The mcs
field indicates the MCS rate index as in
IEEE_802.11n-2009
The known
field indicates which information is known:
flag | definition |
0x01 | bandwidth |
0x02 | MCS index known (in mcs part of the field) |
0x04 | guard interval |
0x08 | HT format |
0x10 | FEC type |
0x20 | STBC known |
0x40 | Ness known (Number of extension spatial streams) |
0x80 | Ness data - bit 1 (MSB) of Number of extension spatial streams |
The flags
field is any combination of the following:
flag | definition |
0x03 | bandwidth - 0: 20, 1: 40, 2: 20L, 3: 20U |
0x04 | guard interval - 0: long GI, 1: short GI |
0x08 | HT format - 0: mixed, 1: greenfield |
0x10 | FEC type - 0: BCC, 1: LDPC |
0x60 | Number of STBC streams |
0x80 | Ness - bit 0 (LSB) of Number of extension spatial streams |
