Obtaining channel measurements from current chipsets

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

 



Hi!

I'm very interested in obtaining channel measurements from current
802.11a/g/n chipsets. I know that there are indicators for signal
strength, noise floor, RSSI etc., but I'd like to get more fine-grained
measurements such as magnitude/phase of the OFDM sub-carriers.

Such information is also needed for the (optional) 802.11n "channel
state information" feature, so I suppose that the vendors include
support for it in their chipsets.

Can someone give me a hint where to look at? So far I found that
other people are interested as well [1], but I did not find any
hints in the source code of the wireless drivers or any public
available spec. [2] shows how it could look like, but unfortunately
it depends mainly on modifications to the binary-only NIC firmware.

Best Regards
Till
