#pragma once // Adaptive power control, and the relay tracking behind the UI's "relayed" mark. // Not part of upstream MyMesh.cpp: included at its bottom, after all class // definitions (as MyMeshBot.h and MyMeshCli.h). // Adaptive Power Control. tx_power_dbm is the user-set ceiling; APC drives the // radio's *actual* TX power within [APC_MIN_DBM, ceiling] to hold the link margin // near a target. The link-quality signal is the SNR of a returning confirmation — // either a direct-message ACK or our own channel/flood packet heard rebroadcast by // a repeater (both are the *reverse* link, a good proxy on a roughly symmetric RF // neighbourhood). No protocol change required. // // The margin is measured *above this SF's demodulation floor* (not an absolute // SNR), so the same target works across SF7–SF12. A single SNR sample is noisy, so // we smooth it with an EWMA and step proportionally to the error (capped), with a // deadband to avoid hunting. A lost confirmation is an ambiguous signal for power, // so we step up gradually and only jump to the ceiling after a short streak. #define APC_MIN_DBM -9 // lower bound (SX126x PA floor) #define APC_TARGET_MARGIN_DB 6.0f // desired SNR margin above the SF demod floor #define APC_DEADBAND_DB 2.0f // hold while the smoothed margin is within ±this #define APC_EWMA_ALPHA 0.4f // smoothing weight for each SNR sample #define APC_MAX_STEP_DB 2 // cap on a single power adjustment (stability) #define APC_FAIL_STEP_DB 4 // power bump on one lost confirmation #define APC_FAIL_CEIL_HITS 2 // consecutive losses → jump straight to the ceiling // How long to wait for a repeater to rebroadcast our channel/flood packet before // treating it as un-heard (flood retransmit delays are randomised over a few s). #define APC_FLOOD_ECHO_WINDOW_MS 6000 void MyMesh::applyApc() { _apc_cur_dbm = _prefs.tx_power_dbm; // start at the ceiling _apc_margin_ewma = APC_TARGET_MARGIN_DB; // assume on-target until samples say otherwise _apc_fail_count = 0; _apc_flood_pending = false; radio_driver.setTxPower(_apc_cur_dbm); } // Feed one reverse-link SNR sample (ACK or heard flood echo) into the controller. void MyMesh::apcSampleSnr(float snr) { _apc_fail_count = 0; // a confirmation clears the failure streak float margin = snr - radio_driver.snrFloorForSF(_prefs.sf); _apc_margin_ewma += APC_EWMA_ALPHA * (margin - _apc_margin_ewma); // smooth float err = _apc_margin_ewma - APC_TARGET_MARGIN_DB; // +ve = more margin than needed if (fabsf(err) <= APC_DEADBAND_DB) return; // inside deadband → hold int step = (int)lroundf(err * 0.5f); // proportional (~half the error) if (step > APC_MAX_STEP_DB) step = APC_MAX_STEP_DB; if (step < -APC_MAX_STEP_DB) step = -APC_MAX_STEP_DB; if (step == 0) return; int8_t target = _apc_cur_dbm - step; // surplus margin → lower power if (target < APC_MIN_DBM) target = APC_MIN_DBM; if (target > _prefs.tx_power_dbm) target = _prefs.tx_power_dbm; if (target == _apc_cur_dbm) return; int8_t delta = target - _apc_cur_dbm; _apc_cur_dbm = target; radio_driver.setTxPower(_apc_cur_dbm); _apc_margin_ewma += (float)delta; // anticipate the margin shift (≈1 dB TX → 1 dB SNR) } // A send got no confirmation (missed ACK, or a flood no repeater echoed).
