/* This is an implementation of a TX rate control algorithm that uses a PID
 * controller. Given a target failed frames rate, the controller decides about
 * TX rate changes to meet the target failed frames rate.
 *
 * The controller basically computes the following:
 *
 * adj = CP * err + CI * err_avg + CD * (err - last_err) * (1 + sharpening)
 *
 * where
 * 	adj	adjustment value that is used to switch TX rate (see below)
 * 	err	current error: target vs. current failed frames percentage
 * 	last_err	last error
 * 	err_avg	average (i.e. poor man's integral) of recent errors
 *	sharpening	non-zero when fast response is needed (i.e. right after
 *			association or no frames sent for a long time), heading
 * 			to zero over time
 * 	CP	Proportional coefficient
 * 	CI	Integral coefficient
 * 	CD	Derivative coefficient
 *
 * CP, CI, CD are subject to careful tuning.
 *
 * The integral component uses a exponential moving average approach instead of
 * an actual sliding window. The advantage is that we don't need to keep an
 * array of the last N error values and computation is easier.
 *
 * Once we have the adj value, we map it to a rate by means of a learning
 * algorithm. This algorithm keeps the state of the percentual failed frames
 * difference between rates. The behaviour of the lowest available rate is kept
 * as a reference value, and every time we switch between two rates, we compute
 * the difference between the failed frames each rate exhibited. By doing so,
 * we compare behaviours which different rates exhibited in adjacent timeslices,
 * thus the comparison is minimally affected by external conditions. This
 * difference gets propagated to the whole set of measurements, so that the
 * reference is always the same. Periodically, we normalize this set so that
 * recent events weigh the most. By comparing the adj value with this set, we
 * avoid pejorative switches to lower rates and allow for switches to higher
 * rates if they behaved well.
 *
 * Note that for the computations we use a fixed-point representation to avoid
 * floating point arithmetic. Hence, all values are shifted left by
 * RC_PID_ARITH_SHIFT.
 */


/* Shift the adjustment so that we won't switch to a lower rate if it exhibited
 * a worse failed frames behaviour and we'll choose the highest rate whose
 * failed frames behaviour is not worse than the one of the original rate
 * target. While at it, check that the adjustment is within the ranges. Then,
 * provide the new rate index. */
