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 (v1.5).pdf

3.1 Features

  • Multi-STA rate control (RC) for AP (v1.5)
    o Configured by module param, 'ap_rc_mode'
    1: disabled RC
    2: original RC algorithm (AP will use statistics for each STA)
    3: use the same MCS which is used by STA when sending frame
  • RSSI-based rate control (RC) for STA (v1.5)
    o cli_app set rc_pf <1|2> (This should be done before the Wi-Fi connection.)
    1: original RC (default)
    2: RSSI based RC

3.2 Resolved issues

  • NDP CTS compliance for RTS with response indication (RI) 1 on AP
  • Not to send WIM message when target is in deep sleep
  • Delayed ping issue triggered by powering off the STA
  • Long beacon only duty cycle setting issue
  • Null pointer dereference triggered by a keep alive frame after the disassociation
  • Bandwidth misconfiguration in the MCS10 frame triggered by fragmentation cancellation under strong RSSI
  • Kernel panic triggerd by the inaccessable vif address when hostapd is disabled in 4-address (bridge) mode
  • Fail to enable hybrid security on the relay node
  • Occasional modem recovery operation on the bridged relay node

3.3 Changed items

  • Coverage enhancement by using 1/2MHz MCS0 frame on 2/4MHz channels
  • 1/2MHz STA support at 4MHz AP
  • DTS update for SPI interface: enable spidev0.1
  • Enhance auto guard interval (GI) with peer node's GI capability check
  • Add auto RX gain control
  • Increase buffer pool and credit number of AC_BE for flow control between host and target (from 40 to 80 and it's not configurable anymore via the module parameter)
  • WDT reset recovery support on MAP
  • Enhance to discard frames with corrupted host interface header
  • Check traveling pilot support field of S1G capabilities element
  • Enhance to conduct TRX operation during the background scanning
  • Improve routing at the low RSSI on the mesh node
  • Recover 'rxskb' error through the reset HSPI controller
  • Mesh inactivity timer off by default
  • China channel update: 749.0MHz ~ 757.0MHz

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 experiences a 60-second delay when using radar channels below:
    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)
