*
|
||||
* The hardware scan command is very powerful; the driver can set it up to
|
||||
* maintain (relatively) normal network traffic while doing a scan in the
|
||||
* background. The max_out_time and suspend_time control the ratio of how
|
||||
* long the device stays on an associated network channel ("service channel")
|
||||
* vs. how long it's away from the service channel, tuned to other channels
|
||||
* for scanning.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* max_out_time is the max time off-channel (in usec), and suspend_time
|
||||
* is how long (in "extended beacon" format) that the scan is "suspended"
|
||||
* after returning to the service channel. That is, suspend_time is the
|
||||
* time that we stay on the service channel, doing normal work, between
|
||||
* scan segments. The driver may set these parameters differently to support
|
||||
* scanning when associated vs. not associated, and light vs. heavy traffic
|
||||
* loads when associated.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* After receiving this command, the device's scan engine does the following;
|
||||
*
|
||||
* 1) Sends SCAN_START notification to driver
|
||||
* 2) Checks to see if it has time to do scan for one channel
|
||||
* 3) Sends NULL packet, with power-save (PS) bit set to 1,
|
||||
* to tell AP that we're going off-channel
|
||||
* 4) Tunes to first channel in scan list, does active or passive scan
|
||||
* 5) Sends SCAN_RESULT notification to driver
|
||||
* 6) Checks to see if it has time to do scan on *next* channel in list
|
||||
* 7) Repeats 4-6 until it no longer has time to scan the next channel
|
||||
* before max_out_time expires
|
||||
* 8) Returns to service channel
|
||||
* 9) Sends NULL packet with PS=0 to tell AP that we're back
|
||||
* 10) Stays on service channel until suspend_time expires
|
||||
* 11) Repeats entire process 2-10 until list is complete
|
||||
* 12) Sends SCAN_COMPLETE notification
|
||||
*
|
||||
* For fast, efficient scans, the scan command also has support for staying on
|
||||
* a channel for just a short time, if doing active scanning and getting no
|
||||
* responses to the transmitted probe request. This time is controlled by
|
||||
* quiet_time, and the number of received packets below which a channel is
|
||||
* considered "quiet" is controlled by quiet_plcp_threshold.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* For active scanning on channels that have regulatory restrictions against
|
||||
* blindly transmitting, the scan can listen before transmitting, to make sure
|
||||
* that there is already legitimate activity on the channel. If enough
|
||||
* packets are cleanly received on the channel (controlled by good_CRC_th,
|
||||
* typical value 1), the scan engine starts transmitting probe requests.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Driver must use separate scan commands for 2.4 vs. 5 GHz bands.
