[PATCH 04/10] nl80211: Allow declaring RRM-related features

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

 



From: Assaf Krauss <assaf.krauss@xxxxxxxxx>

Radio Resource Measurement (RRM) is a bundle of features which will
require the entire stack to participate.
In this patch, the driver is given the opportunity to advertise the
device's support for these RRM-related features, using feature flags:
1. Support for Quiet IEs.
2. Support for adding DS Parameter Set IE to probe requests.
3. Support for adding WFA TPC Report IE to probe requests.
4. Support for inserting tx power value to tx-ed packets at a fixed
   offset. This is used in action frames, such as RRM's Link
   Measurement Report, where the actual tx power should be reported
   in the frame.
