Description sebastien.deronne 2014-04-25 04:41:39 UTC

In YansWifiPhy, there is a single Configure80211n method to configure PHY layer of both 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices.

However, it only considers PHY rates for 2.4GHz devices:
- DsssRate1Mbps
- DsssRate2Mbps
- DsssRate5_5Mbps
- ErpOfdmRate6Mbps
- DsssRate11Mbps
- GetErpOfdmRate12Mbps
- ErpOfdmRate24Mbps

On the contrary, 5GHz devices should include:

- OfdmRate6Mbps
- OfdmRate12Mbps
- OfdmRate24Mbps

I provide an attached patch which configures 802.11n devices based on their operating frequency, via m_channelStartingFrequency variable.

I also wonder if all legacy rates should be included or not, wile only legacy basic rates are currently included. 
What say the standard about that? Any idea?
