Table 4

The MAC parameters for the residential scenario.

Parameter	Value
Access protocol parameters	EDCA with default parameters according to traffic class.
Center frequency, BSS BW, and primary channels	Operating channel: 2.4 GHz: random assignment of three 20 MHz nonoverlapping channels 5 GHz: random assignment of three or five 80 MHz nonoverlapping channels, with random selection of primary channel per operating channel.
Aggregation	A-MPDU/64 MPDU aggregation size/BA window size, no A-MSDU, with immediate BA.
Max # of retries	Max retries: 10.
RTS/CTS threshold	No RTS/CTS.
Association	X% of STAs in an apartment is associated to the AP in the apartment; 100−X% of the STAs are not associated (X = 100).
Management	Each AP is independently managed.
