[PATCHv6 5/9] nl80211: Add netlink attribute to configure TID specific tx rate

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

 



Introduce NL80211_TID_ATTR_CONFIG_TX_RATES in nl80211_tid_attr_config
to accept data TID specific TX bitrate configuration
through NL80211_CMD_SET_TID_CONFIG command. TID for which the
this configuration is to be applied is passed in
NL80211_TID_ATTR_CONFIG_TID attribute. TX bitrate mask values passed
in NL80211_ATTR_TX_RATES attribute and NL80211_TID_ATTR_CONFIG_TX_RATES
attribute will have types of the TX rate should be applied.
When the user-space wants this configuration peer specific
rather than being applied for all the connected stations,
MAC address of the peer can be passed in NL80211_ATTR_MAC attribute.

Driver supporting this feature should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_TID_TX_BITRATE_MASK and supporting per-STA data TID
TX bitrate configuration should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_STA_TX_BITRATE_MASK.
