Re: 802.11 QBSS Load Element (channel utilization)

[Eduard GV <eduardgv () gmail com>]

Hi Steve,

According to the IEEE 802.11 standard, the utilization field of the
BSS Load Element is defined as the percentage of busy time, normalized
to 255. Thus, a value of 150 would mean that the channel utilization
is 59%. Does it make sense?

Regards,
Eduard
