Introduction IEEE 802.11n standard was published in 2009 and it is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 standard to improve network throughput. The maximum data rate increases to 600Mbit/s physical throughput rate. In the physical layer, 802.11n use OFDM and MIMO to achive the high throughput. 802.11n use multiple antennas to form antenna array which can be dynamically adjusted to imporve the signal strength and extend the coverage. There are couple of capabilities of 802.11n need to be supported by CAPWAP control message such as radio capability, radio configuration and station information. 2. Conventions used in this document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL","SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 3. CAPWAP 802.11n support IEEE 802.11n standard was published in 2009 and it is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 standard to improve network throughput. The maximum data rate increases to 600Mbit/s physical throughput rate. In the physical layer, 802.11n use OFDM and MIMO to achive the high throughput. 802.11n use multiple antennas to form antenna array which can be dynamically adjusted to imporve the signal strength and extend the coverage. 802.11n support three modes of channel usage: 20MHz mode, 40Mhz mode and mixed mode.802.11n has a new feature called channel binding. It can bind two adjacent 20MHz channel to one 40MHz channel to improve the throughput.If using 40Mhz channel configuration there will be only one non-overlapping channel in 2.4GHz. In the large scale deployment scenario, operator need to use 20MHz channel configuration in 2.4GHz to allow more non-overlapping channels. In MAC layer, a new feature of 802.11n is Short Guard Interval(GI). 802.11a/g use 800ns guard interval between the adjacent information symbols. In 802.11n, the GI can be configured to 400nm under good wireless condition. Another feature in 802.11 MAC layer is Block ACK. 802.11n can use one ACK frame to acknowledge several MPDU receiving event. Chen, et al. Expires August 5, 2013 [Page 3] Internet-Draft capwap Feb 2013 CAPWAP need to be extended to support the above new 802.11n features. For example, CAPWAP should allow the access controller to know the supported 802.11n features and the access controller should be able to configure the differe channel binding modes. One possible solution is to extend the CAPWAP information element for 802.11n. 4. CAPWAP extension for 802.11n support There are couple of capabilities of 802.11n need to be supported by CAPWAP control message such as radio capability, radio configuration and station information. This section defines the extension of current CAPWAP 802.11 information element to support 802.11n. 1. 802.11n Radio Capability Information Element. The information element need to be extended to include 802.11n radio capability. Below is an example of the 802.11n radio capability information element. Chen, et al.

Power and Channel auto reconfiguration Power and channel auto reconfiguration could avoid potential radio interference and improve the Wi-Fi performance. In general, the auto-configuration of radio power and channel could occurre at two stages: when the AP power on or during the AP running time. When the AP is power-on, it is of necessity to configure a proper channel to the AP in order to achieve best status of radio links. IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Control elements or IEEE 802.11 OFDM Control element defined in RFC5416 should be carried to offer AP a channel at this stage. Those element should be carried in the Configure Status Response message. If those information element is zero, the AP will determine its channel by itself, otherwise the AP should be configured according to the provided information element. When the AP determines its own channel configuration, it should first scan the channel information, then determine which channel it will work on and form a channel quality scan report. The channel quality report will be sent to the AC using WTP Event Request message by the AP. The AC can use IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence Control or IEEE 802.11 OFDM Control information element carried by the configure Update Request message to configure a new channel for the AP. IEEE 802.11 Tx Power information element is used by the AC to control the transmission power of the AP. The 802.11 Tx Power information element is carried in the Configure Status Response message during the power on phase or in the Configure Update Request message during the running phase. Channel Scan Procedure. The Channel Scan Procedure is illustrated by the following figure. Chen, et al.

Expires August 5, 2013 [Page 10] Internet-Draft capwap Feb 2013 Channel ID: the channel ID of the channel which will be scanned. Flag: bitmap, reserved for future use. The channle scan procedure: The AP has two work mode: the first one is normal mode. In this mode, the AP can provide service for the STA access and scan the channel at the same time. Whether the AP will scan the channel is determined by the Max Cycles segment in the Channle Bind TLV. When this segment is set to 0, the AP will not scan the channle. If this segment is set to 255, the AP will continuous scan the channel. The type of the scan is determined by the Sacn Type segment. In the passive scan type, the AP monitor the airinterface, based on the received beacon frame to determine the nearby APs. In the active scan type, the AP will send probe message and receive the probe response message. In the normal scan mode, the AP will use 3 parameters: PrimeChlSrvTime, OnChannelScanTIme, OffChannelScnTIme. The AP will provide access service for the STAs for PrimeChlSrvTime duration and then start to scan the channel for On Channel ScnTime duration. Back to the working channel, provide STA access service for PrimeChlSrvTime, then leave the working channel, start to scan the next channel for Off Channel ScanTime duration. This process will be repeated until all the channel is scanned. When the AP work in the scan only mode, there is no difference between the working channel and scan channel. Every channel's scan duration will be OffChannelScnTime and the PrimeChlSrvTime and OnChannelScanTime is set to 0. Scan Report. THe AP send the scan report to the AC through WTP Event Request message. The information element that used to carry the scan report is Channel Scan Report TLV and Neighbor AP Report TLV.
