-Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht: significantly redesign the rate
- probing strategy
-
-The biggest flaw in current minstrel_ht is the fact that it needs way too
-many probing packets to be able to quickly find the best rate.
-Depending on the wifi hardware and operating mode, this can significantly
-reduce throughput when not operating at the highest available data rate.
-
-In order to be able to significantly reduce the amount of rate sampling,
-we need a much smarter selection of probing rates.
-
-The new approach introduced by this patch maintains a limited set of
-available rates to be tested during a statistics window.
-
-They are split into distinct categories:
-- MINSTREL_SAMPLE_TYPE_INC - incremental rate upgrade:
- Pick the next rate group and find the first rate that is faster than
- the current max. throughput rate
-- MINSTREL_SAMPLE_TYPE_JUMP - random testing of higher rates:
- Pick a random rate from the next group that is faster than the current
- max throughput rate. This allows faster adaptation when the link changes
- significantly
-- MINSTREL_SAMPLE_TYPE_SLOW - test a rate between max_prob, max_tp2 and
- max_tp in order to reduce the gap between them
-
-In order to prioritize sampling, every 6 attempts are split into 3x INC,
-2x JUMP, 1x SLOW.
-
-Available rates are checked and refilled on every stats window update.
-
-With this approach, we finally get a very small delta in throughput when
-comparing setting the optimal data rate as a fixed rate vs normal rate
-control operation.
-
