patch to improve RIFS support

There are some chunks in the code that are referring to RIFS, but it cannot be enabled.
I made a patch to improve RIFS support.

patch to improve RIFS support

Forbid RIFS for VHT STAs as per standard, and change code to use RIFS only to separate multiple transmissions from a single transmitter when no SIFS-separated response transmission is expected.

Since I am busy on ht protection mechanisms hat requires this to be implemented, I would like to drop those changes next week at the latest.

Comment 6 sebastien.deronne 2017-01-02 10:53:18 UTC
This depends on the fix for bug 2604, since we add here the possibility to reduce SIFS to RIFS between QosData frames under Block Ack policy.
Comment 7 sebastien.deronne 2017-01-27 17:15:34 UTC
I'd like to deliver those improvements in the upcoming release.
I suggest to deliver once fix for bug 2604 is pushed.
