# Wi-Fi overview

Qualcomm^®^ Linux^®^ provides Wi-Fi functionality, features, and configurable parameters for developing applications.

Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) is a wireless networking technology that uses the IEEE 802.11 protocol. It lets electronic devices like smartphones, wearables, laptops, desktops, and other consumer electronics to connect to the Internet without physical cables.

In Qualcomm Linux, Wi-Fi functionality is enabled through the ath11k driver. The system-on-chip (SoC), Wi-Fi chipset, and driver support for the development kits are as follows.

| STA mode | In STA mode, a device connects to an AP within a Wi-Fi network and communicates with other devices in the network. This mode is standard for wireless devices in a Wi-Fi connection. |
| Hotspot mode | Hotspot mode enables a device to provide backhaul (Internet) connectivity to Wi-Fi clients using a cellular link (LTE). The device establishes this connection through its lightweight hotspot interface. In hotspot mode, the device can:<br><br><br><br>> <br>> <br>> <ul class="simple"><br>> <li><p>Communicate with other Wi-Fi clients connected to the same hotspot.</p></li><br>> <li><p>Communicate with the hotspot device.</p></li><br>> <li><p>Share the WAN connection of the device.</p></li><br>> </ul> |

## Scan

A Wi-Fi scan compiles a list of nearby Access Points (APs) for a device. There are two primary scan modes: active and passive. Additionally, WLAN chipsets can trigger other scan policies.

The following table provides the types of scans and their descriptions.

Table : Supported scan modes

| Scan | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Active scan | The Wi-Fi initiates a broadcast probe request (Tx) and listens for probe responses from APs. All APs, except for those with a hidden Service Set Identifier (SSID), respond to the broadcast probe request.<br>Active scans are used on all channels for 2.4 GHz, non-Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels for 5 GHz, and Preferred Scanning Channel (PSC) for 6 GHz. |
| Passive scan | The client conserves power by not transmitting packets acitvely. The STA waits on each channel for approximately 100 ms (plus an additional ±10 ms for channel change) to listen to beacons broadcasted by APs.<br>During this dwell time, the STA receives all beacons, and scans SSIDs from the APs on that channel. |
| Legacy scan | Scans one channel at a time. |
| Split scan | Alternates scanning between the home channel and foreign channel. |
| Burst scan | Scans multiple channels in a burst. |
| Agile scan | Simultaneously scans two passive channels reducing DFS channel scan time by half. |
| Roaming scan | Initiates the move of the STA from a congested channel of the currently connected AP to a better AP.<br>Triggers include Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), missed beacons, channel traffic conditions, and AP conditions. |

## DBS operation

WLAN uses multiple MAC addresses available within the chipset for DBS. The WCN6856 and QCA6698AQ chips support DBS, allowing simultaneous scanning at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies.

Additionally, a scan channel can run in parallel with other Wi-Fi operations on different bands. This concurrent operation involves two 802.11 MAC/Physical (PHY)/radio pipes functioning on separate radio bands: 5 GHz, 6 GHz (PHY A), and 2.4 GHz (PHY B).

## Coexistence

The 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band is shared by Bluetooth^®^, Wi-Fi, and Mobile Wireless Standards (MWS) Long Term Evolution (LTE). Coexistence software monitors the states of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LTE to determine the coordination methodology that best aligns with expectations for each link. For example, it considers quality of service (QoS) for Bluetooth links and throughput for Wi-Fi.
