As I know, when a station in the network receives a beacon before sending its own beacon, cancels the transmission, updates its hw tsf based on the received beacon and waits for a chance to send the beacon during next TBTT. For my goal, I think that I should comment the part where the transmission of the beacon is cancelled. In this way, each station will send a beacon each 100TU (~100 ms). I know that this mean a increased traffic load on the network, but it is so much important for the project to obtain a beacon for each station each 100ms. Right now, I am looking at the source code of ath9k, I am trying to modify the file beacon.c, but I don’t find the way to get my purpose. Could anyone help me to find the right place at the code that I have to modify? I am a bit lost and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
