2012-04-13mac80211: remove hw.conf.channel usage where possibleMichal Kazior1-3/+2
Removes hw.conf.channel usage from the following functions: * ieee80211_mandatory_rates * ieee80211_sta_get_rates * ieee80211_frame_duration * ieee80211_rts_duration * ieee80211_ctstoself_duration This is in preparation for multi-channel operation.

2012-04-10mac80211: remove channel type argument from rate_updateJohannes Berg1-11/+4
The channel type argument to the rate_update() callback isn't really the correct way to give the rate control algorithm about the desired RX bandwidth of the peer. Remove this argument, and instead update the STA capabilities with 20/40 appropriately. The SMPS update done by this callback works in the same way, so this makes the callback cleaner.

2012-03-15mac80211: Don't sample max throughput rate in minstrel_htHelmut Schaa1-0/+7
The current max throughput rate is known to be good as otherwise it wouldn't be the max throughput rate. Since rate sampling can introduce some overhead (by adding RTS for example or due to not aggregating the frame) don't sample the max throughput rate.

2012-03-12mac80211: Disable MCS > 7 in minstrel_ht when STA uses static SMPSHelmut Schaa1-0/+9
Disable multi stream rates (MCS > 7) when a STA is in static SMPS mode since it has only one active rx chain. Hence, it doesn't even make sense to sample multi stream rates. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2011-11-17mac80211: Get rid of search loop for rate group indexHelmut Schaa1-16/+16
Finding the group index for a specific rate is done by looping through all groups and returning if the correct one is found. This code is called for each tx'ed frame and thus it makes sense to reduce its runtime. Do this by calculating the group index by this formula based on the SGI and HT40 flags as well as the stream number: idx = (HT40 * 2 * MINSTREL_MAX_STREAMS) + (SGI * MINSTREL_MAX_STREAMS) + (streams - 1) Hence, the groups are ordered by th HT40 flag first, then by the SGI flag and afterwards by the number of used streams. This should reduce the runtime of minstrel_ht_get_group_idx considerable. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Acked-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-11-17mac80211: Check rate->idx before rate->countHelmut Schaa1-2/+2

2011-09-30mac80211: max_tp_rate2 management of minstrel_htLorenzo Bianconi1-0/+2
I noticed a possible issue in the max_tp_rate2 management of minstrel_ht. In particular, if we look up just among max_tp_rate2 of each group it will be possible that the selected rate will not be the mcs with second maximum throughput. I wrote this simple patch.

2011-09-14minstrel_ht: fix Open BA session request floodsChristian Lamparter1-1/+2
Minstrel HT tries very hard to establish a BA session with each peer once there's some data on the way. However the stack does not inform minstrel if an aggregation session is already in place, so it keeps trying and wastes good cycles in the tx status path.

2011-05-12mac80211: fix contention time computation in minstrel, minstrel_htDaniel Halperin1-6/+21
When transmitting a frame, the transmitter waits a random number of slots between 0 and cw. Thus, the contention time is (cw / 2) * t_slot which we can represent instead as (cw * t_slot) >> 1. Also fix a few other accounting bugs around contention time, and add comments. Signed-off-by: Daniel Halperin <dhalperi@cs.washington.edu> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2011-03-14mac80211: Shortcut minstrel_ht rate setup for non-MRR capable devicesHelmut Schaa1-7/+34
Devices without multi rate retry support won't be able to use all rates as specified by mintrel_ht. Hence, we can simply skip setting up further rates as the devices will only use the first one. Also add a special case for devices with only two possible tx rates. We use sample_rate -> max_prob_rate for sampling and max_tp_rate -> max_prob_rate by default.

Allow drivers or rate control algorithms to specify BlockAck session timeout when initiating an ADDBA transaction.

2010-10-11mac80211: minstrel_ht A-MPDU fixBjörn Smedman1-3/+4
This patch fixes two problems with the minstrel_ht rate control algorithms handling of A-MPDU frames: 1. The ampdu_len field of the tx status is not always initialized for non-HT frames (and it would probably be unreasonable to require all drivers to do so). This could cause rate control statistics to be corrupted. We now trust the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields only when the frame is marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag. 2. Successful transmission attempts where only recognized when the A-MPDU subframe carrying the rate control status information was marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK flag. If this information happed to be carried on a frame that failed to be ACKed then the other subframes (which may have succeeded) where not correctly registered. We now update rate control statistics regardless of whether the subframe carrying the information was ACKed or not.
