 Before running an experiment, you should consider what would happen if your design is exposed to weak, but frequent, interference. The 802.11 Rx PHY can only process one packet in any given instant in time. If the PHY starts attempting to decode weak interference, it may be unable to decode your own stronger traffic if it occurs immediately during and after the interference event. Instead, it may make sense to use the "Minimum Packet Detection Energy" feature of the design ([wiki:802.11/Benchmarks/Pkt_Det_Min_Power_Char characterized here]). This parameter lets you prevent the PHY from beginning to start processing a packet unless it is sufficient strong to meet a power requirement that you specify.
 
-To provide a concrete example of where this function can be useful, consider the [wiki:802.11/wlan_exp/app_notes/dcf_with_multiple_flows DCF with Multiple Flows Application Note]. This experiment was to show the interaction of DCF behaviors on a few nodes in a very small tabletop topology. In this experiment, the Tx power was intentionally lowered to a minimum value (-10dBm), resulting in received powers between [wiki:802.11/wlan_exp/app_notes/dcf_with_multiple_flows/figs/v1_0_cs_pow_vs_time.png -70 dBm and -75 dBm].
