[ath9k]: Beaconing process in ad-hoc mode

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

 



Dear All,

I am working in a project where I need to modified the currently beaconing
system for adhoc mode in ath9k, what I want to achieve is that each station
in an adhoc network send periodically a beacon. As I know, when a station in
the network receives a beacon before sending its own beacon, cancels the
transmission, updates its hw tsf based on the received beacon and waits for
a chance to send the beacon during next TBTT.

For my goal, I think that I should comment the part where the transmission
of the beacon is cancelled. In this way, each station will send a beacon
each 100TU (~100 ms). I know that this mean a increased traffic load on the
network, but it is so much important for the project to obtain a beacon for
each station each 100ms.

Right now, I am looking at the source code of ath9k, I am trying to modify
the file beacon.c, but I don?t find the way to get my purpose. Could anyone
help me to find the right place at the code that I have to modify? I am a
bit lost and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

PD: Please excuse my poor English

John
