Wi-Fi Management¶

Overview¶

The Wi-Fi management API is used to manage Wi-Fi networks. It supports below modes:

IEEE802.11 Station (STA)
IEEE802.11 Access Point (AP)

Only personal mode security is supported with below types:

Open
WPA2-PSK
WPA3-PSK-256
WPA3-SAE

The Wi-Fi management API is implemented in the wifi_mgmt module as a part of the networking L2 stack. Currently, two types of Wi-Fi drivers are supported:

Networking or socket offloaded drivers
Native L2 Ethernet drivers

Wi-Fi utility functions.

Utility functions for the Wi-Fi subsystem.

int wifi_utils_parse_scan_bands(char *scan_bands_str, uint8_t *band_map)¶

Convert a band specification string to a bitmap representing the bands.

The function will parse a string which specifies Wi-Fi frequency band values as a comma separated string and convert it to a bitmap. The string can use the following characters to represent the bands:

2: 2.4 GHz
5: 5 GHz
6: 6 GHz

For the bitmap generated refer to wifi_frequency_bands for bit position of each band.

E.g. a string “2,5,6” will be converted to a bitmap value of 0x7

Parameters:

scan_bands_str – String which spe.
band_map – Pointer to the bitmap variable to be updated.

Return values:

0 – on success.
-errno – value in case of failure.

int wifi_utils_parse_scan_ssids(char *scan_ssids_str, const char *ssids[], uint8_t num_ssids)¶

Append a string containing an SSID to an array of SSID strings.

Parameters:

scan_ssids_str – string to be appended in the list of scanned SSIDs.
ssids – Pointer to an array where the SSIDs pointers are to be stored.
num_ssids – Maximum number of SSIDs that can be stored.

Return values:

0 – on success.
-errno – value in case of failure.

int wifi_utils_parse_scan_chan(char *scan_chan_str, struct wifi_band_channel *chan, uint8_t max_channels)¶

Convert a string containing a specification of scan channels to an array.

The function will parse a string which specifies channels to be scanned as a string and convert it to an array.

The channel string has to be formatted using the colon (:), comma(,), hyphen (-) and underscore (_) delimiters as follows:

A colon identifies the value preceding it as a band. A band value (2: 2.4 GHz, 5: 5 GHz 6: 6 GHz) has to precede the channels in that band (e.g. 2: etc)
Hyphens (-) are used to identify channel ranges (e.g. 2-7, 32-48 etc)
Commas are used to separate channel values within a band. Channels can be specified as individual values (2,6,48 etc) or channel ranges using hyphens (1-14, 32-48 etc)
Underscores (_) are used to specify multiple band-channel sets (e.g. 2:1,2_5:36,40 etc)
No spaces should be used anywhere, i.e. before/after commas, before/after hyphens etc.

An example channel specification specifying channels in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands is as below: 2:1,5,7,9-11_5:36-48,100,163-167

Parameters:

scan_chan_str – List of channels expressed in the format described above.
chan – Pointer to an array where the parsed channels are to be stored.
max_channels – Maximum number of channels to store

Return values:

0 – on success.
-errno – value in case of failure.

struct wifi_band_channel¶

#include <wifi_mgmt.h>

Wi-Fi structure to uniquely identify a band-channel pair.

Public Members

uint8_t band¶: Frequency band.

uint8_t channel¶: Channel.

struct wifi_scan_params¶

#include <wifi_mgmt.h>

Wi-Fi scan parameters structure.

Used to specify parameters which can control how the Wi-Fi scan is performed.

Public Members

enum wifi_scan_type scan_type¶

Scan type, see enum wifi_scan_type.

The scan_type is only a hint to the underlying Wi-Fi chip for the preferred mode of scan. The actual mode of scan can depend on factors such as the Wi-Fi chip implementation support, regulatory domain restrictions etc.

uint8_t bands¶

Bitmap of bands to be scanned.

Refer to wifi_frequency_bands for bit position of each band.

uint16_t dwell_time_active¶: Active scan dwell time (in ms) on a channel.

uint16_t dwell_time_passive¶: Passive scan dwell time (in ms) on a channel.

const char *ssids[1]¶: Array of SSID strings to scan.

uint16_t max_bss_cnt¶

Specifies the maximum number of scan results to return.

These results would be the BSSIDS with the best RSSI values, in all the scanned channels. This should only be used to limit the number of returned scan results, and cannot be counted upon to limit the scan time, since the underlying Wi-Fi chip might have to scan all the channels to find the max_bss_cnt number of APs with the best signal strengths. A value of 0 signifies that there is no restriction on the number of scan results to be returned.

struct wifi_band_channel band_chan[1]¶

Channel information array indexed on Wi-Fi frequency bands and channels within that band.

E.g. to scan channel 6 and 11 on the 2.4 GHz band, channel 36 on the 5 GHz band:

chan[0] = {WIFI_FREQ_BAND_2_4_GHZ, 6};
chan[1] = {WIFI_FREQ_BAND_2_4_GHZ, 11};
chan[2] = {WIFI_FREQ_BAND_5_GHZ, 36};

This list specifies the channels to be considered for scan. The underlying Wi-Fi chip can silently omit some channels due to various reasons such as channels not conforming to regulatory restrictions etc. The invoker of the API should ensure that the channels specified follow regulatory rules.
