[PATCH 0/4] Add AP power save support

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

 



AP power save feature is enabled when the driver and hardware
supports. If the driver suppots this feature then driver will
advertise this flag SUPPORTS_AP_PS to enable the AP power save
in mac80211.

AP goes into the power save mode, if no stations are connected
and it will come out of power save as and when any of the station
associate to it. Also, during the power save tx chain mask is
reduced to 1x1 until the any station connects with more than
1x1 chain mask.

Rename NL80211_CMD_SET_BEACON to  NL80211_UPDATE_AP to make use
of this command to configure more AP parameters which can vary
at the run time of the BSS like AP power save config.

A new nl80211 attribute NL80211_ATTR_AP_PS is introduced for
this AP power save configuration from user space which is used
along with the NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_AP.
