHY type is not set to dot11_phy_type_erp, the miniport driver must fail the query request by returning NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_DATA from its MiniportOidRequest function.
If the miniport driver is operating in Extensible Station (ExtSTA) mode, the current PHY type is determined through the ExtSTA msDot11CurrentPhyID 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.
