ESP8266 reduce Wifi beacon interval

hey folks!

I work on a little project (in way of WiFi-Channel Utiliziation) and for this I need lot of data frames in the air.
Knows anyone the possibilities how set the default beacon-interval from 100ms down to 1ms?

I try it with a vlaue-change (default: beacon_interval = 100) in the libary "ESP8266WifiAP.cpp" - without success. Another try was, i work with the "wifi_pkt_freedom_send();" function and shot a crafted beacon frame inside the main loop in the air. Is the wifi channel 1 (ESP in station mode) configured, than I have great rates, aprox. 800 - 1000 packets per second and the ESP (12-F, 07) is getting hot. Unfortunately is this behavior only at channel 1 (2412MHz), all other channels have the result from very slow ~ 10 pps.

It would be great, if someone of you can help me ;)

many thx and merry xmas!
