-	  This option sets RSSI threshold for carrier sense in the CSMA/CA

+	  This option sets the energy detection (ED) threshold for
+	  clear channel assessment (CCA) modes 1 or 3 in the CSMA/CA
+	  algorithm. Except for the SUN O-QPSK PHY, the ED threshold
+	  shall correspond to a received signal power of at most 10 dB
+	  greater than the specified receiver sensitivity for that PHY,
+	  or in accordance with local regulations (see IEEE 802.15.4-2020,
+	  section 10.2.8). For the SUN O-QPSK PHY, the ED threshold shall
+	  comply with IEEE 802.15.4-2020, section 21.5.13.
