Hello, We're currently trying to tune the rate control algorithm (minstrel) with our video encoding quality. We're using a udp network so ideally the two will match up and we won't be trying to encode at too high of a quality when our data rate is decreased.
In doing so, I have a couple of questions: a) Is it possible to change the timing between rate changes? We'd like to not change in the middle of encoding a video frame and give our encoding enough time to create a frame that will fit in the current data rate. b) Is there a better way to get the current data rate than using iwconfig? Or possibly an interrupt for when the data rate is changed so we can change our encoding quality to match it as soon as possible? c) If the above aren't possible, is the best way to manually change the data rate by configuring the kernel to not use rate control and send rate change requests via something like "echo 'index' > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/rc/fixed_rate_idx" (posted here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/182520/disable-rate-control-in-linux-wireless-driver). Any advice is appreciated! Thank you.
