hostapd: Add Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) support

Browse source 
This adds ACS support to hostapd. Currently only survey-based
algorithm is available.

To use ACS you need to enable CONFIG_ACS=y in .config and use
channel=0 (or channel=acs_survey) in hostapd.conf.

For more details see wiki page [1] or comments in src/ap/acs.c.

* Automatic Channel Selection
* ===========================
*
* More info at
* ------------
* http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/acs
*
* How to use
* ----------
* - make sure you have CONFIG_ACS=y in hostapd's .config
* - use channel=0 or channel=acs to enable ACS
*
* How does it work
* ----------------
* 1. passive scans are used to collect survey data
* (it is assumed that scan trigger collection of survey data in driver)
* 2. interference factor is calculated for each channel
* 3. ideal channel is picked depending on channel width by using adjacent
* channel interference factors
*
* Known limitations
* -----------------
* - Current implementation depends heavily on the amount of time willing to
* spend gathering survey data during hostapd startup. Short traffic bursts
* may be missed and a suboptimal channel may be picked.
* - Ideal channel may end up overlapping a channel with 40 MHz intolerant BSS
*
* Todo / Ideas
* ------------
* - implement other interference computation methods
* - BSS/RSSI based
* - spectral scan based
* (should be possibly to hook this up with current ACS scans)
* - add wpa_supplicant support (for P2P)
* - collect a histogram of interference over time allowing more educated
* guess about an ideal channel (perhaps CSA could be used to migrate AP to a
* new "better" channel while running)
* - include neighboring BSS scan to avoid conflicts with 40 MHz intolerant BSSs
* when choosing the ideal channel
*
* Survey interference factor implementation details
* -------------------------------------------------
* Generic interference_factor in struct hostapd_channel_data is used.
*
* The survey interference factor is defined as the ratio of the
* observed busy time over the time we spent on the channel,
* this value is then amplified by the observed noise floor on
* the channel in comparison to the lowest noise floor observed
* on the entire band.
*
* This corresponds to:
* ---
* (busy time - tx time) / (active time - tx time) * 2^(chan_nf + band_min_nf)
* ---
*
* The coefficient of 2 reflects the way power in "far-field"
* radiation decreases as the square of distance from the antenna [1].
* What this does is it decreases the observed busy time ratio if the
* noise observed was low but increases it if the noise was high,
* proportionally to the way "far field" radiation changes over
* distance.
*
* If channel busy time is not available the fallback is to use channel RX time.
*
* Since noise floor is in dBm it is necessary to convert it into Watts so that
* combined channel interference (e.g., HT40, which uses two channels) can be
* calculated easily.
* ---
* (busy time - tx time) / (active time - tx time) *
* 2^(10^(chan_nf/10) + 10^(band_min_nf/10))
* ---
*
* However to account for cases where busy/rx time is 0 (channel load is then
* 0%) channel noise floor signal power is combined into the equation so a
* channel with lower noise floor is preferred. The equation becomes:
* ---
* 10^(chan_nf/5) + (busy time - tx time) / (active time - tx time) *
* 2^(10^(chan_nf/10) + 10^(band_min_nf/10))
* ---
*
* All this "interference factor" is purely subjective and only time
* will tell how usable this is. By using the minimum noise floor we
* remove any possible issues due to card calibration. The computation
* of the interference factor then is dependent on what the card itself
* picks up as the minimum noise, not an actual real possible card
* noise value.
*
* Total interference computation details
* --------------------------------------
* The above channel interference factor is calculated with no respect to
* target operational bandwidth.
*
* To find an ideal channel the above data is combined by taking into account
* the target operational bandwidth and selected band. E.g., on 2.4 GHz channels
* overlap with 20 MHz bandwidth, but there is no overlap for 20 MHz bandwidth
* on 5 GHz.
*
* Each valid and possible channel spec (i.e., channel + width) is taken and its
* interference factor is computed by summing up interferences of each channel
* it overlaps. The one with least total interference is picked up.
*
* Note: This implies base channel interference factor must be non-negative
* allowing easy summing up.
