The WiFiMAC provides an IEEE 802.11-conformant Data Link Layer, including the following features:
- IEEE 802.11 Distributed Contention Function medium access with virtual and physical carrier sense.
- RTS/CTS frame exchange to reduce the hidden node problem
- IEEE 802.11-2007 Transmission Opportunities
- IEEE 802.11 Draft N MPDU aggregation
- IEEE 802.11 Draft N Block Acknowledgement
- IEEE 802.11 Draft N MIMO-based Modulation and Coding Schemes using a simple post-SINR based MIMO transmission model
- Opportunistic rate adaptation with closed and open loop control
- Mesh networking with path selection using mesh points as intermediate hops
