[PATCH 4/6] wl1271: Add retry implementation for PSM entries

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

 



From: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@xxxxxxxxx>

PSM entries can fail (transmitting the corresponding null-func may not
be heard by the AP.) Previously, this scenario was not detected, and
out-of-sync between STA and AP could occur.

Add retry implementation for the entries to recover from the situation.
