Subject: [ath9k-devel] The operation of Minstrel_ht
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2014 10:40:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5437EFDB.4000202@mailservices.uwaterloo.ca> (raw)

Hello,


I have a few questions about the operation of Minstrel_ht. I couldn't 
find a good reference that
explains minstrel_ht. I tried to understand it by reading the code. The 
fact that frame aggregation
was added to the picture confuses me a bit. I understand the multirate 
retry chain in Minstrel (802.11g).

1- Since the hardware only reties the frame when no block ack is 
received (phy header damage)
(is this correct?), do we still use the multirate retry chain with frame 
aggregation?

2- Is it possible to disable hardware retries?

3- Is software retry defined for an individual MPDU? Is this the number 
of times an MPDU
is rescheduled for transmission?


Thank you in advance.

Best,
Ali
