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.
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
