[PATCH v2 6/8] rc80211-pid: add debugging

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

 



From: Mattias Nissler <mattias.nissler@xxxxxx>

This adds a new debugfs file from which rate control relevant events can be
read one event per line. The output includes the current time, so graphs
can be created showing the rate control parameters. This helps in
evaluating and tuning rate control parameters. While at it, we split
headers and code for better readability.

-/* This is an implementation of a TX rate control algorithm that uses a PID
- * controller. Given a target failed frames rate, the controller decides
about
- * TX rate changes to meet the target failed frames rate.
- *
- * The controller basically computes the following:
- *
- * adj = CP * err + CI * err_avg + CD * (err - last_err) * (1 + sharpening)
- *
- * where
- * 	adj	adjustment value that is used to switch TX rate (see
below)
- * 	err	current error: target vs. current failed frames
percentage
- * 	last_err	last error
- * 	err_avg	average (i.e. poor man's integral) of recent
errors
- *	sharpening	non-zero when fast response is needed (i.e.
right after
- *			association or no frames sent for a long time),
heading
- * 			to zero over time
- * 	CP	Proportional coefficient
- * 	CI	Integral coefficient
- * 	CD	Derivative coefficient
- *
- * CP, CI, CD are subject to careful tuning.
- *
- * The integral component uses a exponential moving average approach
instead of
- * an actual sliding window. The advantage is that we don't need to keep an
- * array of the last N error values and computation is easier.
- *
- * Once we have the adj value, we map it to a rate by means of a learning
- * algorithm. This algorithm keeps the state of the percentual failed
frames
- * difference between rates. The behaviour of the lowest available rate is
kept
- * as a reference value, and every time we switch between two rates, we
compute
- * the difference between the failed frames each rate exhibited. By doing
so,
- * we compare behaviours which different rates exhibited in adjacent
timeslices,
- * thus the comparison is minimally affected by external conditions. This
- * difference gets propagated to the whole set of measurements, so that the
- * reference is always the same. Periodically, we normalize this set so
that
- * recent events weigh the most. By comparing the adj value with this set,
we
- * avoid pejorative switches to lower rates and allow for switches to
higher
- * rates if they behaved well.
- *
- * Note that for the computations we use a fixed-point representation to
avoid
- * floating point arithmetic. Hence, all values are shifted left by
- * RC_PID_ARITH_SHIFT.

+/* This is an implementation of a TX rate control algorithm that uses a PID
+ * controller. Given a target failed frames rate, the controller decides
about
+ * TX rate changes to meet the target failed frames rate.
+ *
+ * The controller basically computes the following:
+ *
+ * adj = CP * err + CI * err_avg + CD * (err - last_err) * (1 + sharpening)
+ *
+ * where
+ * 	adj	adjustment value that is used to switch TX rate (see
below)
+ * 	err	current error: target vs. current failed frames
percentage
+ * 	last_err	last error
+ * 	err_avg	average (i.e. poor man's integral) of recent
errors
+ *	sharpening	non-zero when fast response is needed (i.e.
right after
+ *			association or no frames sent for a long time),
heading
+ * 			to zero over time
+ * 	CP	Proportional coefficient
+ * 	CI	Integral coefficient
+ * 	CD	Derivative coefficient
+ *
+ * CP, CI, CD are subject to careful tuning.
+ *
+ * The integral component uses a exponential moving average approach
instead of
+ * an actual sliding window. The advantage is that we don't need to keep an
+ * array of the last N error values and computation is easier.
+ *
+ * Once we have the adj value, we map it to a rate by means of a learning
+ * algorithm. This algorithm keeps the state of the percentual failed
frames
+ * difference between rates. The behaviour of the lowest available rate is
kept
+ * as a reference value, and every time we switch between two rates, we
compute
+ * the difference between the failed frames each rate exhibited. By doing
so,
+ * we compare behaviours which different rates exhibited in adjacent
timeslices,
+ * thus the comparison is minimally affected by external conditions. This
+ * difference gets propagated to the whole set of measurements, so that the
+ * reference is always the same. Periodically, we normalize this set so
that
+ * recent events weigh the most. By comparing the adj value with this set,
we
+ * avoid pejorative switches to lower rates and allow for switches to
higher
+ * rates if they behaved well.
+ *
+ * Note that for the computations we use a fixed-point representation to
avoid
+ * floating point arithmetic. Hence, all values are shifted left by
+ * RC_PID_ARITH_SHIFT.
+ */

+/* Shift the adjustment so that we won't switch to a lower rate if it
exhibited
+ * a worse failed frames behaviour and we'll choose the highest rate whose

+ * target. While at it, check that the adjustment is within the ranges.
Then,
