Nv2 wireless TDMA protocol by Mikrotik
Finally, after long time the TDMA is in! Still in BETA stage (RouterOS v5.0beta5 ) but ready to be tested.
Nv2 wireless TDMA protocol
MikroTik has developed a new wireless protocol based on TDMA technology (Time Division Multiple Access) - Nv2 (Nstreme version 2). TDMA is a channel access method for shared medium networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using his own time slot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium (e.g. radio frequency channel) while using only a part of its channel capacity.
The most important benefits of Nv2 are:
- Increased speed
- More client connections in PTM environments
- Lower latency
- No distance limitations
- No penalty for long distances
Starting from RouterOS v5.0beta5 you can configure Nv2 in the Wireless menu.
- 5/10/20/40 MHz channel support
- 802.11n MIMO Atheros AR92xx support
- R52, R52H, AR5414 backward compatible
- Mixed systems possible
- Possibility to set CPE association priorities, so when AP switches to Nv2, all CPEs switch too, allowing easy migration and upgrade To make the connection using Nv2 on the AP side you need to select the wireless-protocol=nv2 and on the Station side, select wireless-protocol Nv2™ Currently, with 802.11n and Nv2 you can get approximately 97Mbps UDP traffic and 94Mbs TCP traffic through RB711 in one direction using one chain.
