+/* 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)
+ *
+ * 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
+ * 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 need to map it to a TX rate to be selected.
+ * For now, we depend on the rates to be ordered in a way such that more robust
+ * rates (i.e. such that exhibit a lower framed failed percentage) come first.
+ * E.g. for the 802.11b/g case, we first have the b rates in ascending order,
+ * then the g rates. The adj simply decides the index of the TX rate in the list
+ * to switch to (relative to the current TX rate entry).
+ *
+ * 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.
