There are stringent government regulatory requirements that must be followed by Wi-Fi radios when operating on 5-GHz band frequencies. The regulatory bodies specifying and enforcing these requirements are:
The differences between these DFS standards are primarily in the methods to detect radars operating in a channel that satisfy regulatory requirements. Each one defines different types of radio parameters such as pulse width, PRF, modulation, and so forth, and measures the detection success rate.
Most tests regarding the DFS master way of operation, once radar is detected, are similar and focus on the DFS timing requirements. These tests verify the timing on the parameters as summarized in Table 17.
Parameter | Requirement |
---|---|
Channel Availability Check Time | 60s (some have 10 minutes) |
Channel Move Time | 10s (maximum) |
Channel Closing Time | 260 ms (maximum) |
Non-occupancy period | 30 minutes (minimum) |
