[PATCHv4 0/2] cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to configure and monitor station's rssi threshold

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

 



This patchsets introduced new NL command and api to support
configuring rssi for the connected stations and api to notify
userspace application upon crossing the configured threshold.
This will be useful for the application which requires
station's current signal strength change information.
Monitoring station's signal strength through station dump command
will unnecessarily increase the system overhead. This event based
mechanism will reduce the system overhead and helps application to
take a decision for the station for which event received.
