Abstract

Large deployments of access points in wireless local area networks (WLANs) based on the IEEE 802.11 standard require management, configuration and control mechanisms. Centralized WLANs are defined as multi-cell wireless access networks that implement some of these functions in a centralized manner. In this chapter the authors illustrate how the mechanisms designed for the management of centralized WLANs can also be used for monitoring parameters related to QoS support and for pursuing QoS goals. They describe the Control and Provisioning Wireless Access Protocol (CAPWAP), a recent IETF standard for the management of centralized WLANs which is currently in the final stages of the definition process, its implementation for the existing types of centralized WLANs, and its use for monitoring and QoS management. The authors discuss the QoS goals that can be pursued in this framework, such as access control, load balancing, cell resizing, and Medium Access Control parameters adaptation, as well as the algorithms and strategies that can be used to fulfill them.
