1. Introduction
The dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) is defined in [RFC8175].
It provides the exchange of link-related control information between
DLEP peers. DLEP peers are comprised of a modem and a router. DLEP
defines a base set of mechanisms as well as support for possible
extensions. This document defines one such extension.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2. Extension Usage and Identification
The use of the Radio Quality Extension SHOULD be configurable. To
indicate that the Radio Quality Extension is to be used, an
implementation MUST include the Radio Quality Extension Type Value in
the Extensions Supported Data Item. The Extensions Supported Data
Item is sent and processed according to [RFC8175].
The Radio Quality Extension Type Value is TBD; see Section TBD.
3. Radio Quality Data Items
This section describes the quality related Data Items of this
extension.

Internet-Draft DLEP PHY quality March 2021
3.1. Radio SNR Data Item
Radio SNR Data Item contains information which signal to noise ratio
the radio measured. This Data Item can be both interface and
neighbor specific.
The format of the Radio SNR Data Item is:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Data Item Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| SNR | Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1
Data Item Type: TBD
Length: 3
SNR: SNR measured in dB multiplied by 10 as a signed integer.
Flags: Flags field as defined below.
The Flags field is defined as:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Reserved |I|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 2
I: Interverence Flag, indicating the the data includes interference
into the noise value (SINR).
Reserved: MUST be zero. Left for future assignment.
3.2. Radio Signal Strength Data Item (also called RSSI)
Radio Signal Strength Data Item contains information which absolute
signal strength the radio measured. This Data Item can be both
interface and neighbor specific.
The format of the Radio Signal Strength Data Item is:

Data Item Type: TBD
Length: 2
Signal: Signal Strength measured in dBm multiplied by 10 as a signed
integer.
3.3. Radio Biterror Rate Data Item
Radio Biterror Rate Data Item contains information which absolute
noise value the radio measured. This Data Item can be both interface
and neighbor specific.
The format of the Radio Biterror Rate Data Item is:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Biterror: Biterror rate measured as a negative exponent to base 10,
e.g. "4" for an error rate of 1 to 10^-4.
3.4. Radio Noise Data Item
Radio Noise Data Item contains information which absolute noise value
the radio measured. This Data Item SHOULD be interface.
The format of the Radio Noise Data Item is:

Data Item Type: TBD
Length: 2
Noise: Noise measured in dBm multiplied by 10 as a signed integer.
4. Security Considerations
The extension introduces a new Data Item for DLEP. The extension
does not inherently introduce any additional vulnerabilities above
those documented in [RFC8175]. The approach taken to security in
that document applies equally when running the extension defined in
this document.
5. IANA Considerations
As described below, IANA has assigned two values per this document.
Both assignments are to registries defined by [RFC8175].
5.1. Extension Type Value
IANA has assigned the following value in the "Extension Type Values"
registry within the "Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP)
Parameters" registry. The new value is in the range with the
"Specification Required" [RFC8126] policy:
+------+---------------+
| Code | Description |
+------+---------------+
| TBD | Radio Quality |
+------+---------------+

5.2. Data Item Value
IANA has assigned the following value in the "Data Item Type Values"
registry within the "Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP)
Parameters" registry. The new value is in the range with the
"Specification Required" [RFC8126] policy:
+-----------+---------------------+
| Type Code | Description |
+-----------+---------------------+
| TBD | Radio SNR |
+-----------+---------------------+
| TBD | Radio Signal |
+-----------+---------------------+
| TBD | Radio Biterror Rate |
+-----------+---------------------+
| TBD | Radio Noise |
