OID_DOT11_MAX_RECEIVE_LIFETIME (Compact 2013)

  • Article

When queried, this OID requests that the miniport driver return the value of the IEEE 802.11 dot11MaxReceiveLifetime management information base (MIB) object.

This MIB object specifies the maximum elapsed time after the initial reception of a management protocol data unit (MPDU) fragment that the 802.11 station can wait to receive all remaining fragments of the management service data unit (MSDU) packet.

The data type for this OID is a ULONG value that specifies the maximum receive lifetime in 802.11 time units (TU). One TU is 1024 microseconds. The value of the dot11MaxReceiveLifetime MIB must be from 1 through 4294967295.

If the maximum receive lifetime expires and the 802.11 station has not received all the MPDU fragments, the miniport driver must do the following:

  • Discard the MSDU packet and stop any additional attempts to reassemble the packet.
  • If the miniport driver is operating in Extensible Station (ExtSTA) mode, increment the ullMaxRXLifetimeExceededCount member of the DOT11_STATISTICS structure. For more information about this structure, see OID_DOT11_STATISTICS.
