Re: [PATCH V4 4/5] mac80211: add support for BSS coloring

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

 



The CCA (color change announcement) is very similar to how CSA works where
we have an IE that includes a counter. When the counter hits 0, the new
color is applied via an updated beacon.

This patch makes the CSA counter functionality reusable, rather than
implementing it again. This also allows for future reuse incase support
for other counter IEs gets added.

Why we are not updating the bss color information in he_oper.params.
IMHO remove the redundant information of bss color in the "struct ieee80211_bss_conf" by removing the he_bss_color since he_oper.params holds more information in u32 itself.
What do you think?
