main: disable probe steering by default

2022-06-28T00:27:20Z

As probe steering only makes sense in specific deployments, it should be disabled by default. Update the example config to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel Acked-by: David Bauer

usteer: add option for probe steering

2022-06-28T00:27:13Z

Probe suppression is mostly useful in high density deployments, where all APs responding to all client probes would result in all channels being saturated. It effectively hides APs from clients, and can cause problems in normal density deployments. Add an option for it, so it can be disabled. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel Acked-by: David Bauer

main: disable load balancing by default

2022-06-28T00:27:02Z

As load-balancing only makes sense in specific deployments, it should be disabled by default. Update the example config to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel Acked-by: David Bauer

local-node: periodically send link-measurement requests

2022-04-04T15:08:07Z

Send link-measurement requests to every supporting local-sta in order to acquire information to assess the link-quality bi-directional. The link-measurement request is sent each configurable interval. It can be disabled by configuring the interval to 0. Signed-off-by: David Bauer

band-steering: add band-steering component

2022-03-18T20:46:29Z

This adds a new band-steering component to usteer. With band-steering enabled, usteer will attempt to move clients with a consistently good SNR / signal from 2.4 GHz to the 5 GHz band. In contrast to existing policies usteer tracks, band-steering is non-invasive and will not lead to forceful connection termination. Signed-off-by: David Bauer

policy: add steer-reject-timeout

2022-03-18T20:46:29Z

Add a timeout in case a STA rejected a transition request. For this configurable timeframe, usteer will refrain from steering the client another time. Signed-off-by: David Bauer

add local_mode config option

2022-03-17T09:05:56Z

This prevents communication with other usteer nodes and allows it to be used for purely local band steering / load balancing Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau

local-node: convert kick-dely to absolute time

measurement: add handling of measurements

2022-02-03T21:50:13Z

Add logic for saving measurement-reports from STAs. This commit does not yet save the measurement-reports received from clients but adds the necessary code to do so. Currently the codes can only handle beacon-reports, but link measurements can be added to it in the future. It also adds the new config-key measurement_report_timeout which controls how long measurements are saved upon they are received by a STA. Signed-off-by: David Bauer

policy: add min_snr_kick_delay

2022-02-01T17:41:57Z

Currently the min_snr option will result in kicking clients the first time their SNR dips below. This might not be desirable, as drivers (notably ath10k) sometimes report a much lower RSSI for a short timeframe after returning to sensible values. Also, a device might be in the process of roaming just to be kicked before. Add the min_snr_kick_delay option. A client will be kicked after this timeframe when it's SNR is below the min_snr threshold value over the complete timeframe. Signed-off-by: David Bauer
