STRUCT IEEE80211_RX_(9) The basic mac80211 driver inte STRUCT IEEE80211_RX_(9)

NAME

struct_ieee80211_rx_status - receive status

SYNOPSIS

struct ieee80211_rx_status {
  u64 mactime;
  enum ieee80211_band band;
  int freq;
  int signal;
  int antenna;
  int rate_idx;
  int flag;
  unsigned int rx_flags;
};

MEMBERS

mactime
value in microseconds of the 64-bit Time Synchronization Function (TSF) timer when the first data symbol (MPDU) arrived at the hardware.
band
the active band when this frame was received
freq
frequency the radio was tuned to when receiving this frame, in MHz
signal
signal strength when receiving this frame, either in dBm, in dB or unspecified depending on the hardware capabilities flags IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_*
antenna
antenna used
rate_idx
index of data rate into band's supported rates or MCS index if HT rates are use (RX_FLAG_HT)
flag
 
RX_FLAG_*
rx_flags
internal RX flags for mac80211

DESCRIPTION

The low-level driver should provide this information (the subset supported by hardware) to the 802.11 code with each received frame, in the skb's control buffer (cb).
