BeaconPeriod unsigned short BeaconPeriod The value of the Beacon Interval field from the 802.11 Beacon or Probe Response frame received by the wireless LAN interface. The interval is in 1.024 microsecond time units between target beacon transmission times. This information is retrieved from the beacon packet sent by an access point in an infrastructure BSS network or a probe response from an access point or peer station in response to a wireless LAN client sending a Probe Request. The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a unit of time as equal to 1.024 microseconds. This unit was defined so that it could be easily implemented in hardware.
