Initializing the TSSI to DBM Tables

  1. If this chip is a 0x4301 and the Radio ID isn't 0x2050
    1. The Idle TSSI Target is 0x34
    2. We use the B PHY Data as is
    3. Return
  2. otherwise
    1. If each of the passed in paXbY (where X is 0/1 depending on the PHY type) values is neither -1 nor 0

      1. The Idle TSSI Target is the value passed in, unless that is 0 or -1 in which case you use 62.
      2. we make a table of 64 signed 8 bit values
      3. set the values in the table as detailed below in "calculating table entries".
    2. Otherwise
      1. If this is an A PHY, A PHYs require a generated TSSI to DBM table, so we force it back to uninitalized (This is an error state I think).
      2. If this is a B PHY
        1. The Idle TSSI Target is 0x34
        2. Use the B PHY Data as is
      3. If this is a G PHY
        1. The Idle TSSI Target is 0x34
        2. Use the G PHY Data as is

calculating table entries

If a table of 256 entries is being generated, then it is indexed with a signed char range ([-128..127]), otherwise it is indexed with values from [0..range-1].

First, let's defined an adjusted divide function as follows:

                 /
                 |  num/den            num<0
ad (num, den) := |
                 |  (num+den/2)/den    otherwise
                 \

For each table index 'index', generate the value as follows:
