To download an editable EXCEL sheet, where you can enter your personal values, click on the following link:
==== For 802.11b bitrates (valid in 802.11b and g; short headers used) ====
[[Image:80211_TransmissionTime.xls]].

There you can enter the length of the data packet as well as a few other options to calculate the expected transmission time. Also see the comments in the file. The MAKRO inside the file allows to create wiki output; just deactivate it in case you don't need it.


=== For 802.11b bitrates (valid in 802.11a*,b and g; short headers used) ===

Frame exchange duration for a unicast data frame and the acknowledgement frame

To download an editable EXCEL sheet, where you can enter your personal values, click on the following link: File:80211 TransmissionTime.xls.

There you can enter the length of the data packet as well as a few other options to calculate the expected transmission time. Also see the comments in the file. The MAKRO inside the file allows to create wiki output; just deactivate it in case you don't need it.
