Thanks for your answers. 

I think I am not on the good way. I would like to reduce the software
retries when we lost the AP (turn off). In this case, no BlockAck are
received. 
Is it possible to reduce the software retries in this case? If yes, could
you give me some pointer?

Is it possible to reduce the ATH_MAX_SW_RETRIES value (for example reduces
to 10) without damage?
