 * Robust Rate and Power Adaptation Algorithm
 *
 * This class implements the RRPAA algorithm as described in <i>Rate, Power and Carrier-Sense
 * Threshold Coordinated Management for High-Density IEEE 802.11 Networks</i>
 * by Matías Richart; Jorge Visca and Javier Baliosian in Integrated Network Management (IM),
 * 2015 IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on (pp. 139-146). IEEE.
 * https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7140286
 *
 * RRPAA adds power control to the RRAA mechanism. RRAA is described in
 * <i>Robust rate adaptation for 802.11 wireless networks</i> by Starsky H. Y. Wong;
 * Hao Yang; Songwu Lu and Vaduvur Bharghavan in Proceedings of the 12th annual
 * international conference on Mobile computing and networking (pp. 146-157). ACM.
 * http://ocw.cs.pub.ro/courses/_media/isrm/articole/rrate_adapt_mobicom06.pdf
 *
 * This RAA does not support HT modes and will error
 * exit if the user tries to configure this RAA with a Wi-Fi MAC
 * that supports 802.11n or higher.
