7 | 7 | A major feature of [wiki:802.11 the 802.11 Reference Design] is its compliance to the 802.11 standard to enable interaction with commercial Wi-Fi devices. This is the design in its "reference" state -- a known quantity that is ''intended'' to be modified to suit the needs of research applications. In our [wiki:802.11/wlan_exp/app_notes other app notes], we made small modifications to the design and characterized how those design changes manifested using the [wiki:802.11/wlan_exp WLAN Experiments Framework]. Ultimately, however, those design changes were small and the resulting design differed from the 802.11 standard only slightly. |
