22 Wireless Module Interface (WMI) Documentaion
23
24 This section describes the format and the usage model for WMI control and
25 data messages between the host and the AR6000-based targets. The header
26 file include/wmi.h contains all command and event manifest constants as
27 well as structure typedefs for each set of command and reply parameters.
28
29 Data Frames
30
31 The data payload transmitted and received by the target follows RFC-1042
32 encapsulation and thus starts with an 802.2-style LLC-SNAP header. The
33 WLAN module completes 802.11 encapsulation of the payload, including the
34 MAC header, FCS, and WLAN security related fields. At the interface to the
35 message transport (HTC), a data frame is encapsulated in a WMI message.
36
37 WMI Message Structure
38
39 The WMI protocol leverages an 802.3-style Ethernet header in communicating
40 the source and destination information between the host and the AR6000
41 modules using a 14-byte 802.3 header ahead of the 802.2-style payload. In
42 addition, the WMI protocol adds a header to all data messages:
43
44 {
45 INT8 rssi
46 The RSSI of the received packet and its units are shown in db above the
47 noise floor, and the noise floor is shown in dbm.
48 UINT8 info
49 Contains information on message type and user priority. Message type
50 differentiates between a data packet and a synchronization message.
51 } WMI_DATA_HDR
52
53 User priority contains the 802.1d user priority info from host to target. Host
54 software translates the host Ethernet format to 802.3 format prior to Tx and
55 802.3 format to host format in the Rx direction. The host does not transmit the
56 FCS that follows the data. MsgType differentiates between a regular data
57 packet (msgType=0) and a synchronization message (msgType=1).
58
59 Data Endpoints
60
61 The AR6000 chipset provides several data endpoints to support quality of
62 service (QoS) and maintains separate queues and separate DMA engines for
63 each data endpoint. A data endpoint can be bi-directional.
64
65 Best effort (BE) class traffic uses the default data endpoint (2). The host can
66 establish up to two additional data endpoints for other traffic classes. Once
67 such a data endpoint is established, it sends and receives corresponding QoS
68 traffic in a manner similar to the default data endpoint.
69
70 If QoS is desired over the interconnect, host software must classify each data
71 packet and place it on the appropriate data endpoint. The information
72 required to classify data is generally available in-band as an 802.1p/q style
73 tag or as the ToS field in the IP header. The information may also be available
74 out-of-band depending on the host DDI.
75
76 Connection States
77
78 Table B-1 describes the AR6000 WLAN connection states:
79
80 Table B-1. AR6000 Connection States
81
82 Connection State
83 Description
84
85 DISCONNECTED
86 In this state, the AR6000 device is not connected to a wireless
87 network. The device is in this state after reset when it sends the
88 WIRELESS MODULE \93READY\94 EVENT, after it processes a
89 DISCONNECT command, and when it loses its link with the
90 access point (AP) that it was connected to. The device signals a
91 transition to the DISCONNECTED state with a \93DISCONNECT\94
92 event.
93
94 CONNECTED
95 In this state, the AR6000 device is connected to wireless networks.
96 The device enters this state after successfully processing a
97 CONNECT, which establishes a connection with a wireless
98 network. The device signals a transition to the CONNECTED state
99 with a \93CONNECT\94 event.
100
101
102 Message Types
103
104 WMI uses commands, replies, and events for the control and configuration of
105 the AR6000 device. The control protocol is asynchronous. Table B-2 describes
106 AR6000 message types:
107
108 Table B-2. AR6000 Message Types
109
110 Message Type
111 Description
112
113 Commands
114 Control messages that flow from the host to the device
115
116 Replies/Events
117 Control messages that flow from the device to the host.
118
119 The device issues a reply to some WMI commands, but not to others.
120 The payload in a reply is command-specific, and some commands do
121 not trigger a reply message at all. Events are control messages issued
122 by the device to signal the occurrence of an asynchronous event.
123
124
125 WMI Message Format
126
127 All WMI control commands, replies and events use the header format:
128
129 WMI_CMD_HDR Header Format
130 {
131 UINT16 id
132 This 16-bit constant identifies which WMI command the host is issuing,
133 which command the target is replying to, or which event has occurred.
134 WMI_CMD_HDR
135 }
136
137
138 A variable-size command-, reply-, or event-specific payload follows the
139 header. Over the interconnect, all fields in control messages (including
140 WMI_CMD_HDR and the command specific payload) use 32-bit little Endian
141 byte ordering and fields are packed. The AR6000 device always executes
142 commands in order, and the host may send multiple commands without
143 waiting for previous commands to complete. A majority of commands are
144 processed to completion once received. Other commands trigger a longer
145 duration activity whose completion is signaled to the host through an event.
146
147 Command Restrictions
148
149 Some commands may only be issued when the AR6000 device is in a certain
150 state. The host is required to wait for an event signaling a state transition
151 before such a command can be issued. For example, if a command requires
152 the device to be in the CONNECTED state, then the host is required to wait
153 for a \93CONNECT\94 event before it issues that command.
154
155 The device ignores any commands inappropriate for its current state. If the
156 command triggers a reply, the device generates an error reply. Otherwise, the
157 device silently ignores the inappropriate command.
158
159 Command and Data Synchronization
160
161 WMI provides a mechanism for a host to advise the device of necessary
162 synchronization between commands and data. The device implements
163 synchronization; no implicit synchronization exists between endpoints.
164
165 The host controls synchronization using the \93SYNCHRONIZE\94 command
166 over the control channel and synchronization messages over data channels.
167 The device stops each data channel upon receiving a synchronization message
168 on that channel, processing all data packets received prior to that message.
169 After the device receives synchronization messages for each data endpoint
170 and the \93SYNCHRONIZE\94 command, it resumes all channels.
171
172 When the host must guarantee a command executes before processing new
173 data packets, it first issues the command, then issues the \93SYNCHRONIZE\94
174 command and sends synchronization messages on data channels. When the
175 host must guarantee the device has processed all old data packets before a
176 processing a new command, it issues a \93SYNCHRONIZE\94 command and
177 synchronization messages on all data channels, then issues the desired
178 command.

495 CONNECT_CMD
496
497 Synopsis
498 New connect control information (connectCtrl) is added, with 32 possible modifiers.
499
500 CONNECT_SEND_REASSOC
501 Valid only for a host-controlled connection to a
502 particular AP. If this bit is set, a reassociation frame is
503 sent. If this bit is clear, an association request frame is
504 sent to the AP.
505
506 CONNECT_IGNORE_WPAx_GROUP_CIPHER
507 No group key is issued in the CONNECT command,
508 so use the group key advertised by the AP. In a target-
509 initiated roaming situation this allows a STA to roam
510 between APs that support different multicast ciphers.
511
512 CONNECT_PROFILE_MATCH_DONE
513 In a host-controlled connection case, it is possible that
514 during connect, firmware may not have the
515 information for a profile match (e.g, when the AP
516 supports hidden SSIDs and the device may not
517 transmit probe requests during connect). By setting
518 this bit in the connection control information, the
519 firmware waits for a beacon from the AP with the
520 BSSID supplied in the CONNECT command. No
521 additional profile checks are done.
522
523 CONNECT_IGNORE_AAC_BEACON
524 Ignore the Admission Capacity information in the
525 beacon of the AP
526
527 CONNECT_ASSOC_POLICY_USER
528 When set, the CONNECT_SEND_REASSOC setting
529 determines if an Assoc or Reassoc is sent to an AP

618 host and the AR6000 device that carries a prioritized stream of data. If the AP that the
619 device connects to requires TSPEC stream establishment, the device requests the
620 corresponding TSPEC with the AP. The maximum and minimum service interval
621 ranges from 0 \96 0x7FFFFFFF (ms), where 0 = disabled. The device does not send a
622 reply event for this command, as it is always assumed the command has succeeded.
623 An AP admission control response comes to the host via a WMI_CAC_INDICATION
624 event, once the response for the ADDTS frame comes.
625
626 Examples of cases where reassociation is generated (when WMM) and cases where
627 ADDTS is generated (when WMM and enabling ACM) are when:
628 Changing UAPSD flags in WMM mode, reassociation is generated
629 Changing the interval of sending auto QoS Null frame in WMM mode;
630 reassociation is not generated
631 Issuing a command with same previous parameters in WMM mode and enabling
632 ACM, an ADDTS request is generated
633 Changing the interval of a QoS null frame sending in WMM mode and enabling
634 ACM, an ADDTS request is generated
635 Issuing the command in disconnected state, reassociation or ADDTS is not
636 generated but the parameters are available after (re)association

1296 Configures how the AR6000 device monitors and reports signal strength (RSSI) of the
1297 connected BSS, which is used as a link quality metric. The four RSSI threshold sets (in
1298 dbM) of the host specification divide the signal strength range into six segments.
1299 When signal strength increases or decreases across one of the boundaries, an
1300 RSSI_THRESHOLD event is signaled to the host. The host may then choose to take
1301 action (such as influencing roaming).

1856 Synopsis
1857 The host uses this command to configure the amount of time that the AR6000 should
1858 spend when it attempts to reestablish a connection after losing link with its current
1859 BSS. If this time limit is exceeded, the AR6000 send a \93DISCONNECT\94 event. After
1860 sending the \93DISCONNECT\94 event the AR6000 continues to attempt to reestablish a
1861 connection, but they do so at the interval corresponding to a foreground scan as
1862 established by the \93SET_SCAN_PARAMS\94 command.
1863
1864 A timeout value of 0 indicates that the AR6000 will disable all autonomous roaming,
1865 so that the AR6000 will not perform any scans after sending a \93DISCONNECT\94
1866 event to the host. The state is maintained until a shutdown or host sets different
1867 timeout value from 0.

1891 SET_FIXRATES
1892
1893 Synopsis
1894 By default, the AR6000 device uses all PHY rates based on mode of operation. If the
1895 host application requires the device to use subset of supported rates, it can set those
1896 rates with this command. In 802.11g mode, the AR6000 device takes the entire
1897 802.11g basic rate set and the rates specified with this command and uses it as the
1898 supported rate set.
1899
1900 This rate set is advertised in the probe request and the assoc/re-assoc request as
1901 supported rates. Upon successful association, the device modifies the rate set pool
1902 using the: intersection of AP-supported rates with the union of the 802.11g basic rate
1903 set and rates set using this command. The device picks transmission rates from this
1904 pool based on a rate control algorithm.

1963 delivered to the host when the host mode is awake. When host mode is asleep, only if
1964 WoW is enabled and the incoming packet matches one of the specified WoW
1965 patterns, will the packet be delivered to the host. The host will also be woken up by
1966 the target for pattern-matching packets and important events.

1987 Name
1988 SET_IBSS_PM_CAPS
1989
1990 Synopsis
1991 Used to support a non-standard power management scheme for an ad hoc wireless
1992 network consisting of up to eight stations (STAs) that support this form of power
1993 saving (e.g., Atheros-based STAs). A thorough understanding of IEEE 802.11 ad hoc
1994 networks is required to use this command effectively.
1995
1996 Command
1997 wmiconfig eth1 --ibsspmcaps --ps=<enable/disable>
1998 --aw=<ATIM Windows in ms>
1999 --ttl=<Time to live in number of beacon periods>
2000 --to=<timeout in ms>
2001
2002 Command Parameters
2003 UINT8 power_saving
2004 = 0
2005 The non-standard power saving scheme is
2006 disabled and maximum throughput (with no
2007 power saving) is obtained.
2008
2009 = 1
2010 Ad hoc power saving scheme is enabled (but
2011 throughput may be decreased)
2012
2013 UINT16 atim_windows
2014 Specifies the length (in ms) of the ad hoc traffic
2015 indication message (ATIM) windows used in an ad
2016 hoc network. All Atheros-based STAs that join the
2017 network use this duration ATIM window.
2018
2019 The duration is communicated between wireless
2020 STAs through an IE in beacons and probe responses.
2021
2022 The host sets atim_windows to control trade-offs
2023 between power use and throughput. The value
2024 chosen should be based on the beacon interval (see
2025 the \93SET_BEACON_INT\94 command) on the
2026 expected number of STAs in the IBSS, and on the
2027 amount of traffic and traffic patterns between STAs.
2028
2029 UINT16 timeout_value
2030 Specifies the timeout (in ms). The value is the same
2031 for all ad hoc connections, but tracks separately for
2032 each.
2033
2034 Applicable only for a beacon period and used to
2035 derive actual timeout values on the Tx and Rx sides.
2036 On the Tx side, the value defines a window during
2037 which the STA accepts the frame(s) from the host for a
2038 particular connection. Until closed, the window
2039 restarts with every frame received from the host. On
2040 the Rx side, indicates the time until which the STA
2041 continues accepting frames from a particular
2042 connection. The value resets with every frame
2043 received. The value can be used to determine the
2044 trade off between throughput and power.
2045 Default = 10 ms
2046
2047 UINT8 ttl
2048 Specifies the value in number of beacon periods. The
2049 value is used to set a limit on the time until which a
2050 frame is kept alive in the AR6001 before being
2051 discarded. Default = 5
2052
2053 Command Values
2054 None
2055
2056 Reset Values
2057 By default, power_saving is enabled with atim_window = 20 ms
2058
2059 Restrictions

2070 SET_LISTEN_INT
2071
2072 Synopsis
2073 The host uses this command to request a listen interval, which determines how often
2074 the AR6000 device should wake up and listen for traffic. The listen interval can be set
2075 by the TUs or by the number of beacons. The device may not be able to comply with
2076 the request (e.g., if the beacon interval is greater than the requested listen interval, the
2077 device sets the listen interval to the beacon interval). The actual listen interval used
2078 by the device is available in the \93CONNECT\94 event.
2079

2276
2277 Synopsis
2278 The host uses this command to provide the AR6000 device with guidelines on the
2279 desired trade-off between power utilization and performance.
2280
2281 In normal power mode, the device enters a sleep state if they have nothing to do,
2282 which conserves power but may cost performance as it can take up to 2 ms to
2283 resume operation after leaving sleep state.
2284
2285 In maximum performance mode, the device never enters sleep state, thus no time
2286 is spent waking up, resulting in higher power consumption and better
2287 performance.

2306 Command Values
2307 See command parameters
2308
2309 Reset Values
2310 powerMode is REC_POWER
2311
2312 Restrictions
2313 This command should only be issued in the DISCONNECTED state for the
2314 infrastructure network.
2315
2316 For a PM-disabled ad hoc network, the power mode should remain in
2317 MAX_PERF_POWER.
2318
2319 For a PM-enabled ad hoc network, the device can have REC_POWER or
2320 MAX_PERF_POWER set, but either way it must follow the power save ad hoc
2321 protocol. The host can change power modes in the CONNECTED state.
2322
2323 Host changes to the PS setting when the STA is off the home channel take no effect
2324 and cause a TARGET_PM_FAIL event.

2589 mentioned in scan period. Low RSSI scan is triggered when the current RSSI
2590 threshold (75% of current RSSI) is equal to or less than scan threshold.
2591
2592 Low RSSI roam is triggered when the current RSSI threshold falls below the roam
2593 threshold and roams to a better AP by the end of the scan cycle. During Low RSSI
2594 roam, if the STA finds a new AP with an RSSI greater than roam RSSI to floor, during
2595 scan, it roams immediately to it instead of waiting for the end of the scan cycle. See

2677 Name
2678 SET_SCAN_PARAMS
2679
2680 Synopsis
2681 The host uses this command to set the AR6000 scan parameters, including the duty
2682 cycle for both foreground and background scanning. Foreground scanning takes
2683 place when the AR6000 device is not connected, and discovers all available wireless
2684 networks to find the best BSS to join. Background scanning takes place when the
2685 device is already connected to a network and scans for potential roaming candidates
2686 and maintains them in order of best to worst. A second priority of background
2687 scanning is to find new wireless networks.
2688
2689 The device initiates a scan when necessary. For example, a foreground scan is always
2690 started on receipt of a \93CONNECT_CMD\94 command or when the device cannot find
2691 a BSS to connect to. Foreground scanning is disabled by default until receipt of a
2692 CONNECT command. Background scanning is enabled by default and occurs every
2693 60 seconds after the device is connected.
2694
2695 The device implements a binary backoff interval for foreground scanning when it
2696 enters the DISCONNECTED state after losing connectivity with an AP or when a
2697 CONNECT command is received. The first interval is ForegroundScanStartPeriod,
2698 which doubles after each scan until the interval reaches ForegroundScanEndPeriod.
2699 If the host terminates a connection with DISCONNECT, the foreground scan period
2700 is ForegroundScanEndPeriod. All scan intervals are measured from the time a full
2701 scan ends to the time the next full scan starts. The host starts a scan by issuing a
2702 \93START_SCAN\94 command. See also \93Scan and Roam\94 on page C-1.

2709 Command Parameters
2710 UINT16 fgStartPeriod
2711 First interval used by the device when it
2712 disconnects from an AP or receives a
2713 CONNECT command, specified in seconds (0\96
2714 65535). If = 0, the device uses the reset value.
2715 If = 65535, the device disables foreground
2716 scanning.
2717
2718 UINT16 fgEndPeriod
2719 The maximum interval the device waits between
2720 foreground scans specified in seconds (from
2721 ForegroundScanStartPeriod to 65535). If = 0, the
2722 device uses the reset value.
2723
2724 UINT16 bgScanPeriod
2725 The period of background scan specified in
2726 seconds (0\9665535). By default, it is set to the reset
2727 value of 60 seconds. If 0 or 65535 is specified, the
2728 device disables background scanning.
2729
2730 UINT16 maxactChDwellTime
2731 The period of time the device stays on a
2732 particular channel while active scanning. It is
2733 specified in ms (10\9665535). If the special value of
2734 0 is specified, the device uses the reset value.
2735
2736 UINT16 PasChDwellTime
2737 The period of time the device remains on a
2738 particular channel while passive scanning. It is

3264 BSSINFO
3265
3266 Synopsis
3267 Contains information describing one or more BSSs as collected during a scan.
3268 Information includes the BSSID, SSID, RSSI, network type, channel, supported rates,
3269 and IEs. BSSINFO events are sent only after the device receives a beacon or probe-
3270 response frame that pass the filter specified in the \93SET_BSS_FILTER\94 command.
3271 BSSINFO events consist of a small header followed by a copy of the beacon or probe
3272 response frame. The 802.11 header is not present. For formats of beacon and probe-
3273 response frames please consult the IEEE 802.11 specification.
3274
3275 The beacons or probe responses containing the IE specified by the
3276 WMI_BSS_FILTER_CMD are passed to the host through the
3277 WMI_BSSINFO_EVENT. The event carries a 32-bit bitmask that indicates the IEs that
3278 were detected in the management frame. The frame type field has been extended to
3279 indicate action management frames. This would be helpful to route these frames
3280 through the same event mechanism as used by the beacon processing function.
3281
3282 If the bssFilter in the SET_BSS_FILTER matches, then the ieMask is not relevant
3283 because the BSSINFO event is sent to the host. If the bssFilter doesnot match in the
3284 beacons/probe respones, then the ieMask match dictates whether the BSSINFO
3285 event is sent to the host. In the case of action management frames, the ieMask is the
3286 filter that is applied.

4043 WMI Extension Commands
4044
4045 The WMI EXTENSION command is used to multiplex a collection of
4046 commands that:
4047
4048 Are not generic wireless commands
4049 May be implementation-specific
4050 May be target platform-specific
4051 May be optional for a host implementation
4052
4053 An extension command is sent to the AR6000 targets like any other WMI
4054 command message and uses the WMI_EXTENSION. The first field of the
4055 payload for this EXTENSION command is another commandId, sometimes
4056 called the subcommandId, which indicates which extension command is
4057 being used. A subcommandId-specific payload follows the subcommandId.
4058
4059 All extensions (subcommandIds) are listed in the header file include/wmix.h.
4060 See also \93WMI Extension Events\94 on page B-58.
