MAC80211_RATE_C(9) The basic mac80211 driver inte ENUM MAC80211_RATE_C(9) NAME
enum_mac80211_rate_control_flags - per-rate flags set by the Rate Control algorithm. SYNOPSIS
enum mac80211_rate_control_flags { IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_RTS_CTS, IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_CTS_PROTECT, IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_SHORT_PREAMBLE, IEEE80211_TX_RC_MCS, IEEE80211_TX_RC_GREEN_FIELD, IEEE80211_TX_RC_40_MHZ_WIDTH, IEEE80211_TX_RC_DUP_DATA, IEEE80211_TX_RC_SHORT_GI, IEEE80211_TX_RC_VHT_MCS, IEEE80211_TX_RC_80_MHZ_WIDTH, IEEE80211_TX_RC_160_MHZ_WIDTH }; CONSTANTS
IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_RTS_CTS Use RTS/CTS exchange for this rate. IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_CTS_PROTECT CTS-to-self protection is required. This is set if the current BSS requires ERP protection. IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_SHORT_PREAMBLE Use short preamble. IEEE80211_TX_RC_MCS HT rate. IEEE80211_TX_RC_GREEN_FIELD Indicates whether this rate should be used in Greenfield mode. IEEE80211_TX_RC_40_MHZ_WIDTH Indicates if the Channel Width should be 40 MHz. IEEE80211_TX_RC_DUP_DATA The frame should be transmitted on both of the adjacent 20 MHz channels, if the current channel type is NL80211_CHAN_HT40MINUS or NL80211_CHAN_HT40PLUS. IEEE80211_TX_RC_SHORT_GI Short Guard interval should be used for this rate. IEEE80211_TX_RC_VHT_MCS VHT MCS rate, in this case the idx field is split into a higher 4 bits (Nss) and lower 4 bits (MCS number) IEEE80211_TX_RC_80_MHZ_WIDTH Indicates 80 MHz transmission IEEE80211_TX_RC_160_MHZ_WIDTH Indicates 160 MHz transmission (80+80 isn't supported yet) DESCRIPTION
These flags are set by the Rate control algorithm for each rate during tx, in the flags member of struct ieee80211_tx_rate. AUTHOR
