RTS/CTS exchanges do not follow the RTS threshold

[Okhwan Lee]

 Hi all, 


As stated in the standard, if PSDU size is larger then the RTS threshold, 
the PSDU follows RTS/CTS exchange. 
However, based on our measurement, the RTS/CTS exchanges is decided based on the MSDU size. 
If A-MPDU is aggregated with multiple 1000 byte MPDUs, the A-MPDU is transmitted without RTS/CTS even if RTS threshold is set to 2347.


Additionaly, is there any function called when RTS or CTS received in ath10k or ath? Or RTS/CTS exchange is done by the firmware?
