Description

I would like to implement communication in BPSK 1/2 modulation using MU-MIMO UL/DL in 2.4GHz with MT7915.
The objective is to obtain long range communication with good link budget thanks to the MU-MIMO.
It is not clear to me if the MT7915 can do that (from a hardware perspective), but if it follows the Wi-Fi 6 specifications it should be able to do it.
Is-there some ressource somewhere that would help me see if the chip can operate in these modes and how to implement them in openwrt ?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the MT7915 hardware capabilities and the existing OpenWrt mt76 driver entry points for Wi-Fi 6 modulation and MU-MIMO support. Determine whether 2.4 GHz BPSK 1/2 with uplink and downlink MU-MIMO is supported, and document the implementation path or hardware limitation.
