1273 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1274 *
1275 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1276 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1277 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1278 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1279 *
1280 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1281 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1282 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1283 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1284 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1285 * hardware flags.
1286 *
1287 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1288 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1289 * turned off otherwise.
1290 *
1291 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1292 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1293 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1294 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
