Missed packets are described as when a data packet is expected, but is not recog-
nized as a data packet by the console.
5. Percentage of good packets received.
6. Total number of good packets received.

attempt to resynchronize with the station after 20 consecutive bad packets.

sole is synchronized but the packet is bad. This value is reset to zero when a good
packet is received.
