Configuring 802.11.k radio resource managment
The dot11k screen allows you to enable 802.11k Radio Resource Managment 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 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 a 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
a 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 a MU from the table in the Status screen and click the dot11k button.
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.
Roam Count Refer to the Roam Count value to assess the number of times the MU has roamed
from the switch.
