[PATCH v2 0/4] wcn36xx: Add spectrum survey reporting

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

 



V2:
- Fixes typo "ret -= ENOMEM" => "ret = -ENOMEM" - kernel test bot
- Makes get_survey() static - kernel test bot
- Ignores riscv warnings since none apply to code in this patch - bod

V1:
This series enables get_survey() on wcn36xx. Tested with wcn3620 and
wcn3680b.

wcn36xx reports RSSI and SNR in the buffer descriptor of each delivered
frame wcn36xx -> host. Thus far we have only extracted RSSI but, extracting
the SNR lets us also report the noise-floor.

Adding in some background tracking of the current tuned channel lets us
flag which channel is currently in use when running "iw wlan0 survey dump"

For both wcn3620 and wcn3680b I have verified both the STA and AP's view of
RSSI and noise.

Example wcn3620:
  AP Asus RT-AX88U
    SSID: "linaro-test"
    noise: -78 dBm	Channel: 8
    BSSID: 04:D4:C4:AA:BB:CC

Bryan O'Donoghue (4):
  wcn36xx: Implement get_snr()
  wcn36xx: Track the band and channel we are tuned to
  wcn36xx: Track SNR and RSSI for each RX frame
  wcn36xx: Add SNR reporting via get_survey()
