1.8 802.11v: Wireless Network Management
The existing mechanism in 802.11 for wireless network management is mostly via SNMP.
However, there are quite a few issues for this approach. For example, not all wireless
clients on the market possess SNMP capabilities. In the case that a wireless client cannot
get IP connectivity, management of a device may be required, but use of SNMP is
impossible then. In addition, the complexities of 802.11 APs nowadays require more
Emerging IEEE 802.11 Standards 11
management capabilities than what current SNMP MIBs can provide. Therefore we need to
create more MIBs and seek a new management approach more advanced than SNMP.
802.11v provides the wireless network management enhancements to 802.11. It
extends prior work of 802.11k in radio resource measurements to form a complete and
coherent upper layer interface for management of STAs by APs and WLANs by higher
layers in wireless networks. While 802.11k provides the messages to retrieve station
information, the 802.11v provides the ability to configure stations.
