[PATCH 0/8 v3] mac80211/iwlwifi: integrate IEEE802.11n A-MPDU Rx MLME

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

 



This series of patches contains implementation for the IEEE802.11n 
aggregated MPDUs (A-MPDU) MLME. The series handles Rx A-MPDU (recipient party).

Patches needed:
===============
"mac80211: pass in PS_POLL frames"
"mac80211: restructure _ieee80211_rx"
both accepted as stand alone patches.

Notes to this series:
======================
This series of patches splits into:
 - patches 1-7 add 802.11n Rx A-MPDU MLME support to mac80211.
 - patch 8 demonstrates the use of the above mac80211's MLME through iwl4965 low level driver

The patches in the series should not be treated as stand alone patches,
but as a complete MLME according to IEEE802.11n spec, although separation
to patches by subjects was made for ease of handling.

The patches do _not_ break any existing driver.
Patches were made (and tested to work) with wireless branch 2.6.24-rc5 (#everything)

The MLME framework includes the following:
- A-MPDU MLME (for aggregated Rx per STA/TID)
- addBA request support.
- delBA request support (recipient party).
- Block Ack Request (BAR) support.
- A-MPDU reordering.
