If there's a B user in the cell, the *control* traffic needs to be at B
rates.
During time slices given to G clients, it's not necessary that the *data*
traffic
be understandable by the B client....

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] B user in a G cell



I always understood that 802.11G provides connection rates of 54 meg. but
realistically has usable throughput of ~24meg.  Also, if a B radio
associates to a G AP then the usable throughput drops to ~8 meg.  I was
advised today that, due to recent enhancements (within the last year?), a B
user in a G cell no longer lowers the bandwidth <24meg. for all G users in
the cell.  It doesn't sound right to me.....can anyone comment on these
'enhancements' (if they do exist?) 

..........thx.................J
