OID_DOT11_HOP_TIME (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

When queried, this OID requests that the miniport driver return the value of the IEEE 802.11 dot11HopTime management information base (MIB) object for the current PHY type on the 802.11 station.

The dot11HopTime MIB object defines the time, in microseconds, that the physical media dependent (PMD) sublayer of the current PHY type requires to change from channel 2 to channel 80.

Note

Support for OID_DOT11_HOP_TIME is mandatory if the network adapter supports the dot11_phy_type_fhss 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 this OID is a ULONG value.

The IEEE 802.11-1999 standard defines the value of the dot11HopTime MIB object to be 224.

The dot11HopTime MIB object is valid only for the frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) PHY type. If the current PHY type is not set to dot11_phy_type_fhss, 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.
