Regulatory TODO

Regulatory code is maintained on the Linux kernel but a revamp of new ideas is being considered on a userspace regulatory simulator. The userspace regulatory simulator is designed to help us create / modify / simulate software changes easily but at the same time exist as a template for anyone to use the same software in any other software environment given that the license of the code is permissively licensed.

Port to any other Operating System
Use in firmware if needed

You can find the regulatory simulator here:

The following regulatory ideas are being implemented on the regulatory simulator. References to code where specific changes are being implemented on the regulatory simulator are documented below as well.

Database improvements

Implement new regulatory interpretation rules as discussed in this thread. In summary, using the notation outlined for mathematical intervals:

 0) for all 1 <= k < n : MAX_k <= MIN_{k+1}

 1) each rule in the regdomain covers the frequency range (MIN_1, MAX_1]

 2) given C = union (over all k = 1 .. n) of (MIN_k, MAX_k]
    it must be true that
       (CENTER - BW/2, CENTER + BW/2) is a subset of C

 3) it must be true for all 1 <= k <= n:
       if CENTER in (MIN_k, MAX_k] : BW <= BW_k   

 4) This is easier to formulate algorithmically:
   USE_FLAGS = 0
   for k = 1 .. n
       if (CENTER - BW/2, CENTER + BW/2) intersects (MIN_k, MAX_k]:
           USE_FLAGS |= FLAGS_k

allow for TPC
allow for spectral power limits (e.g. 10mW/MHz)
