[ath9k-devel] A-MPDU maximum duration in time?

According 802.11n standard, when using an A-MPDU, there is a PPDU duration constraint of 10 ms. In ath9k, the function ath_tx_form_aggr in xmit.c limits the duration of each A-MPDU to 4ms by computing the duration corresponding to the intended rate to b used. In my previous discussion on this

Maybe /sys/kernel/debug/ath9k is already present.  You may want to reboot to fix it. Yeah, it was due to the order of delete entry calls. I had included one more debugfs u8 entry which was being deleted after the directory's entry and thus not being deleted at all and on the next run it would

IMHO it makes sense to use half of the BAW for each of the queue entries under those conditions. Can you point where (which function(s)/file(s)) the two A-MPDU keeping logic is implemented? Thanks. -- Rakesh ___ ath9k-devel mailing list

Is RSSI a parameter to rate control algorithm? It seems like it is mantaining RSSI state and everything but when it comes to making the decision of what rate to choose, it does that purely by maximizing expected throughput which is a function of PER. Just curious, why the part of codes relating to

Do they represent change of directions during the development of rc.c code? I don't think I understand your question. I mean, you develop the basic stuff to implement an algorithm and then end up not using those parameters. Well I stay away from it because IMHO its pretty convoluted.

For what I recall from your previous discussion on this list, the answer is NO, it does not support HT rates on adhoc mode. But I have used my ath9k device on non-HT rates. On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 8:44 PM, hong zhang henryzhan...@yahoo.com wrote: Luis, I have a AR5008 NIC. it But does not work

No, its not something in the IEEE standard so such support won't likely get merged into mac80211. You might be able to use MCS rates in ad-hoc mode but if that's possible its just becuase we haven't fixed the code paths to not allow for it.  Luis Are you referring to Ad-hoc mode when
