[PATCH 0/7] cfg80211/mac80211: extend 6 GHz support for all power modes

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

 



6 GHz introduces various power modes of operation. Currently, based
on the power mode, channel's Power Spectral Density (PSD)  value as
well as channel disabled flag can change. For single interface,
current implementation works just fine. But for multi-interfaces, for
example AP-STA concurrency, two different channel context needs to be
maintained. This is because, STA power mode also depends on the AP's
power mode it is going to associate with. Hence, PSD value and channel
disabled flag might vary. In this case, same channel context cannot be
used for both AP and STA.

Therefore, to support multiple channel space for each power mode, the
6 GHz channels needs a separate storage space in data structure
ieee80211_supported_band. Because of this, the existing APIs to get the
channel/frequency from frequency/channel will not work for 6 GHz band.

Add support to store all possible 6 GHz channel pools according to the
power mode as well as add API support for getting channel/frequency info
from the new struct ieee80211_6ghz_channel.
