Agile Dynamic Frequency Selection refers to the mechanism in which DFS
scanning takes place on a separate dedicated synthesizer
(agile DFS sythesizer), while the access point receives data on a
separate channel. Once DFS scanning completes in the aDFS
synthesizer, AP can switch its primary channel to this preCAC done
channel, without Channel Availability Check of 60 seconds.
Hawkeye has native support for A-DFS unlike Cascade, which uses a
dedicated radar detector for background scanning. Each Iron radio has
two synthesizers, one of which can perform A-DFS.
Host driver configures an A-DFS channel along with maintaining
pre-CAC Done list of channels. PreCAC list caching of channels
is currently limited to ETSI domain.
Once off channel CAC completes in the agile channel, HOST receives O-CAC
complete indication. O-CAC status included as a part of event params
has information if the preCAC is successful or not. HOST also receives
indication through radar indication event handler, upon RADAR detect.
The detection is read as agile channel RADAR using the detector id value.
For SBS mode, there can be 2 pdev's which can comprise of DFS channels.
Although the preCAC list is separate for each pdev, preCAC timer is
limited to a single pdev.
The following commands are to set/get preCAC enable. Prerequisite to
enable preCAC includes regdomain to be in ETSI along with agile capability
enabled in the target.
