+ *
+ * The rate scaling procedures described below work well. Of course, other
+ * procedures are possible, and may work better for particular environments.
+ *
+ *
+ * FILLING THE RATE TABLE
+ *
+ * Given a particular initial rate and mode, as determined by the rate
+ * scaling algorithm described below, the Linux driver uses the following
+ * formula to fill the rs_table[LINK_QUAL_MAX_RETRY_NUM] rate table in the
+ * Link Quality command:
+ *
+ *
+ * 1) If using High-throughput (HT) (SISO or MIMO) initial rate:
+ * a) Use this same initial rate for first 3 entries.
+ * b) Find next lower available rate using same mode (SISO or MIMO),
+ * use for next 3 entries. If no lower rate available, switch to
+ * legacy mode (no FAT channel, no MIMO, no short guard interval).
+ * c) If using MIMO, set command's mimo_delimiter to number of entries
+ * using MIMO (3 or 6).
+ * d) After trying 2 HT rates, switch to legacy mode (no FAT channel,
+ * no MIMO, no short guard interval), at the next lower bit rate
+ * (e.g. if second HT bit rate was 54, try 48 legacy), and follow
+ * legacy procedure for remaining table entries.
+ *
+ * 2) If using legacy initial rate:
+ * a) Use the initial rate for only one entry.
+ * b) For each following entry, reduce the rate to next lower available
+ * rate, until reaching the lowest available rate.
+ * c) When reducing rate, also switch antenna selection.
+ * d) Once lowest available rate is reached, repeat this rate until
+ * rate table is filled (16 entries), switching antenna each entry.
+ *
+ *
+ * ACCUMULATING HISTORY
+ *
+ * The rate scaling algorithm for 4965, as implemented in Linux driver, uses
+ * two sets of frame Tx success history: One for the current/active modulation
+ * mode, and one for a speculative/search mode that is being attempted. If the
+ * speculative mode turns out to be more effective (i.e. actual transfer
+ * rate is better), then the driver continues to use the speculative mode
+ * as the new current active mode.
+ *
+ * Each history set contains, separately for each possible rate, data for a
+ * sliding window of the 62 most recent tx attempts at that rate. The data
+ * includes a shifting bitmap of success(1)/failure(0), and sums of successful
+ * and attempted frames, from which the driver can additionally calculate a
+ * success ratio (success / attempted) and number of failures
+ * (attempted - success), and control the size of the window (attempted).
+ * The driver uses the bit map to remove successes from the success sum, as
+ * the oldest tx attempts fall out of the window.
+ *
+ * When the 4965 makes multiple tx attempts for a given frame, each attempt
+ * might be at a different rate, and have different modulation characteristics
+ * (e.g. antenna, fat channel, short guard interval), as set up in the rate
+ * scaling table in the Link Quality command. The driver must determine
+ * which rate table entry was used for each tx attempt, to determine which
+ * rate-specific history to update, and record only those attempts that
+ * match the modulation characteristics of the history set.
+ *
+ * When using block-ack (aggregation), all frames are transmitted at the same
+ * rate, since there is no per-attempt acknowledgement from the destination
+ * station. The Tx response struct iwl_tx_resp indicates the Tx rate in
+ * rate_n_flags field. After receiving a block-ack, the driver can update
+ * history for the entire block all at once.
+ *
+ *
+ * FINDING BEST STARTING RATE:
+ *
+ * When working with a selected initial modulation mode (see below), the
+ * driver attempts to find a best initial rate. The initial rate is the
+ * first entry in the Link Quality command's rate table.
+ *
+ * 1) Calculate actual throughput (success ratio * expected throughput, see
+ * table below) for current initial rate. Do this only if enough frames
+ * have been attempted to make the value meaningful: at least 6 failed
+ * tx attempts, or at least 8 successes. If not enough, don't try rate
+ * scaling yet.
+ *
+ * 2) Find available rates adjacent to current initial rate. Available means:
+ * a) supported by hardware &&
+ * b) supported by association &&
+ * c) within any constraints selected by user
+ *
+ * 3) Gather measured throughputs for adjacent rates. These might not have
+ * enough history to calculate a throughput. That's okay, we might try
+ * using one of them anyway!
+ *
+ * 4) Try decreasing rate if, for current rate:
+ * a) success ratio is < 15% ||
+ * b) lower adjacent rate has better measured throughput ||
+ * c) higher adjacent rate has worse throughput, and lower is unmeasured
+ *
+ * As a sanity check, if decrease was determined above, leave rate
+ * unchanged if:
+ * a) lower rate unavailable
+ * b) success ratio at current rate > 85% (very good)
+ * c) current measured throughput is better than expected throughput
+ * of lower rate (under perfect 100% tx conditions, see table below)
+ *
+ * 5) Try increasing rate if, for current rate:
+ * a) success ratio is < 15% ||
+ * b) both adjacent rates' throughputs are unmeasured (try it!) ||
+ * b) higher adjacent rate has better measured throughput ||
+ * c) lower adjacent rate has worse throughput, and higher is unmeasured
+ *
+ * As a sanity check, if increase was determined above, leave rate
+ * unchanged if:
+ * a) success ratio at current rate < 70%. This is not particularly
+ * good performance; higher rate is sure to have poorer success.
+ *
+ * 6) Re-evaluate the rate after each tx frame. If working with block-
+ * acknowledge, history and statistics may be calculated for the entire
+ * block (including prior history that fits within the history windows),
+ * before re-evaluation.
+ *
+ * FINDING BEST STARTING MODULATION MODE:
+ *
+ * After working with a modulation mode for a "while" (and doing rate scaling),
+ * the driver searches for a new initial mode in an attempt to improve
+ * throughput. The "while" is measured by numbers of attempted frames:
+ *
+ * For legacy mode, search for new mode after:
+ * 480 successful frames, or 160 failed frames
+ * For high-throughput modes (SISO or MIMO), search for new mode after:
+ * 4500 successful frames, or 400 failed frames
+ *
+ * Mode switch possibilities are (3 for each mode):
+ *
+ * For legacy:
+ * Change antenna, try SISO (if HT association), try MIMO (if HT association)
+ * For SISO:
+ * Change antenna, try MIMO, try shortened guard interval (SGI)
+ * For MIMO:
+ * Try SISO antenna A, SISO antenna B, try shortened guard interval (SGI)
+ *
+ * When trying a new mode, use the same bit rate as the old/current mode when
+ * trying antenna switches and shortened guard interval. When switching to
+ * SISO from MIMO or legacy, or to MIMO from SISO or legacy, use a rate
+ * for which the expected throughput (under perfect conditions) is about the
+ * same or slightly better than the actual measured throughput delivered by
+ * the old/current mode.
+ *
+ * Actual throughput can be estimated by multiplying the expected throughput
+ * by the success ratio (successful / attempted tx frames). Frame size is
+ * not considered in this calculation; it assumes that frame size will average
+ * out to be fairly consistent over several samples. The following are
+ * metric values for expected throughput assuming 100% success ratio.
+ * Only G band has support for CCK rates:
+ *

* REPLY_SCAN_CMD = 0x80 (command)

+ * The hardware scan command is very powerful; the driver can set it up to
+ * maintain (relatively) normal network traffic while doing a scan in the
+ * background. The max_out_time and suspend_time control the ratio of how
+ * long the device stays on an associated network channel ("service channel")
+ * vs. how long it's away from the service channel, i.e. tuned to other channels
+ * for scanning.
+ *
+ * max_out_time is the max time off-channel (in usec), and suspend_time
+ * is how long (in "extended beacon" format) that the scan is "suspended"
+ * after returning to the service channel. That is, suspend_time is the
+ * time that we stay on the service channel, doing normal work, between
+ * scan segments. The driver may set these parameters differently to support
+ * scanning when associated vs. not associated, and light vs. heavy traffic
+ * loads when associated.
+ *
+ * After receiving this command, the device's scan engine does the following;
+ *
+ * 1) Sends SCAN_START notification to driver
+ * 2) Checks to see if it has time to do scan for one channel
+ * 3) Sends NULL packet, with power-save (PS) bit set to 1,
+ * to tell AP that we're going off-channel
+ * 4) Tunes to first channel in scan list, does active or passive scan
+ * 5) Sends SCAN_RESULT notification to driver
+ * 6) Checks to see if it has time to do scan on *next* channel in list
+ * 7) Repeats 4-6 until it no longer has time to scan the next channel
+ * before max_out_time expires
+ * 8) Returns to service channel
+ * 9) Sends NULL packet with PS=0 to tell AP that we're back
+ * 10) Stays on service channel until suspend_time expires
+ * 11) Repeats entire process 2-10 until list is complete
+ * 12) Sends SCAN_COMPLETE notification
+ *
+ * For fast, efficient scans, the scan command also has support for staying on
+ * a channel for just a short time, if doing active scanning and getting no
+ * responses to the transmitted probe request. This time is controlled by
+ * quiet_time, and the number of received packets below which a channel is
+ * considered "quiet" is controlled by quiet_plcp_threshold.
+ *
+ * For active scanning on channels that have regulatory restrictions against
+ * blindly transmitting, the scan can listen before transmitting, to make sure
+ * that there is already legitimate activity on the channel. If enough
+ * packets are cleanly received on the channel (controlled by good_CRC_th,
+ * typical value 1), the scan engine starts transmitting probe requests.
+ *
+ * Driver must use separate scan commands for 2.4 vs. 5 GHz bands.
+ *
+ * To avoid uCode errors, see timing restrictions described under
+ * struct iwl_scan_channel.

+ * SENSITIVITY_CMD = 0xa8 (command, has simple generic response)
+ *
+ * This command sets up the Rx signal detector for a sensitivity level that
+ * is high enough to lock onto all signals within the associated network,
+ * but low enough to ignore signals that are below a certain threshold, so as
+ * not to have too many "false alarms". False alarms are signals that the
+ * Rx DSP tries to lock onto, but then discards after determining that they
+ * are noise.
+ *
+ * The optimum number of false alarms is between 5 and 50 per 200 TUs
+ * (200 * 1024 uSecs, i.e. 204.8 milliseconds) of actual Rx time (i.e.
+ * time listening, not transmitting). Driver must adjust sensitivity so that
+ * the ratio of actual false alarms to actual Rx time falls within this range.
+ *
+ * While associated, uCode delivers STATISTICS_NOTIFICATIONs after each
+ * received beacon. These provide information to the driver to analyze the
+ * sensitivity. Don't analyze statistics that come in from scanning, or any
+ * other non-associated-network source. Pertinent statistics include:
+ *
+ * From "general" statistics (struct statistics_rx_non_phy):
+ *
+ * (beacon_energy_[abc] & 0x0FF00) >> 8 (unsigned, higher value is lower level)
+ * Measure of energy of desired signal. Used for establishing a level
+ * below which the device does not detect signals.
+ *
+ * (beacon_silence_rssi_[abc] & 0x0FF00) >> 8 (unsigned, units in dB)
+ * Measure of background noise in silent period after beacon.
+ *
+ * channel_load
+ * uSecs of actual Rx time during beacon period (varies according to
+ * how much time was spent transmitting).
+ *
+ * From "cck" and "ofdm" statistics (struct statistics_rx_phy), separately:
+ *
+ * false_alarm_cnt
+ * Signal locks abandoned early (before phy-level header).
+ *
+ * plcp_err
+ * Signal locks abandoned late (during phy-level header).
+ *
+ * NOTE: Both false_alarm_cnt and plcp_err increment monotonically from
+ * beacon to beacon, i.e. each value is an accumulation of all errors
+ * before and including the latest beacon. Values will wrap around to 0
+ * after counting up to 2^32 - 1. Driver must differentiate vs.
+ * previous beacon's values to determine # false alarms in the current
+ * beacon period.
+ *
+ * Total number of false alarms = false_alarms + plcp_errs
+ *
+ * For OFDM, adjust the following table entries in struct iwl_sensitivity_cmd
+ * (notice that the start points for OFDM are at or close to settings for
+ * maximum sensitivity):
+ *
+ * START / MIN / MAX
+ * HD_AUTO_CORR32_X1_TH_ADD_MIN_INDEX 90 / 85 / 120
+ * HD_AUTO_CORR32_X1_TH_ADD_MIN_MRC_INDEX 170 / 170 / 210

+ * HD_AUTO_CORR32_X4_TH_ADD_MIN_MRC_INDEX 220 / 220 / 270

+ * (greater than 50 for each 204.8 msecs listening), reduce sensitivity
+ * by *adding* 1 to all 4 of the table entries above, up to the max for
+ * each entry. Conversely, if false alarm rate is too low (less than 5
+ * for each 204.8 msecs listening), *subtract* 1 from each entry to
+ * increase sensitivity.
+ *
+ * For CCK sensitivity, keep track of the following:
+ *
+ * 1). 20-beacon history of maximum background noise, indicated by
+ * (beacon_silence_rssi_[abc] & 0x0FF00), units in dB, across the
+ * 3 receivers. For any given beacon, the "silence reference" is
+ * the maximum of last 60 samples (20 beacons * 3 receivers).
+ *
+ * 2). 10-beacon history of strongest signal level, as indicated
+ * by (beacon_energy_[abc] & 0x0FF00) >> 8, across the 3 receivers,
+ * i.e. the strength of the signal through the best receiver at the
+ * moment. These measurements are "upside down", with lower values
+ * for stronger signals, so max energy will be *minimum* value.
+ *
+ * Then for any given beacon, the driver must determine the *weakest*
+ * of the strongest signals; this is the minimum level that needs to be
+ * successfully detected, when using the best receiver at the moment.
+ * "Max cck energy" is the maximum (higher value means lower energy!)
+ * of the last 10 minima. Once this is determined, driver must add
+ * a little margin by adding "6" to it.
+ *
+ * 3). Number of consecutive beacon periods with too few false alarms.
+ * Reset this to 0 at the first beacon period that falls within the
+ * "good" range (5 to 50 false alarms per 204.8 milliseconds rx).
+ *
+ * Then, adjust the following CCK table entries in struct iwl_sensitivity_cmd
+ * (notice that the start points for CCK are at maximum sensitivity):
+ *
+ * START / MIN / MAX
+ * HD_AUTO_CORR40_X4_TH_ADD_MIN_INDEX 125 / 125 / 200
+ * HD_AUTO_CORR40_X4_TH_ADD_MIN_MRC_INDEX 200 / 200 / 400
+ * HD_MIN_ENERGY_CCK_DET_INDEX 100 / 0 / 100
+ *
+ * If actual rate of CCK false alarms (+ plcp_errors) is too high
+ * (greater than 50 for each 204.8 msecs listening), method for reducing
+ * sensitivity is:
+ *
+ * 1) *Add* 3 to value in HD_AUTO_CORR40_X4_TH_ADD_MIN_MRC_INDEX,
+ * up to max 400.
+ *
+ * 2) If current value in HD_AUTO_CORR40_X4_TH_ADD_MIN_INDEX is < 160,
+ * sensitivity has been reduced a significant amount; bring it up to
+ * a moderate 161. Otherwise, *add* 3, up to max 200.
+ *
+ * 3) a) If current value in HD_AUTO_CORR40_X4_TH_ADD_MIN_INDEX is > 160,
+ * sensitivity has been reduced only a moderate or small amount;
+ * *subtract* 2 from value in HD_MIN_ENERGY_CCK_DET_INDEX,
+ * down to min 0. Otherwise (if gain has been significantly reduced),
+ * don't change the HD_MIN_ENERGY_CCK_DET_INDEX value.
+ *
+ * b) Save a snapshot of the "silence reference".
+ *
+ * If actual rate of CCK false alarms (+ plcp_errors) is too low
+ * (less than 5 for each 204.8 msecs listening), method for increasing
+ * sensitivity is used only if:
+ *
+ * 1a) Previous beacon did not have too many false alarms
+ * 1b) AND difference between previous "silence reference" and current
+ * "silence reference" (prev - current) is 2 or more,
+ * OR 2) 100 or more consecutive beacon periods have had rate of
+ * less than 5 false alarms per 204.8 milliseconds rx time.
+ *
+ * Method for increasing sensitivity:
+ *
+ * 1) *Subtract* 3 from value in HD_AUTO_CORR40_X4_TH_ADD_MIN_INDEX,
+ * down to min 125.
+ *
+ * 2) *Subtract* 3 from value in HD_AUTO_CORR40_X4_TH_ADD_MIN_MRC_INDEX,
+ * down to min 200.
+ *
+ * 3) *Add* 2 to value in HD_MIN_ENERGY_CCK_DET_INDEX, up to max 100.
+ *
+ * If actual rate of CCK false alarms (+ plcp_errors) is within good range
+ * (between 5 and 50 for each 204.8 msecs listening):
+ *
+ * 1) Save a snapshot of the silence reference.
+ *
+ * 2) If previous beacon had too many CCK false alarms (+ plcp_errors),
+ * give some extra margin to energy threshold by *subtracting* 8
+ * from value in HD_MIN_ENERGY_CCK_DET_INDEX.
+ *
+ * For all cases (too few, too many, good range), make sure that the CCK
+ * detection threshold (energy) is below the energy level for robust
+ * detection over the past 10 beacon periods, the "Max cck energy".
+ * Lower values mean higher energy; this means making sure that the value
+ * in HD_MIN_ENERGY_CCK_DET_INDEX is at or *above* "Max cck energy".
+ *
+ * Driver should set the following entries to fixed values:
+ *
+ * HD_MIN_ENERGY_OFDM_DET_INDEX 100
+ * HD_BARKER_CORR_TH_ADD_MIN_INDEX 190
+ * HD_BARKER_CORR_TH_ADD_MIN_MRC_INDEX 390

+/**
+ * REPLY_PHY_CALIBRATION_CMD = 0xb0 (command, has simple generic response)
+ *
+ * This command sets the relative gains of 4965's 3 radio receiver chains.
+ *
+ * After the first association, driver should accumulate signal and noise
+ * statistics from the STATISTICS_NOTIFICATIONs that follow the first 20
+ * beacons from the associated network (don't collect statistics that come
+ * in from scanning, or any other non-network source).
+ *
+ * DISCONNECTED ANTENNA:
+ *
+ * Driver should determine which antennas are actually connected, by comparing
+ * average beacon signal levels for the 3 Rx chains. Accumulate (add) the
+ * following values over 20 beacons, one accumulator for each of the chains
+ * a/b/c, from struct statistics_rx_non_phy:
+ *
+ * beacon_rssi_[abc] & 0x0FF (unsigned, units in dB)
+ *
+ * Find the strongest signal from among a/b/c. Compare the other two to the
+ * strongest. If any signal is more than 15 dB (times 20, unless you
+ * divide the accumulated values by 20) below the strongest, the driver
+ * considers that antenna to be disconnected, and should not try to use that
+ * antenna/chain for Rx or Tx. If both A and B seem to be disconnected,
+ * driver should declare the stronger one as connected, and attempt to use it
+ * (A and B are the only 2 Tx chains!).
+ *
+ *
+ * RX BALANCE:
+ *
+ * Driver should balance the 3 receivers (but just the ones that are connected
+ * to antennas, see above) for gain, by comparing the average signal levels
+ * detected during the silence after each beacon (background noise).
+ * Accumulate (add) the following values over 20 beacons, one accumulator for
+ * each of the chains a/b/c, from struct statistics_rx_non_phy:
+ *
+ * beacon_silence_rssi_[abc] & 0x0FF (unsigned, units in dB)
+ *
+ * Find the weakest background noise level from among a/b/c. This Rx chain
+ * will be the reference, with 0 gain adjustment. Attenuate other channels by
+ * finding noise difference:
+ *
+ * (accum_noise[i] - accum_noise[reference]) / 30
+ *
+ * The "30" adjusts the dB in the 20 accumulated samples to units of 1.5 dB.
+ * For use in diff_gain_[abc] fields of struct iwl_calibration_cmd, the
+ * driver should limit the difference results to a range of 0-3 (0-4.5 dB),
+ * and set bit 2 to indicate "reduce gain". The value for the reference
+ * (weakest) chain should be "0".
+ *
+ * diff_gain_[abc] bit fields:
+ * 2: (1) reduce gain, (0) increase gain
