This is the list of features/issues changes that are added at this release.
Please refer to the detailed release note at RN-7292-001-SW_PKG_release_note (v1.4).pdf

3.1 Features

  • HaLow certification features
    o HaLow R1 mandatory features (v1.4)
    o HaLow R1 optional features (v1.4)
    • AP optional features: BSS color, fragmentation
    • STA optional features: MCS 3-7, NDP probing, A-MPDU TX
  • Kr00k vulnerability (v1.4)
  • Dynamic fragmentation (v1.4)
  • Network bridge (v1.4)
  • RSSI-based roaming (v1.4)
  • Duty cycle (v1.4)

3.2 Resolved issues

  • HSPI problem detection and recovery issue
  • hw_verion update error issue under frequent power on/off situation
  • Initialized aggregation/guard interval setting issue after target recovery
  • Default CCA level of 4MHz channel bandwidth
  • Fast synchronization of rx_slot count of host driver to avoid HSPI operation failure on the low-performance host platform
  • Unexpected operating channel change caused by self_config during JP 4MHz channel operation
  • Buffer mismatch triggered disconnection in the bridged node
  • Generating assert during the stop of relay node
  • Irrecoverable FW by mishandling of IP/DHCP/ARP frames in mesh and relay node
  • Long beacon_int compliance in TIM mode deep sleep
  • Imbalanced uplink/downlink performance at the repeater mode - lay) node
  • Host driver build error in the Linux kernel version 4.4 or lower
  • Incorrect 1MHz primary channel location and primary channel number
  • Inflexible S1G format for probe response frame
  • Inflexible 1MHz control response support
  • Fail to set output of relevant GPIO before entering the deep sleep
  • Mesh control field correction to consider 4-address usage
  • Multicast frame drop on JP channel

3.3 Changed items

  • Support HaLow certification with the single firmware package
  • Regulation related updates
    (1) Updated JP LBT/duty cycle regulation support
    (2) KR channel update: K0/K1/K2 channels
    (3) EU channel update: remove 2MHz channel based on IEEE 802.11-2020
  • Firmware/host driver refactoring
  • Remove modem sleep feature
  • Support faster wake-up time in deep sleep mode
  • Support serial flash power down in the deep sleep mode
  • Support active scanning on mesh
  • Enhance duty cycle feature in terms of stability and monitoring
  • Update the maximum supported STA count from 1000 to 700 due to the increased heap usage in the firmware
  • Association control based on BSS max idle period and listen interval values
  • cli_app update (refer to UG-7292-007-Commnad line application v2.0 document)

3.4 Known issues

  • Host Mode
    o Not Support 5 US CHs for hostapd CH capacity reason
    (Not supported CH : 100(BW_1M, 925.5MHz), 104(BW_1M, 926.5MHz), 108(BW_1M, 927.5MHz), 112(BW_2M, 927MHz), 116(BW_4M, 926MHz))
  • Hostapd
    o Not Support 5 US CHs due to hostapd CH capacity reason
    (Not supported CH: 100(BW_1M, 925.5MHz), 104(BW_1M, 926.5MHz), 108(BW_1M, 927.5MHz), 112(BW_2M, 927MHz), 116(BW_4M, 926MHz))
    o Due to the legacy Wi-Fi/HaLow channel mapping, "hostapd_cli chan_switch" command can’t be applied to following radar channels:
    5500(#100/925.5MHz), 5520(#104/926.5MHz), 5540(#108/927.5MHz), 5560(#112/927MHz), 5580(#116/926MHz)
  • Mesh
    o DHCP failure or delay in multi-hop MBSS
    (Recommend using static IP in more than 3-hop MBSS)
  • Relay
    o Not supported on KR MIC package
    (The concurrent mode can’t be applied due to the KR MIC regulation)
