+
+config MADWIFI_RCA_ONOE
+ bool "Use the Onoe rate control algorithm"
+ help
+ Onoe is a credit based RCA where the value of the credit is determined
+ by the frequency of successful, erroneous and retransmissions
+ accumulated during a fixed invocation period of 1000 ms. If less than
+ 10% of the packets need to be retransmitted at a particular rate, Onoe
+ keeps increasing its credit point till the threshold value of 10 is
+ reached. At this point, the current transmission rate is increased to
+ the next available higher rate and the process repeated with credit
+ score of zero. Similar logic holds for deducting the credit score and
+ moving to a lower bit-rate for failed packet
+ transmission/retransmission attempts. However, once a bit-rate has
+ been marked as failure in the previous attempt, Onoe will not attempt
+ to select that bit-rate until 10 seconds have elapsed since the last
+ attempt. Due to the manner in which it operates, Onoe is conservative
+ in rate selection and is less sensitive to individual packet failure.
+
+config MADWIFI_RCA_AMRR
+ bool "Use the AMRR rate control algorithm"
+ help
+ AMRR uses Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) technique to adapt the
+ length (threshold) of the sampling period used to change the values of
+ bit-rate and transmission count parameters. It uses probe packets and
+ depending on their transmission status adaptively changes the threshold
+ value. The adaptation mechanism ensures fewer failed
+ transmission/retransmission and higher throughput by not switching to a
+ higher rate as specified by the backoff mechanism. In addition to this,
+ the AMRR employs heuristics to capture the short-term variations of the
+ channel by judiciously setting the rate and transmission count
+ parameters.
+
+config MADWIFI_RCA_SAMPLERATE
+ bool "Use the SampleRate rate control algorithm"
+ help
+ SampleRate decides on the transmission bit-rate based on the past
+ history of performance; it keeps a record of the number of successive
+ failures, the number of successful transmits and the total transmission
+ time along with the destination for that bit-rate. Stale samples are
+ removed based on a EWMA windowing mechanism. If in the sampling
+ process, no successful acknowledgment is received or the number of
+ packets sent is multiple of 10 on a specific link, it transmits the
+ packet with the highest rate which has not failed 4 successive times.
+ Other than that it transmits packets at the rate which has the lowest
+ average transmission time.
