WL18xx configuration file (wlconf) - meaning of power parameters

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1835MODHi! I'd like to know the meaning of the following parameters in the wlconf configuration file: wl18xx.phy.low_power_val wl18xx.phy.med_power_val wl18xx.phy.high_power_val wl18xx.phy.low_power_val_2nd wl18xx.phy.med_power_val_2nd wl18xx.phy.high_power_val_2nd When is each parameter used, and what does the value actually mean? Which values should I use for maximum performance?

    Hi,

    The explanation is in the ini file itself (git://git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/18xx-ti-utils/wlconf/official_inis/WL1835MOD_INI.ini)


    #Following three params are For Dynamic Tx Power level control in operational mode STA HP BG only:
    TxPower_level_MaxPower = ff # Max Tx power level ; (Auto mode power setting - 0xff(default mode); Manual mode power settings - 0..30dBm (Default = 0x18 = 24dbm = max power at BG1)
    TxPower_level_MedPower = ff # Medium Tx power level; (Auto mode power setting - 0xff(default mode); Manual mode power settings - 0..30dBm (Default = 0x12 = 18dBm = value for optimal CC) i.e. In case of PerSubBandTxTraceLoss different from 0, TxPower_level_MedPower = 0x12dBm-PerSubBandTxTraceLoss[BG2]
    TxPower_level_LowPower = ff # Low Tx power level ; (Auto mode power setting - 0xff(default mode); Manual mode power settings - 0..30dBm (Default = 0x08 = 8dBm = for best link condition)

    TxPower_level_MaxPower_2nd = ff # For Dynamic Tx Power level control in operational mode non STA HP BG, Max Tx power level in dBm Hex val 0..30; (Default = 0x14 - max BG2)
    TxPower_level_MedPower_2nd = ff # For Dynamic Tx Power level control in operational mode non STA HP BG, Medium Tx power level; (Default = 0x0A- med BG2)
    TxPower_level_LowPower_2nd = ff # For Dynamic Tx Power level control in operational mode non STA HP BG, Low Tx power level; (Default = 0x05- low BG2)


    Recommended setting = 0xFF implies     that the output power is controlled by the MAC defaults, and not user configuration
