How to determine tx rate, mcs and link speed

Hi there,

for a pilot app project under IOS we need to determine the tx rate, link speed and mcs (Modulation and Coding Scheme) of a connected wifi when streaming a video.

Sending test packets is not a good idea, because it would influence the video stream. It should be more a solution by obtaining these values from the wifi interface directly.

I know this is probably not doable without private APIs, but this app should only be an internal test for a later App Store App that does not need this functionality any longer.


Does anyone have a hint?

Thx.

DevForums is dedicated to helping folks with public APIs and, as you’re aware, there’s no public API to get this sort of information.
