Description Matías Richart 2015-07-09 16:52:39 EDT

Created attachment 2091 [details]
Add maxPower and minPower variables

The initial maximal and minimal powers are wrong. In the algorithms (PARF and APARF) it is assumed that always the maximal power is the number of power levels minus one and the minimal always zero. That is not always the case for power.

I attach a patch where two variables (max and min power) are added, and its values are obtained from the phy layer.

The fix sounds ok.
