STRUCT 
IEEE80211_TX_(9) 				      Rate control interface					   STRUCT IEEE80211_TX_(9)

NAME

       struct_ieee80211_tx_rate_control - rate control information for/from RC algo

SYNOPSIS

       struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control {
	 struct ieee80211_hw * hw;
	 struct ieee80211_supported_band * sband;
	 struct ieee80211_bss_conf * bss_conf;
	 struct sk_buff * skb;
	 struct ieee80211_tx_rate reported_rate;
	 bool rts;
	 bool short_preamble;
	 u8 max_rate_idx;
	 u32 rate_idx_mask;
	 u8 * rate_idx_mcs_mask;
	 bool bss;
       };

MEMBERS

       hw
	   The hardware the algorithm is invoked for.

       sband
	   The band this frame is being transmitted on.

       bss_conf
	   the current BSS configuration

       skb
	   the skb that will be transmitted, the control information in it needs to be filled in

       reported_rate
	   The rate control algorithm can fill this in to indicate which rate should be reported to userspace as the current rate and used for
	   rate calculations in the mesh network.

       rts
	   whether RTS will be used for this frame because it is longer than the RTS threshold

       short_preamble
	   whether mac80211 will request short-preamble transmission if the selected rate supports it

       max_rate_idx
	   user-requested maximum (legacy) rate (deprecated; this will be removed once drivers get updated to use rate_idx_mask)

       rate_idx_mask
	   user-requested (legacy) rate mask

       rate_idx_mcs_mask
	   user-requested MCS rate mask (NULL if not in use)

       bss
	   whether this frame is sent out in AP or IBSS mode

STRUCT 
IEEE80211_RX_(9) 				  The basic mac80211 driver inte				   STRUCT IEEE80211_RX_(9)

NAME

       struct_ieee80211_rx_status - receive status

SYNOPSIS

       struct ieee80211_rx_status {
	 u64 mactime;
	 enum ieee80211_band band;
	 int freq;
	 int signal;
	 int noise;
	 int antenna;
	 int rate_idx;
	 int flag;
       };

MEMBERS

       mactime
	   value in microseconds of the 64-bit Time Synchronization Function (TSF) timer when the first data symbol (MPDU) arrived at the
	   hardware.

       band
	   the active band when this frame was received

       freq
	   frequency the radio was tuned to when receiving this frame, in MHz

       signal
	   signal strength when receiving this frame, either in dBm, in dB or unspecified depending on the hardware capabilities flags
	   IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_*

       noise
	   noise when receiving this frame, in dBm.

       antenna
	   antenna used

       rate_idx
	   index of data rate into band's supported rates or MCS index if HT rates are use (RX_FLAG_HT)

       flag

	   RX_FLAG_*

DESCRIPTION

       The low-level driver should provide this information (the subset supported by hardware) to the 802.11 code with each received frame, in the
       skb's control buffer (cb).
