4.6.1.3 Configuring 802.11.k Radio Resource Management
The dot11k screen allows you to enable 802.11k Radio Resource Management for MUs.
The RRM (WLAN Radio Resource Measurement) service enables MUs to understand the radio environment in which they
exist. It enables them to observe and gather data on radio link performance and on the radio environment there by enabling
adjustment of MUs operation to better suit the radio environment. The RRM capability needs to be advertised through
Beacons. The Wireless Switch shall send out a Beacon request to RRM capable MUs, and it should be able to process
received Beacon reports. The Beacon request is sent to RRM capable MUs in active mode with specified measurement
duration as and when they are triggered. If an MU refuses/ rejects/ does not send the report, then the request is retried
after an expiry of specified duration. In case of further refuse/reject, retry until a maximum retry limit. The Maximum
Beacon requests sent out to an MU in this case are limited to three.
To enable 802.11k on an MU:
1. Select a Network > Mobile Units from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Status tab.
3. Select an MU from the table in the Status screen and click the dot11k button.
4. Check the Trigger Beacon Request box to enable Radio Resource Management services on the selected MU.
5. In the Measurement Duration field, enter a time interval between 500-1000(in K-us) to specify how often the Radio
Resource Measurement services will poll the selected MU for traffic information.
Voice Displays whether or not the MU is a voice capable device. Traffic from a voice enabled MU
is handled differently than traffic from MUs without this capability. MUs grouped to particular
WLANs can be prioritized to transmit and receive voice traffic over data traffic.
WMM Displays WMM usage status for the MU, including the Access Category currently in use. Use
this information to assess whether the MU is using the correct WMM settings in relation to
the operation of the switch.
Encryption Displays the encryption type used by the MU for transmitting or receiving data frames on this
WLAN.
Roam Count Refer to the Roam Count value to assess the number of times the MU has roamed from the
switch.
