- * Helper struct and macro to work with moving/walking averages.
- * When adding a value to the average value the following calculation
- * is needed:
- *
- * avg_rssi = ((avg_rssi * 7) + rssi) / 8;
- *
- * The advantage of this approach is that we only need 1 variable
- * to store the average in (No need for a count and a total).
- * But more importantly, normal average values will over time
- * move less and less towards newly added values this results
- * that with link tuning, the device can have a very good RSSI
- * for a few minutes but when the device is moved away from the AP
- * the average will not decrease fast enough to compensate.
- * The walking average compensates this and will move towards
- * the new values correctly allowing a effective link tuning,
- * the speed of the average moving towards other values depends
- * on the value for the number of samples. The higher the number
- * of samples, the slower the average will move.
- * We use two variables to keep track of the average value to
- * compensate for the rounding errors. This can be a significant
- * error (>5dBm) if the factor is too low.
