Radio Measurement Control Flow August 2002 Radio Measurement Control Flow Define STA measurement control flow the same for APs and client stations Provide measurement access to higher level management entities via the SME layer Leverage TGh measurement architecture STA stores local measurement results and requested peer results in MIB parameters Tim Olson, Cisco Systems Daryl Kaiser, Cisco Systems
