/* This is an implementation of a TX rate control algorithm that uses a PID
* controller. Given a target failed frames rate, the controller decides about
* TX rate changes to meet the target failed frames rate.
*
* The controller basically computes the following:
*
* adj = CP * err + CI * err_avg + CD * (err - last_err) * (1 + sharpening)
*
* where
* adj adjustment value that is used to switch TX rate (see below)
* err current error: target vs. current failed frames percentage
* last_err last error
* err_avg average (i.e. poor man's integral) of recent errors
* sharpening non-zero when fast response is needed (i.e. right after
* association or no frames sent for a long time), heading
* to zero over time
* CP Proportional coefficient
* CI Integral coefficient
* CD Derivative coefficient
*
* CP, CI, CD are subject to careful tuning.
*
* The integral component uses a exponential moving average approach instead of
* an actual sliding window. The advantage is that we don't need to keep an
* array of the last N error values and computation is easier.
*
* Once we have the adj value, we map it to a rate by means of a learning
* algorithm. This algorithm keeps the state of the percentual failed frames
* difference between rates. The behaviour of the lowest available rate is kept
* as a reference value, and every time we switch between two rates, we compute
* the difference between the failed frames each rate exhibited. By doing so,
* we compare behaviours which different rates exhibited in adjacent timeslices,
* thus the comparison is minimally affected by external conditions. This
* difference gets propagated to the whole set of measurements, so that the
* reference is always the same. Periodically, we normalize this set so that
* recent events weigh the most. By comparing the adj value with this set, we
* avoid pejorative switches to lower rates and allow for switches to higher
* rates if they behaved well.
*
* Note that for the computations we use a fixed-point representation to avoid
* floating point arithmetic. Hence, all values are shifted left by
* RC_PID_ARITH_SHIFT.
*/
/* Adjust the rate while ensuring that we won't switch to a lower rate if it
* exhibited a worse failed frames behaviour and we'll choose the highest rate
* whose failed frames behaviour is not worse than the one of the original rate
* target. While at it, check that the new rate is valid. */
