Radio Resource Management (802.11k)
The 802.11k standard provides mechanisms for APs and clients to dynamically measure the
available radio resources and enables stations to query and manage their radio resources. In
an 802.11k-enabled network, APs and clients can share radio and link measurement
information, neighbor reports, and beacon reports with each other. This allows the WLAN
network infrastructural elements and clients to assess resources and make optimal mobility
decisions to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) and seamless continuity.
SCALANCE W supports the following radio resource management information elements with
802.11k support enabled:
●
Power Constraint IE
—The power constraint element contains the information necessary
to allow a client to determine the local maximum transmit power in the current channel.
●
AP Channel Report IE
—The AP channel report element contains a list of channels in a
regulatory class where a client is likely to find an AP, including the AP transmitting the AP
channel report.
●
Radio Resource Management (RRM) Enabled Capabilities IE
—The RRM-enabled
capabilities element signals support for radio measurements in a device. The clients use
this IE to specify their radio measurement capabilities.
●
BSS Load Element
—The BSS load element contains information on the density of clients
and traffic levels in the QBSS.
●
Transmit Power Control (TPC) Report IE
—The TPC IE contains transmit power and link
margin information.
●
Quiet IE
: The Quiet IE defines an interval during which no transmission occurs in the
current channel. This interval may be used to assist in making channel measurements
without interference from other stations in the BSS.
●
Extended Capabilities IE
—The extended capabilities IE carries information about the
capabilities of an IEEE 802.11 station.
