  20. /* This is an implementation of a TX rate control algorithm that uses a PID
  21. * controller. Given a target failed frames rate, the controller decides about
  22. * TX rate changes to meet the target failed frames rate.
  23. *
  24. * The controller basically computes the following:
  25. *
  26. * adj = CP * err + CI * err_avg + CD * (err - last_err) * (1 + sharpening)
  27. *
  28. * where
  29. * adj adjustment value that is used to switch TX rate (see below)
  30. * err current error: target vs. current failed frames percentage
  31. * last_err last error
  32. * err_avg average (i.e. poor man's integral) of recent errors
  33. * sharpening non-zero when fast response is needed (i.e. right after
  34. * association or no frames sent for a long time), heading
  35. * to zero over time
  36. * CP Proportional coefficient
  37. * CI Integral coefficient
  38. * CD Derivative coefficient
  39. *
  40. * CP, CI, CD are subject to careful tuning.
  41. *
  42. * The integral component uses a exponential moving average approach instead of
  43. * an actual sliding window. The advantage is that we don't need to keep an
  44. * array of the last N error values and computation is easier.
  45. *
  46. * Once we have the adj value, we map it to a rate by means of a learning
  47. * algorithm. This algorithm keeps the state of the percentual failed frames
  48. * difference between rates. The behaviour of the lowest available rate is kept
  49. * as a reference value, and every time we switch between two rates, we compute
  50. * the difference between the failed frames each rate exhibited. By doing so,
  51. * we compare behaviours which different rates exhibited in adjacent timeslices,
  52. * thus the comparison is minimally affected by external conditions. This
  53. * difference gets propagated to the whole set of measurements, so that the
  54. * reference is always the same. Periodically, we normalize this set so that
  55. * recent events weigh the most. By comparing the adj value with this set, we
  56. * avoid pejorative switches to lower rates and allow for switches to higher
  57. * rates if they behaved well.
  58. *
  59. * Note that for the computations we use a fixed-point representation to avoid
  60. * floating point arithmetic. Hence, all values are shifted left by
  61. * RC_PID_ARITH_SHIFT.
  62. */
  63. /* Adjust the rate while ensuring that we won't switch to a lower rate if it
  64. * exhibited a worse failed frames behaviour and we'll choose the highest rate

  66. * target. While at it, check that the new rate is valid. */
