Detailed Description

Implementation of Minstrel-HT Rate Control Algorithm.

Minstrel-HT is a rate adaptation mechanism for the 802.11n/ac/ax standards 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, GI, 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 non-legacy modes are not supported, Minstrel-HT uses legacy Minstrel (minstrel-wifi-manager) for rate control.

◆ CalculateTimeUnicastPacket()

Time ns3::MinstrelHtWifiManager::CalculateTimeUnicastPacket ( Time  dataTransmissionTime,
uint32_t  shortRetries,

)
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
shortRetriesthe short retries
longRetriesthe long retries
Returns

◆ DoInitialize()

void ns3::MinstrelHtWifiManager::DoInitialize ( )
overrideprivatevirtual

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, and finally the HE 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.

dataSnrthe SNR of the DATA we sent
dataChannelWidththe channel width (in MHz) of the DATA we sent

Sampling might add some overhead to the frame. Hence, don't use sampling for the currently used rates.

Also do not sample if the probability is already higher than 95% to avoid wasting airtime.

Make sure that lower rates get sampled only occasionally, if the link is working perfectly.

Set flag that we are currently sampling.

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

1 | Random rate | Best throughput 2 | Next best throughput | Next best throughput 3 | Best probability | Best probability

Note: For clarity, multiple blocks of if's and else's are used Following implementation in Linux, in MinstrelHT lowest base rate 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.

◆ UpdateRateAfterAllowedWidth()

uint16_t ns3::MinstrelHtWifiManager::UpdateRateAfterAllowedWidth ( uint16_t  txRate,
uint16_t  allowedWidth

private

Given the index of the current TX rate, check whether the channel width is not greater than the given allowed width.

If so, the index of the current TX rate is returned. Otherwise, try halving the channel width and check if the MCS group with the same number of streams and same GI is supported. If a supported MCS group is found, return the index of the TX rate within such a group with the same MCS as the given TX rate. If no supported MCS group is found, the simulation aborts.

Parameters
txRatethe index of the current TX rate
allowedWidththe allowed width in MHz
Returns
