Detailed Description

Implementation of Minstrel HT Rate Control Algorithm

Minstrel-HT is a rate adaptation mechanism for the 802.11n/ac standard based on Minstrel, and is based on the approach of probing the channel to dynamically learn about working rates that can be supported.

Minstrel-HT is designed for high-latency devices that implement a Multiple Rate Retry (MRR) chain. This kind of device does not give feedback for every frame retransmission, but only when a frame was correctly transmitted (an ACK is received) or a frame transmission completely fails (all retransmission attempts fail). The MRR chain is used to advise the hardware about which rate to use when retransmitting a frame.

Minstrel-HT adapts the MCS, channel width, number of streams, and short guard interval (enabled or disabled). For keeping statistics, it arranges MCS in groups, where each group is defined by the tuple (#streams, SGI, channel width). There is a vector of all groups supported by the PHY layer of the transmitter; for each group, the capabilities and the estimated duration of its rates are maintained.

Each station maintains a table of groups statistics. For each group, a flag indicates if the group is supported by the station. Different stations communicating with an AP can have different capabilities.

Stats are updated per A-MPDU when receiving AmpduTxStatus. If the number of successful or failed MPDUs is greater than zero (a BlockAck was received), the rates are also updated. If the number of successful and failed MPDUs is zero (BlockAck timeout), then the rate selected is based on the MRR chain.

On each update interval, it sets the maxThrRate, the secondmaxThrRate and the maxProbRate for the MRR chain. These rates are only used when an entire A-MPDU fails and is retried.

Differently from legacy minstrel, sampling is not done based on "lookaround ratio", but assuring all rates are sampled at least once each interval. However, it samples less often the low rates and high probability of error rates.

When this rate control is configured but HT and VHT are not supported, Minstrel-HT uses legacy Minstrel (minstrel-wifi-manager) for rate control.

IsLowLatency: If true, we attempt to modelize a so-called low-latency device: a device where decisions about tx parameters can be made on a per-packet basis and feedback about the transmission of each packet is obtained before sending the next. Otherwise, we modelize a high-latency device, that is a device where we cannot update our decision about tx parameters after every packet transmission.

private

Estimate the time to transmit the given packet with the given number of retries.

This function is "roughly" the function "calc_usecs_unicast_packet" in minstrel.c in the madwifi implementation.

The basic idea is that, we try to estimate the "average" time used to transmit the packet for the given number of retries while also accounting for the 802.11 congestion window change. The original code in the madwifi seems to estimate the number of backoff slots as the half of the current CW size.

There are four main parts:

wait for DIFS (sense idle channel)
ACK timeouts
DATA transmission
backoffs according to CW

void ns3::MinstrelHtWifiManager::CheckInit ( MinstrelHtWifiRemoteStation * station )

void ns3::MinstrelHtWifiManager::DoInitialize ( void )

Initialize() implementation.

This method is called only once by Initialize(). If the user calls Initialize() multiple times, DoInitialize() is called only the first time.

Subclasses are expected to override this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. It is safe to call GetObject() and AggregateObject() from within this method.

Here we initialize m_minstrelGroups with all the possible groups. If a group is not supported by the device, then it is marked as not supported. Then, after all initializations are finished, we check actual support for each receiving station.

Initialize the groups array. The HT groups come first, then the VHT ones. Minstrel maintains different types of indexes:

A global continuous index, which identifies all rates within all groups, in [0, m_numGroups * m_numRates]
A groupId, which indexes a group in the array, in [0, m_numGroups]
A rateId, which identifies a rate within a group, in [0, m_numRates]
A deviceIndex, which indexes a MCS in the phy MCS array.
A mcsIndex, which indexes a MCS in the wifi-remote-station-manager supported MCSs array.

Is SGI supported by the transmitter?

Is channel width supported by the transmitter?

Are streams supported by the transmitter?

Typically called per A-MPDU, either when a Block ACK was successfully received or when a BlockAckTimeout has elapsed.

This method is a virtual method that must be implemented by the sub-class intended to handle A-MPDUs. This allows different types of WifiRemoteStationManager to respond differently.

Parameters

station	the station that sent the DATA to us
nSuccessfulMpdus	number of successfully transmitted MPDUs. A value of 0 means that the Block ACK was missed.

rxSnr	received SNR of the block ack frame itself

Retry Chain table is implemented here.

FIXME Currently, NS3 does not retransmit an entire A-MPDU when BACK is missing but retransmits each MPDU until MPDUs lifetime expires (or a BACK is received). Then, there is no way to control A-MPDU retries (no call to NeedDataRetransmission). So, it is possible that the A-MPDU keeps retrying after longRetry reaches its limit.

Try | LOOKAROUND RATE | NORMAL RATE

Note: For clarity, multiple blocks of if's and else's are used Following implementation in Linux, in MinstrelHT Lowest baserate is not used. Explanation can be found here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=144602778611966&w=2

Get the ids for all rates.

For normal rate, we're not currently sampling random rates.

Use best throughput rate.

< There are still a few retries.
