Air Time efficiency in wireless networking is a measure of how efficiently the RF spectrum is utilized. It is influenced by several factors that determine how much 'airtime' is actually used to transmit user data. The elements that determine Air Time efficiency include:
* Data rate (modulation density) or QAM: Higher data rates allow for more data to be transmitted in the same amount of time, improving airtime efficiency.
* Channel bandwidth: Wider channel bandwidths provide more spectrum for data transmission, which can increase airtime efficiency.
* Number of spatial streams and spatial reuse: Multiple spatial streams allow for more data to be transmitted simultaneously, and spatial reuse can improve efficiency by allowing for the same frequencies to be used in different areas without interference.
