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
