Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht: reduce fluctuations in rate
|
|
probability stats
|
|
|
|
In some scenarios when there is a lot of fluctuation in packet error rates,
|
|
rate switching can be amplified when the statistics get skewed by time slots
|
|
with very few tries.
|
|
Make the input data to the moving average more smooth by adding the
|
|
success/attempts count from the last stats window as well. This has the
|
|
advantage of smoothing the data without introducing any extra lag to sampling
|
|
rates.
|
|
This significantly improves rate stability on a strong test link subjected to
|
|
periodic noise bursts generated with a SDR
