| 43 | === Estimation of Calibration Workload === |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Each card shall be placed in TX and RX experiment for both 5 seconds per channel per power setting. Suppose there are 24 [11(b/g)+13(a)] channels, 5 power settings. Each card takes 5*2*24*5 seconds = 20 minutes to calibarate. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Some other overheads: |
| 48 | * There are some 5~8 seconds overhead to start the expriments. |
| 49 | * Powering on the node needs to take around 2 minutes. |
| 50 | * Loading a image on the node takes 3 minutes. |
| 51 | Therefore, calibration a node will generally takes 45~46 minutes. |
