+/* 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. */
