Hi everyone,
Nowadays most of the smartphones and laptops (Windows and Linux) provide the
link speed information to the users, either to allow them to choose the most
suitable network to connect to as well as (After having got connected) to show
the current link speed. Unfortunately, this is something not provided by
ConnMan yet.
Looking at the information we have inside ConnMan to implement such a feature,
we found that we already have everything to do this. First of all,
wpa_supplicant provides the list of BSS supported rates from which we could
know if a BSS supports "b", "g" or "a", to distinguish between "g" or "a" we
can just check the band for dual-band APs cases.
After that, the only missing information is to know whether "n" and "ac" are
also supported, to do that we could take advantage of the IEs provided by the
wpa_supplicant, there we just would have to check the presence of the VHT and
HT capabilities.
Finally, by combining information from BSSs using the same SSID we would be
able to provide speed information supported by each service: "a", "b", "g", "n"
and "ac".
What do you think, would it be interesting? We would like to implement this
feature and propose it to the community; any suggestion is welcome!
Regards,
Jose Blanquicet
