[PATCH 2/4] hostapd: add RSSI based association rejection support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Beni Lev <beni.lev@xxxxxxxxx>

An AP might reject a STA association request due to low RSSI.
In such case, the AP informs the STA the desired RSSI improvement and a retry
timeout. The STA might retry to associate even if the RSSI hasn't improved
if the retry timeout expired.
