SNR and RSSI Values.

HI ,
What is the tha average ,minimum and maximum values of SNR(Signal to noice ratio ) and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator ) in cisco access points .
And how it is depends on the client connectivity with the Access point.
Thanks & Regards,
Sinjish.K

I am not really sure what you asking here, but My guess is your trying to get a grasp on what SNR and RSSI
values are how they relate to clients, and how they relate to connectivity. If this is the case read on. otherwise well ingore this post..
SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is a ratio based value that evaluates your signal based on the noise being seen. So let's look at the components of the SNR and they see how to determine it. SNR is comprised of 2 values and is measured as a positive value between 0db and 120db and the closer it is to 120db the better: Signal Value and Noise Value typically these are expressed in decibels (db).
     So we will look at the Signal (Also known as RSSI) first this value is measured in decibels from 0 (zero) to -120 (minus 120) now when looking at this value the closer to 0 (zero) the stronger the signal is which means it's better, typically voice networks require a -65db or better signal level while a data network needs -80db or better. Normal range in a network would be -45db to -87db depending on power levels and design; since the Signal is affected by the APs transmit power & antenna aswell as the clients antenna (I'll explain this later.)
     Now to the Noise side of this equation, noise is any signal (interference) that is not WiFi traffic such as cordless phones, microwaves, radar, etc. This value is measured in decibels from 0 (zero) to -120 (minus 120) now when looking at this value the closer to -120 (minus 120) is better because that means there is little to no interference. Typical environments range between -90db and -98db.
     So to calculate your SNR value you add the Signal Value to the Noise Value and it generates (or should) a positive number that is expressed in decibels (db); for example lets say your Signal value is -55db and your Noise value is -95db.
                    -55db + -95db = 40db this means you have an SNR of 40, my general rule of thumb is that any SNR above 20 is good.
RSSI (Recieved Signal Strength Indicator) is a more common name for the Signal value; meaning it is the strength that the device is hearing a specific device or signal.RSSI is most common used in bridge links where on client laptops they just call it Signal.
As for your question about the maximum and minimum supported by cisco access points that is hard to answer because the antennas attached to the access points also factor into it. In general the Cisco APs have the following maximum transmit powers: 802.11a/n is 40mw or 14dbm, 802.11b is 100mw or 20dbm, 802.11g is 50mw or 17dbm; although in some cases countries and specific channels can alter these limits.
The last three things I will kind of explain is the EIRP, Free Space Path Loss, and Client side.
EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) is the actual amount of signal leaving the antenna and is a value measured in db that is based on 3 things:Transmit Power (db), Cable Loss (db), & Antenna Gain (dbi). To determine EIRP follow this equation: - Cable Loss + Antenna Gain = EIRP. For example we have a Cisco 1242AG access points running at full power with a 6dbi antenna on the 802.11a radio and a 2.5dbi antenna on the 802.11bg radio.
802.11a EIRP = 17db (40mw) - 0db + 6dbi = 23db = 200mw of actual output power
802.11bg EIRP = 20db (100mw) - 0db + 2.5dbi = 22.5db = 150mw (approx) of actual output power
based on the example above in theory if you were to measure it right at the antenna you could get an RSSI of -23 or -22.5 respectively.
Free Space Path Loss is a measure of how much signal power you lose over a given distance typically you lose about 0.020 db per foot in an outdoor or wide open office; doors, walls, glass, and etc. affect this. This is why as you walk away from an AP your signal gets weaker.
All this relates to the client because it determines the signal the client recieves, also keep in mind that when looking at the client you have to account for it's antenna as well. much like the EIRP... So if a client card has a 2 dbi antenna (although they are typically either 0dbi or 2.2dbi) that boosts the incoming signal. as shown here assuming the actual raw RSSI signal being seen is -68db (not the value displayed in the client window).
Actual RSSI + Antenna Gain = Displayed RSSI
-68db + 2db = -66db
I hope all this helps with your question...

What is RSSI , SNR and technical specification value in dbm

Hi,
I am little bit confused about RSSI concept and SNR , Signal strength.
One more thing that , what is technical specification of signal strength and SNR and RSSI for 802.11 a,b,g and n
Because as far as application concern , this values get changed eq. voice , video
I need to get the values according to application.

Hi,
RSSI means Receiver Signal Strength Indicator. It's the strength of the signal as perceived as received by the client. It does not have a precise unit of measurement. On client softwares, it's usually a percentage (that has no real meaning). WLC and APs usually show in dbm.
SNR is Signal/Noise ratio. The noise level is usually at -90dbm let's say. This means that if you have a signal at -90dbm, it's completely lost in the noise, it has a SNR of 0.
A signal at -80dbm has a SNR of 10 in the same conditions, it is barely decodable.
However if the noise level is -95 then a signal of -80 will give a SNR of 15 and will be much more decodable.
Noise is usually between -100 and -90 in normal circumstances.
Dbm is another way of expressing power (rather than milliwatts). The advantage of dbm is that you can add or substract antenna gains very easily since those are in db.
20dbm=100mw
The rule is "if you substract 3dbm, divide the mw by 2" and "if you substract 10dbm, divide the milliwats by 10"
So 17dbm = 50mw
13dbm=25mw
10dbm=10mw
The received signal strength which are usually between -40 and -80dbm are then fractions of fractions of microwatts :-)

Avoiding null and duplicate values using model clause

Hi,
I am trying to use model clause to get comma seperated list of data : following is the scenario:
testuser>select * from test1;
ID VALUE
1 Value1
2 Value2
3 Value3
4 Value4
5 Value4
6
7 value5
8
8 rows selected.
the query I have is:
testuser>with src as (
2 select distinct id,value
3 from test1
4 ),
5 t as (
6 select distinct substr(value,2) value
7 from src
8 model
9 ignore nav
10 dimension by (id)
11 measures (cast(value as varchar2(100)) value)
12 rules
13 (
14 value[any] order by id =
15 value[cv()-1] || ',' || value[cv()]
16 )
17 )
18 select max(value) oneline
19 from t;
ONELINE
Value1,Value2,Value3,Value4,Value4,,value5,
what I find is that this query has duplicate value and null (',,') coming in as data has null and duplicate value. Is there a way i can avoid the null and the duplicate values in the query output?
thanks,

NULL and Space value in ABAP

Hi All,
I like to know, is it NULL and Space value is same in ABAP, if it is not how to check null value.
Thank you.
Senthil

everything is correct though some answers are not correct.
A Database NULL value represents a field that has never been stored to database - this saving space, potentially.
Usually all SAP tables are stored with all fields, empty fields are stored with their initial value.
But: If a new table append is created and the newly-added fields do not have the 'initial value' marked in table definition, Oracle will just set NULL values for them.
as mentioned: There is no NULL value to be stored in an ABAP field. The IS NULL comparison is valid only for WHERE clause in SELECT statement. WHERE field = space is different from WHERE field IS NULL. That's why you should check for both specially for appended table fields.
If a record is selected (fulfilling another WHERE condition) into an internal table or work area, NULL values are convertted to their initial values anyway.
Hope that sheds some light on the subject!

Clemens

How to differentiate the EMPTY Records and Null Values in DSO

Hello....how is everyone here?? Ehehehe!
I try to load some data from the flat file which contains some EMPTY data and Null Values for the records. The data type for the InfoObjects of the fields "Quantity" is "number". The sample data from the flat file (CSV) are as below:
Food              Quantity
Hamburger -       12
Cheese        -       0
Vegetable      -               (Empty)
When I try to load the above sample data to the DSO, I get the results of the data as follow:
Food              Quantity
Hamburger     - 12.000
Cheese           - 0.000
Vegetable         - 0.000
In this case, how can the user differentiate whether the records is contain empty value of null values in DSO? This is kinda of hard to differentiate the both scenarios above. Is there any way to differentiate the scenarios described here?
Thanks alot =)

Hi Fluffy,
It depends on the initial values of the data type
The inital values For quantity/Currency/ Numbers it takes spaces as 0
for char it is SPACE
We cannot differeniate between space and null values.
IF you have to force this then define quantity as char and load the data. we will not have units and aggregation in this case.
Hope this helps.

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Union two tables with diffrent count of fields with null and float value

Hello,
i want to union two tables, first one with 3 fields and second one with 4 fields (diffrent count of fields).
I can add null value at end of first select but it does not work with float values in second table. Value form second table is convert to integer.
For example:
select null v1 from sessions
union
select 0.05 v1 from sessions
result is set of null and 0 value.
As workaround i can type:
select null+0.0 v1 from sessions
union
select 0.05 v1 from sessions
or simple change select's order.
Is any better/proper way to do this? Can I somehow set float field type in first select?
Best regards,
Lukasz.

Hi Lukasz,
in a UNION statement the first statement defines the structure (number, names and types of fields) of the resultset.
Therefore you have to define a FLOAT field in the first SELECT statement in order to avoid conversion to VARCHAR.
Be aware that NULL and 0.0 are not the same thus NULL+0.0 does not equal NULL.
In fact NULL cannot equal to any number or character value at all.
BTW: you may want to use UNION ALL to avoid the search and removal of duplicates - looks like your datasets won't contain duplicates anyhow...

Reading and Inserting Value in Long Raw

Hi guys !!
I have a table with 15 columns out of which RESUME column has data type long Raw. I want to copy this table to another table with selectd columns and validation. I want to check whether RESUME column is NULL. How to achieve it ?
Similarly, using VB how to insert and retrieve values in such column ?
thanx in advance
Abhi

do one thing ,
Create a summary item for detail amount column, say m_tot_amt
Set its fol. properties
Calculation Mode : Summary
Summary : Sum
Summ.Blk : Your detail blk
Summ. Item : Your detail amount item
Also, Set Query all records of your detail block as Yes
Then In PRE-INSERT/ PRE_UPDATE of detail block, write
:COP_ORDER_HEADER.DISCOUNT_AMOUNT := nvl(:m_tot_amt,0) ;

Find and replace value in Delimited String

Hi All,
I have a requirement, where i need to find and replace values in delimited string.
For example, the string is "GL~1001~157747~FEB-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~". The 4th column gives month and year. I need to replace it with previous month name. For example: "GL~1001~157747~JAN-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~". I need to do same for last 12 months.
I thought of first devide the values and store it in variable and then after replacing it with required value, join it back.
I just wanted to know if there is any better way to do it?

for example (Assumption: the abbreviated month is the first occurance of 3 consecutive alphabetic charachters)
with testdata as (
select 'GL~1001~157747~FEB-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~' str from dual

,to_date('01'||regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}')||'2013', 'DDMONYYYY') part_date
,replace (str
         ,regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}')
         ,to_char(add_months(to_date('01'||regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}')||'2013', 'DDMONYYYY'),-1),'MON')
) res
from testdata

GL~1001~157747~FEB-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~
FEB
02/01/2013
GL~1001~157747~JAN-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~
with year included
with testdata as (
select 'GL~1001~157747~JAN-13~CREDIT~A~N~USD~NULL~' str from dual
select
str
,regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}-\d{2}') part
,to_date(regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}-\d{2}'), 'MON-YY') part_date
,replace (str
         ,regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}-\d{2}')
         ,to_char(add_months(to_date(regexp_substr(str, '[[:alpha:]]{3}-\d{2}'), 'MON-YY'),-1),'MON-YY')

Display and return value in select list.

hi,
i want to display the value in select list coming from this quary .

minus
select student_id from STUDENT_TYPE_DETAILS where class_id =:p1_class_id and SECTION =:p1_section;
but i want f_name and last name with student_id .f_name and l_name store in table s_per_det.student is also in that table.
how can i define display value and return value in this quary using 3rd table s_per_det.
How can i do this.
Thanks

Ooh, MINUS.... Can you not use a NOT EXISTS in this case, could have a big effect on the execution plan?
Something like this perhaps?
SELECT f_name||' '||l_name,
       stundent_id
FROM class_record a,
     s_per_det b
WHERE a.student_id = b.student_id
AND   a.class_id   = :P1_CLASS_ID
AND   a.section    = :P1_SECTION
AND   NOT EXISTS(SELECT 'X'
                 FROM student_type_details c
                 WHERE a.student_id = c.student_id
                 AND   c.class_id = :P1_CLASS_ID
                 AND   c.section = :P1_SECTION)Cheers

The internal table's structure not fix. you can have any number of fields in the internal table.
Can you please send me code if it is available with you or send me any senario in SAP if any ...so that i can debug to extract the code..
have to display data vertically as below in editable format,
for example,
Airline
Flight Number
Flight date
Flight price
Airline Currency
Plane Type
Maximum capacity
Occupied econ.
Total
No of fields will change.
also F4 help needs to be attached with each field.
I think it can be done through step loop. can anybody give sample code or tell me where to find in SAP or somewhere else?
it will be great help to me..
