ZyXEL G-1000 v2 User’s Guide

When station A sends data to the G-1000 v2, it might not know that station B is already using 
the channel. If these two stations send data at the same time, collisions may occur when both 
sets of data arrive at the AP at the same time, resulting in a loss of messages for both stations.
RTS/CTS is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden nodes. An RTS/CTS defines the 
biggest size data frame you can send before an RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) 
handshake is invoked.
When a data frame exceeds the RTS/CTS value you set (between 0 to 2432 bytes), the station 
that wants to transmit this frame must first send an RTS (Request To Send) message to the AP 
for permission to send it. The AP then responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) message to all 
other stations within its range to notify them to defer their transmission. It also reserves and 
confirms with the requesting station the time frame for the requested transmission.
Stations can send frames smaller than the specified RTS/CTS directly to the AP without the 
RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake. 
You should only configure RTS/CTS if the possibility of hidden nodes exists on your network 
and the “cost” of resending large frames is more than the extra network overhead involved in 
the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake. 
If the RTS/CTS value is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold value (see next), then the 
RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will 
be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size
Note: Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could 
negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.
Fragmentation Threshold
Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 
bytes) that can be sent in the wireless network before the G-1000 v2 will fragment the packet 
into smaller data frames.
A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to interference 
while you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to 
interference.
If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value (see previous) you 
set, then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data 
frames will be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size.
