[PATCH 07/15] wil6210: basic PBSS/PCP support

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

 



From: Lior David <qca_liord@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

PBSS (Personal Basic Service Set) is a new BSS type for DMG
networks. It is similar to infrastructure BSS, having an AP-like
entity called PCP (PBSS Control Point), but it has few differences.
For example, stations inside a PBSS can communicate directly, and
the PCP role can be transferred between stations.

This change adds PBSS support, and has 2 main parts:
1. When starting an AP, add an option to start as a PCP instead.
This is implemented by a new PBSS flag which is passed as part of
the cfg80211_ap_settings structure.
2. When connecting to a BSS, add an option to connect to a PCP
instead of an AP. This is again implemented by a new PBSS flag,
added to the cfg80211_connect_params structure.
