From: Mathias Kretschmer <mathias.kretschmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> According to 802.11-2007 17.3.8.6 (slot time), the slot time should be increased by 3 us * coverage class. The code only increased the ack timeout, which is fixed by this patch. We have noticed in our long shot scenario that we see less collisions with this patch.
