Fantastic!!
I have used your initial ani patch set here, and it did help througput
etc.
- Improve beacon averaging algorithm for IBSS: Maybe we should keep track of
the average RSSI on a per-node basis and use the minimum of those in order
not to loose far away nodes? The other option would be to limit the
parameters we control similar to AP mode.
We have talked about this before. I thought that we agreed
that adhoc nodes may
a)be activated at any time
b)be positioned at an unknown distance apart
it therefore makes no sense to average the RSSI over the current nodes.
If all the current nodes in the network are close by, the ani algorithm
will wind the sensitivity down. Consequently, if a remote node is
started, it will not be able to connect. Yet, the remote node should
have been able to connect as the slot times etc were long enough,
and the link budget is fine...
So yes, the only way to
- Improve beacon averaging algorithm for IBSS:
is to turn ani off. which means the issue you raised else where of
providing reasonable userland controls (not via debugfs) becomes
important.
