Time, in milliseconds, between successive
beacon transmissions. The beacon
advertises the AP’s presence, identity, and
radio characteristics to wireless clients.

beacon-regulate
Enabling this setting introduces
randomness in the beacon generation so
that multiple APs on the same channel do
not send beacons at the same time, which
causes collisions over the air.

cap-reg-eirp
<cap-reg-eirp>
Work around a known issue on Cisco
7921G telephones by specifying a cap for
a radio’s maximum equivalent isotropic
radiated power (EIRP). When you enable
this parameter, even if the regulatory
approved maximum for a given channel is
higher than this EIRP cap, the AP radio
using this profile will advertise only this
capped maximum EIRP in its radio
beacons.
1–31 dBm.
cell-size-reduction
<cell-size-reduction>
The cell size reduction feature allows you
manage dense deployments and to increase
overall system performance and capacity by
shrinking an AP’s receive coverage area,
thereby minimizing co-channel interference
and optimizing channel reuse. This value
should only be changed if the network is
experiencing performance issues. The pos-
sible range of values for this feature is 0-55
dB. The default 0 dB reduction allows the
radio to retain its current default Rx sensitivity
value.
Values from 1 dB - 55 dB reduce the power
level that the radio can hear by that amount.
If you configure this feature to use a non-
default value, you must also reduce the
radio’s transmission (Tx) power to match its
new received (Rx) power level. Failure to
match a device’s Tx power level to its Rx
power level can result in a configuration that
allows the radio to send messages to a
device that it cannot hear.
