RSSI (Received signal strength indication)
RSSI用来评估信号的相对强度,IEEE 802.11标准规定RSSI取值范围是0-255,值越大信号越强。每个芯片厂商可以定义自己的RSSI最大值,比如CISCO的最大值是100,其RSSI取值范围是0-100。
OpenWrt计算Signal时,将其值减去255。
dbm
贝是衡量一个数和标准数之间的关系:lg(a/b)。对于功率,分贝是1/10贝。对于振幅(位移,速度,加速度,声压),分贝是1/20贝。声音的分贝是声压和2*10^-5pa的比值。通常3分贝是2倍的比值。dbm是功率,m表示milliwatts毫瓦。功率和毫瓦的比值。
对于无线接收信号强度:
Signal Strength | TL;DR | Required for | |
---|---|---|---|
-30 dBm | Amazing | Max achievable signal strength. The client can only be a few feet from the AP to achieve this. Not typical or desirable in the real world. | N/A |
-67 dBm | Very Good | Minimum signal strength for applications that require very reliable, timely delivery of data packets. | VoIP/VoWiFi, streaming video |
-70 dBm | Okay | Minimum signal strength for reliable packet delivery. | Email, web |
-80 dBm | Not Good | Minimum signal strength for basic connectivity. Packet delivery may be unreliable. | N/A |
-90 dBm | Unusable | Approaching or drowning in the noise floor. Any functionality is highly unlikely. | N/A |
