2014-05-06iwlwifi: mvm: rs: choose correct expected tpt tableEyal Shapira1-1/+1
The expected throughput table used when estimating a new column depends on the channel bandwidth. When switching from legacy to siso or mimo the wrong expected throughput table was used as it was chosen based on the the channel bandwidth in legacy which is always 20Mhz. Instead it should be chosen based on the current sta bandwidth which could be also 40Mhz or 80Mhz. When enabling MCS9 this bug leads to a problem where the max expected throughput of the siso or mimo column is 0 as MCS9 isn't supported in 20Mhz. This in turns prevents switching to siso or mimo. Fix this by using the sta bandwidth when deciding which table to choose. Signed-off-by: Eyal Shapira <eyalx.shapira@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

2014-05-06iwlwifi: mvm: rs: overhaul rs_get_best_rateEyal Shapira1-86/+31
rs_get_best_rate determines the optimal rate to try in a new Tx column. Currently we were sometimes trying a too high rate which would lead us to fail and avoid switching to the new column despite it having a potential to be better. Change the logic to try and find the first rate which would exceed the current actual throughput or be more aggressive if the success ratio is good.

7000 device series have a fix for this hardware feature. Stop disabling it, and get an improvement in Tx throughput. This feature allows the scheduler to fetch more frames on the fly while an A-MPDU is being built - which means that we can get larger A-MPDU.

2014-04-13iwlwifi: mvm: Add support for Energy based scan (EBS)Haim Dreyfuss6-6/+37
This patch enables Energy Based Scan (EBS) - intended to detect energy on 5 GHz band channels. Passive scan on this band takes up to 2.64 sec assuming 110mSec per-channel * 24 channels. EBS is designed to detect energy on channels with intensive Wifi activity as well as those where only beacons are transmitted. EBS completes sampling all channels within shortest beacon frame transmission time. Total EBS duration is about 100 msec (typical beacon interval). Detecting Wifi activity on 5 GHz band channels can significantly reduce scan duration thus saving time and power. EBS failure reported by FW disables EBS for current connection. It is re-enabled upon new connection attempt on any WLAN interface.

Allow switching back to legacy Tx columns so we'll stop doing HT/VHT in case we're far from the AP. Stop active aggregation when making a deciding to stay in a legacy column. Despite having low legacy rates in the LQ table lower entries it doesn't help much in case we're doing aggregations as the aggregation was being transmitted in the initial rate of the table.

2014-04-13iwlwifi: mvm: rs: reinit rs if no tx for a long timeEyal Shapira2-1/+22
After being idle for a long time (>5sec) the rs statistics will be stale so we prefer to reset rs and start from legacy rates again. This gives better results when the attenuation increased signficantly (e.g. we got further from the AP) and after a while we start Tx Note that the first Tx after the idle period will still go out in the old modulation and rate but this seemed a simpler approach compared to adding a timer or modifying mac80211 for this. The negative impact is negligble as we'll recover quickly.
