How to get RSSI of received packet

[Anonymous]

Hello.

I need to get RSSI values of any received packet in monitor mode, i.e. probe requests, assoc/deassoc request, beacons etc.
Information from my scan provides RSSI only about APs around, but I need to get RSSI of any packet.

RSSI is present in the radiotap header, but this header is catted in firmware, I suppose, and not being transferred via sdio/sdpcm.

I have tried to use your api like wwd_wifi_get_ap_client_rssi (). I also tried to create my own version to work with STA iface wwd_wifi_get_rssi_by_mac but this approach failed.

Also I have investigated all IOCTL commands and found WLC_SET_MSGLEVEL, perhaps this call can be configured to send radiotap header?

Please help.

I'm confused with the functions to get RSSI.

What's the meaning (and difference) of the RSSI value got by below functions?

wwd_wifi_get_ap_info( &ap_info, &sec ); // There is a RSSI value in ap_info.RSSI

wwd_wifi_get_rssi( &rssi );

wwd_wifi_get_ap_client_rssi(&rssi, (wiced_mac_t*)&current->octet[0]);

We have tried the wwd_wifi_get_rssi( &rssi ). I think this is the one when your module is in STA mode associating to a local access point?

For the wwd_wifi_get_ap_client_rssi(&rssi, (wiced_mac_t*)&current->octet[0]), I think this is the one when your module is in SoftAP mode and has clients associated to it.

wwd_wifi_get_rssi( &rssi ) returns rssi value when the device is running as AP.

To avoid confusing, I think Broadcom had better provides documentation for the APIs they provided.
