[PATCHv4 2/2] mac80211: Implement API to configure station specific rssi threshold

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

 



Implement set_sta_mon_rssi_config API to configure station
specific rssi threshold value to monitor change in connected
station's signal strength. RSSI low and high threshold values
will be calculated as per the station's current signal strength,
if the configuration needs to be a fixed threshold then the user
given value will be chosen as low and high threshold.

And this patch triggers cfg80211_sta_mon_rssi_notify with the
corresponding event when station signal goes out of configured threshold.
It uses rx data signal to check against rssi threshold configured by the user.
And update the lower and upper RSSI threshold for the station if it is not
configured as a fixed threshold.

This event will be useful for the application like steering to take
decision on any station depends on its current link quality.
