[v2] nl80211/cfg80211: Specify band specific min RSSI thresholds with sched scan

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

 



From: vamsi krishna <vamsin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This commit adds the support to specify the RSSI thresholds per
band for each match set. This enhances the current behavior which
specifies a single rssi_threshold across all the bands by
introducing the rssi_threshold_per_band. These per band rssi
thresholds are referred through NL80211_BAND_* (enum nl80211_band)
variables  as attribute types. Such attributes/values per each
band are nested through NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MIN_RSSI.
These band specific rssi thresholds shall take precedence over
the current rssi_thold per match set.
Drivers indicate this support through
%NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_SCHED_SCAN_BAND_SPECIFIC_RSSI_THOLD.
These per band rssi attributes/values does not specify
"default RSSI filter" as done by
NL80211_SCHED_SCAN_MATCH_ATTR_RSSI to stay backward compatible.
That said, these per band rssi values have to be specified for
the corresponding matchset.

v2:
Per band rssi thresholds were defined as global for all the
matchsets in v1. This version moves them to represent
each matchset.
