-Its measured over all management and data frames.  That's the clue, this allows you to read more things out of this value.  Lets say you got 100 percent RXQ and all 10 (or whatever the rate) beacons per second coming in.  Now all of a sudden the RXQ drops below 90, but you still capture all sent beacons.  Thus you know that the AP is sending frames to a client but you can't hear the client nor the AP sending to the client (need to get closer).  Another thing would be, that you got a 11MB card to monitor and capture frames (say a prism2.5) and you have a very good position to the AP.
