22 /* This is an implementation of a TX rate control algorithm that uses a PID
23 * controller. Given a target failed frames rate, the controller decides about
24 * TX rate changes to meet the target failed frames rate.
26 * The controller basically computes the following:
28 * adj = CP * err + CI * err_avg + CD * (err - last_err) * (1 + sharpening)
30 * where
31 * adj adjustment value that is used to switch TX rate (see below)
32 * err current error: target vs. current failed frames percentage
33 * last_err last error
34 * err_avg average (i.e. poor man's integral) of recent errors
35 * sharpening non-zero when fast response is needed (i.e. right after
36 * association or no frames sent for a long time), heading
37 * to zero over time
38 * CP Proportional coefficient
39 * CI Integral coefficient
40 * CD Derivative coefficient
42 * CP, CI, CD are subject to careful tuning.
44 * The integral component uses a exponential moving average approach instead of
45 * an actual sliding window. The advantage is that we don't need to keep an
46 * array of the last N error values and computation is easier.
48 * Once we have the adj value, we map it to a rate by means of a learning
49 * algorithm. This algorithm keeps the state of the percentual failed frames
50 * difference between rates. The behaviour of the lowest available rate is kept
51 * as a reference value, and every time we switch between two rates, we compute
52 * the difference between the failed frames each rate exhibited. By doing so,
53 * we compare behaviours which different rates exhibited in adjacent timeslices,
54 * thus the comparison is minimally affected by external conditions. This
55 * difference gets propagated to the whole set of measurements, so that the
56 * reference is always the same. Periodically, we normalize this set so that
57 * recent events weigh the most. By comparing the adj value with this set, we
58 * avoid pejorative switches to lower rates and allow for switches to higher
59 * rates if they behaved well.
61 * Note that for the computations we use a fixed-point representation to avoid
62 * floating point arithmetic. Hence, all values are shifted left by
63 * RC_PID_ARITH_SHIFT.
67 /* Adjust the rate while ensuring that we won't switch to a lower rate if it
68 * exhibited a worse failed frames behaviour and we'll choose the highest rate
69 * whose failed frames behaviour is not worse than the one of the original rate
70 * target. While at it, check that the new rate is valid. */
