2015-04-01mac80211: add max lossless throughput per rateThomas Huehn1-1/+2
This patch adds the new statistic "maximum possible lossless throughput" to Minstrels and Minstrel-HTs rc_stats (in debugfs). This enables comprehensive comparison between current per-rate throughput and max. achievable per-rate throughput.

2015-04-01mac80211: restructure per-rate throughput calculation into functionThomas Huehn1-0/+1
This patch moves Minstrels and Minstrel-HTs per-rate throughput calculation (EWMA(thr)) into a dedicated function to be called. Therefore the variable "unsigned int cur_tp" within struct "minstrel_rate_stats" becomes obsolete. and is removed to free up its space.

2015-04-01mac80211: improve Minstrel variable & function namingThomas Huehn1-1/+1
This patch ensures a consistent usage of variable names for type "minstrel_rate_stats" to be used as "mrs" and from type minstrel_rate as "mr" across both Minstrel & Minstrel-HT. In addition some variable and function names got changed to more meaningful ones.

2014-10-21mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates <= 3SS@80MHzKarl Beldan1-2/+15
When the new CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is not set (default 'N'), there is no behavioral change including in sampling and MCS_GROUP_RATES remains 8. Otherwise MCS_GROUP_RATES is 10, and a module parameter *vht_only* (default 'true'), restricts the rates selection to VHT when VHT is supported. Regarding the debugfs stats buffer: It is explicitly increased from 8k to 32k to fit every rates incl. when both HT and VHT rates are enabled, as for the format, before: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) after: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) VHT40/LGI MCS5/2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0( 0) Signed-off-by: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com> Cc: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2014-10-20mac80211: minstrel_ht: Increase the range of handled rate indexesKarl Beldan1-4/+4
Since 5935839ad735 ("mac80211: improve minstrel_ht rate sorting by throughput & probability"), the rate indexes are manipulated via u8's and hence allow for a maximum of 256 mcs_group entries in minstrel_mcs_groups. ATM, minstrel_ht advertizes support up to 3HTSS@40MHz, consuming: 8(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW)+1(CCK)), i.e. 104 entries. Support for 3VHTSS@80MHz will require: 10(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW)+1(CCK)) + 10(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*3(BW)), i.e. 130 + 180 entries. This change moves from u8s to u16s where necessary.

2014-09-11mac80211: improve minstrel_ht rate sorting by throughput & probabilityThomas Huehn1-13/+6
This patch improves the way minstrel_ht sorts rates according to throughput and success probability. 3 FOR-loops across the entire rate and mcs group set in function minstrel_ht_update_stats() which where used to determine the fastest, second fastest and most robust rate are reduced to 2 FOR-loop. The sorted list of rates according throughput is extended to the best four rates as we need them in upcoming joint rate and power control. The sorting is done via the new function minstrel_ht_sort_best_tp_rates(). The annotation of those 4 best throughput rates in the debugfs file rc-stats is changes to: "A,B,C,D", where A is the fastest rate and C the 4th fastest.

2014-09-11mac80211: Unify rate statistic variables between Minstrel & Minstrel_HTThomas Huehn1-22/+0
Minstrel and Mintrel_HT used there own structs to keep track of rate statistics. Unify those variables in struct minstrel_rate_states and move it to rc80211_minstrel.h for common usage. This is a clean-up patch to prepare Minstrel and Minstrel_HT codebase for upcoming TPC.

2013-03-06mac80211/minstrel_ht: increase sampling frequency of some slower ratesFelix Fietkau1-0/+1
If a rate is below the max_tp_rate, sample it frequently if: - it is above max_tp_rate2, or - it is above max_prob_rate and is a candidate for max_prob_rate (has fewer streams than max_tp_rate). This helps the retry chain recover more quickly from bad statistics caused by collisions or interference, and slightly reduces throughput fluctuations with higher rates.

2013-02-13mac80211/minstrel_ht: add support for using CCK ratesFelix Fietkau1-1/+4
When MCS rates start to get bad in 2.4 GHz because of long range or strong interference, CCK rates can be a lot more robust. This patch adds a pseudo MCS group containing CCK rates (long preamble in the lower 4 slots, short preamble in the upper slots).
