This patch ports that idea over to mac80211. The basic idea is simple
enough: Whenever we dequeue a packet from the TXQs and send it to the
driver, we estimate its airtime usage, based on the last recorded TX rate
of the station that packet is destined for.

The way to decide the last recorded TX rate could be vary among drivers. In terms of ath10k driver and FW, they use 4 PPDUs to update the Tx rate. Isn't it too small sampling number to be used for AQL?

Probably it is not exactly the last 4 either, since the report comes back indirectly and not
synchronized with the tx path?

The point of my question is "the last recorded Tx raith small nte is derived wumber of PPDUs and if it's ok to use it for AQL calculation or not".

Thanks,

Peter
