Sorry for the big delay between the previous series and this one ... seems that I was too hasty with the previous one ... hope I did a better work this time :) As before, this series addresses the option of enabling additional channels for use based on the following relaxations: 1. Indoor operation, where a device can use channels requiring indoor operation, subject to that it can guarantee indoor operation. 2. Concurrent GO operation, where devices may instantiate a P2P GO while they are under the guidance of an authorized master. The series includes: * Some clarification (mainly in documentation) about the intended usage of channels marked as INDOOR_ONLY and CONCURRENT GO. * Mapping of NL80211_RFF_NO_OUTDOOR to NL80211_CHAN_INDOOR_ONLY * Support for a user hint that the platform is operating in an indoor environment, i.e., channel marked as INDOOR_ONLY can be used. * Allow initiating radiation on channel marked with INDOOR_ONLY also for scanning an frame injection in monitor mode. * Some additional fixes for comments I got. Following is an example of a possible channel map that can be used to allow the INDOOR_ONLY and CONCURRENT_GO relaxations. Note that: * Channels 12,13 are marked as Concurrent GO, so even in the lack of exact information about the current regulatory domain, these channels can be used for GO instantiation based on the concurrent GO relaxation. * The above is also true for channels 149-165 (a.k.a U-NII 3). * Channels 36-48 (a.k.a thee U-NII 1), are marked both with Concurrent GO and indoor only. While the Concurrent GO can be used as described above, the indoor only setting allows to use these channels given the platform is identified as an indoor one, i.e., media server. 2412 MHz [1] (16.0 dBm) 2417 MHz [2] (16.0 dBm) 2422 MHz [3] (16.0 dBm) 2427 MHz [4] (16.0 dBm) 2432 MHz [5] (16.0 dBm) 2437 MHz [6] (16.0 dBm) 2442 MHz [7] (16.0 dBm) 2447 MHz [8] (16.0 dBm) 2452 MHz [9] (16.0 dBm) 2457 MHz [10] (16.0 dBm) 2462 MHz [11] (16.0 dBm) 2467 MHz [12] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Concurrent GO) 2472 MHz [13] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Concurrent GO) 5180 MHz [36] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Indoor Only, Concurrent GO) 5200 MHz [40] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Indoor Only, Concurrent GO) 5220 MHz [44] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Indoor Only, Concurrent GO) 5240 MHz [48] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Indoor Only, Concurrent GO) 5260 MHz [52] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5280 MHz [56] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5300 MHz [60] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5320 MHz [64] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5500 MHz [100] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5520 MHz [104] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5540 MHz [108] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5560 MHz [112] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5580 MHz [116] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5600 MHz [120] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5620 MHz [124] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5640 MHz [128] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5660 MHz [132] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5680 MHz [136] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5700 MHz [140] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5720 MHz [144] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection) 5745 MHz [149] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Concurrent GO) 5765 MHz [153] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Concurrent GO) 5785 MHz [157] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Concurrent GO) 5805 MHz [161] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Concurrent GO) 5825 MHz [165] (16.0 dBm) (no IR, Concurrent GO) Thanks in advance, Ilan.
