[PATCH 10/23] P2P: Move a GO from its operating frequency

Ilan Peer ilan.peer at intel.com
Mon Jul 7 07:21:03 EDT 2014


Upon any change in the currently used channels evaluate if a GO should
move to a different operating frequency, where the possible scenarios:

1. The frequency that the GO is currently using is no longer valid,
   due to regulatory reasons, and thus the GO must be moved to some
   other frequency.
2. Due to Multi Concurrent Channel (MCC) policy considerations, it would
   be preferable, based on configuration settings, to prefer Same Channel
   Mode (SCM) over concurrent operation in multiple channels. The supported
   policies:

   - prefer SCM: prefer moving the GO to a frequency used by some other
     interface.
   - prefer SCM if Peer supports: prefer moving the GO to a frequency used
     by some other station interface iff the other station interface is using
     a frequency that is common between the local and the peer device
     (based on the GoN/Invitation signaling).
   - Stay on the current frequency.

Currently, the GO transition to another frequency is handled by a complete
tear down and re-setup of the GO. Still need to add CSA flow to the
considerations.
