DTIM interval - A DTIM interval, also known as a Data Beacon Rate, is the frequency at which an access point's beacon will include a DTIM. This frequency is usually measured in milliseconds (ms) or its equivalent, kilomicroseconds (Kmsec).
DTIM - Delivery Traffic Indication Message. A DTIM is a signal sent as part of a beacon by an access point to a client device in sleep mode, alerting the device to a packet awaiting delivery.
beacon - In wireless networking, a beacon is a packet sent by a connected device to inform other devices of its presence and readiness
beacon interval - When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval, which specifies the period of time before it will send the beacon again. The interval tells receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle the beacon. Network managers can adjust the beacon interval, usually measured in milliseconds (ms) or its equivalent, kilomicroseconds (Kmsec).
