1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.612 |
This MIB is intended to be implemented on all those
devices operating as Central controllers, that
terminate the Light Weight Access Point Protocol
tunnel from Cisco Light-weight LWAPP Access Points.
This MIB provides the information about the
operational parameters of the 802.11 networks.
References about specific type of 802.11 flavors like
802.11a/b/g or 802.11n will be made whereever required
to indicate that the respective parameters are
applicable only to that particular type of 802.11
networks.
The relationship between CC and the LWAPP APs
can be depicted as follows:

The LWAPP tunnel exists between the controller and
the APs. The MNs communicate with the APs through
the protocol defined by the 802.11 standard.
LWAPP APs, upon bootup, discover and join one of the
controllers and the controller pushes the configuration,
that includes the WLAN parameters, to the LWAPP APs.
The APs then encapsulate all the 802.11 frames from
wireless clients inside LWAPP frames and forward
the LWAPP frames to the controller.
GLOSSARY
Access Point ( AP )
An entity that contains an 802.11 medium access
control ( MAC ) and physical layer ( PHY ) interface
and provides access to the distribution services via
the wireless medium for associated clients.
LWAPP APs encapsulate all the 802.11 frames in
LWAPP frames and sends them to the controller to which
it is logically connected.
Gratuitous Probe Response (GPR)
The Gratuitous Probe Response feature aids in conserving
battery power of WLAN-enabled cell phones by providing
a high rate packet on the order of tens of milliseconds
such that these kind of phones can wake up and wait at
predefined intervals, to reduce battery power. The
GPR packet is transmitted from the AP at a predefined
time interval.
Light Weight Access Point Protocol ( LWAPP )
This is a generic protocol that defines the
communication between the Access Points and the
Central Controller.
Mobile Node ( MN )
A roaming 802.11 wireless device in a wireless
network associated with an access point. Mobile Node
and client are used interchangeably.
TU
A measurement of time in units of 1024 microseconds.
802.11n
802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO
(multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple
transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data
throughput through spatial multiplexing and increased range .
A-MPDU
An aggregated format that consists of several MAC
Protocol Data Units being aggregated and transmitted
in one PHY Service Data Unit.
A-MSDU
An aggregated format that consists of several MAC
Service Data Units being aggregated and transmitted
in one MAC Protocol Data Unit.
Reduced Inter-Frame Space ( RIFS )
A time interval between multiple transmissions of a
single transmitter used to reduce overhead and
increase network efficiency.
Modulation and Coding Scheme ( MCS )
This is a value that determines the modulation, coding and
number of spatial channels. Each scheme specifies the
modulation technique, coding rate , number of spatial
streams etc and the corresponding data rate.
Guard Interval
Guard intervals are used to ensure that distinct
transmissions do not interfere with one another.
The purpose of the guard interval is to introduce
immunity to propagation delays, echoes and
reflections, to which digital data is normally
very sensitive.
Media Access Control ( MAC )
The Media Access Control Layer is one of two sublayers
that make up the Data Link Layer. The MAC layer is
responsible for moving data packets to and from one
Network Interface Card (NIC) to another across a shared
channel.
