[PATCHv6 4/9] nl80211: Add netlink attribute to enable/disable RTS_CTS

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

 



Introduce NL80211_TID_ATTR_CONFIG_RTSCTS_CTRL in nl80211_attr_tid_config
to accept TID specific RTS_CTS enable/disable configuration
through NL80211_CMD_SET_TID_CONFIG command. TID for which the
RTS_CTS control configuration is to be applied is passed in
NL80211_TID_ATTR_CONFIG_TID attribute. 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_RTSCTS_CTRL and supporting per-STA data TID
RTS_CTS configuration should advertise NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_STA_RTSCTS_CTRL.
