Table 6-3 Variable Rate Beaconing Example:
(with LOW SPEED = 5, HIGH SPEED = 70, SLOW RATE = 30 min, FAST RATE = 120 sec)
Figure 6-4 Speed vs TX Interval Time
Note: The unit of Speed can be configured by using Menu 3V0.
When the mobile station’s speed is above LOW SPEED, Corner Pegging begins operating. A Corner
Pegging position beacon will be transmitted when the heading difference (the compass heading of the
present direction of travel subtracted from the compass heading transmitted in the previous position
beacon) exceeds the threshold value. The heading difference is the compass heading of the present
direction of travel (in degrees) subtracted from the compass heading transmitted in the previous
position beacon. (Technical note: only the absolute value of the heading difference, normalized to the
first and second quadrants, is used.) The threshold value called TURN THRESHOLD combines a fixed
angle threshold, called TURN ANGLE, with a constant called TURN SLOPE, times ten, divided by the
present speed. You can use the formula below to calculate TURN THRESHOLD.
