Configuring WLAN RRM
NOTE:
The terms AP and fat AP in this document refer to MSR800, MSR 900, MSR900-E, MSR 930, and
MSR 20-1X routers with IEEE 802.11b/g and MSR series routers installed with a SIC WLAN module.
Overview
Radio signals are susceptible to surrounding interference. The causes of radio signal attenuation in
different directions are very complex. Make careful plans before deploying a WLAN network. After
WLAN deployment, the running parameters must still be adjusted because the radio environment is
always varying due to interference from mobile obstacles, microwave ovens and so on. To adapt to
environment changes, radio resources such as working channels and transmit power should be
adjusted dynamically. Such adjustments are complex and require experienced personnel to
implement regularly, which brings high maintenance costs.
WLAN radio resource management (RRM) is a scalable radio resource management solution.
WLAN RRM delivers a real-time, intelligent, and integrated radio resource management solution.
This enables a WLAN network to quickly adapt to radio environment changes and remain in a
healthy state.
