Detailed Description

Implementation of Minstrel Rate Control Algorithm.

Minstrel is a rate control algorithm implemented in MadWifi and Linux. The basic principle is to probe the environment and adapt the rate based on statistics collected on the probability of successful transmission. The algorithm adapts the rate to the highest rate that it considers successful, and spends a fraction of its time doing 'look around' by trying other rates.

Minstrel is appropriate for non-HT configurations; for HT (i.e. 802.11n or higher), users should use MinstrelHtWifiManager instead. Minstrel will error exit if the user tries to configure it with a Wi-Fi MAC that supports 802.11n or higher.

Some notes on this implementation follow. The implementation has been adapted to bring it closer to the Linux implementation. For each rate, a new parameter samplesSkipped is added. This parameter is intended to solve an issue regarding the sampling of low rates when a high rate is working well, which leads to outdated statistics. This change makes throughput a bit lower in simple, stable scenarios, but may help in dynamic scenarios to react faster and more accurately to changes.

Related to the previous, the logic for deciding when to sample random rates is as follows. When a sample rate is deferred to the second MRR chain stage, a new parameter (numSamplesDeferred) is increased. This parameters is used (jointly with sampleCount) to compare current sample count with the lookaround rate.

Also related with sampling, another parameter sampleLimit is added. This parameter limits the number of times a very low or very high probability rate is sampled, avoiding to try a poorly working sample rate too often.

When updating the EWMA probability of a rate for the first time, it does not apply EWMA but instead assigns the entire probability. Since the EWMA probability is initialized to zero, this generates a more accurate EWMA.

◆ CalculateTimeUnicastPacket()

Time ns3::MinstrelWifiManager::CalculateTimeUnicastPacket ( Time  dataTransmissionTime,
uint32_t  shortRetries,
uint32_t  longRetries 
)
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
Parameters
dataTransmissionTimethe data transmission time
shortRetriesshort retries
longRetrieslong retries
Returns
the unicast packet time

See: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211/RateControl/minstrel/

Analysis of information showed that the system was sampling too hard at some rates. For those rates that never work (54mb, 500m range) there is no point in retrying 10 sample packets (< 6 ms time). Consequently, for the very low probability rates, we try at most twice when fails and not sample more than 4 times.
