Pico Cell Functionality

Pico Cell functionality includes optimization of the Operating System (OS) to support this functionality as follows:

The Cisco WCS Pico Cell Mode parameter reconfigures OS parameters, allowing OS to function efficiently in pico cell deployments. Note that when the operator is deploying a pico cell network the OS must also have more memory allocated (512 to 2048 MB) using the config database size 2048 CLI command.

Client mobility between multiple mobility domains when such exist.

Addition of a WPA2 VFF extension to eliminate the need to re-key after every association. This allows the re-use of existing PTK and GTK.

With WPA2 PMK caching and VFF, the PMK cache is transferred as part of context transfer prior to the authentication phase. This allows expedited handoffs to work for both intra- and inter-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller roaming events.

A beacon/probe response that allows a Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point to indicate which Cisco Wireless LAN Controller it is attached to so that reauthorization events only occur when needed, minimizing inter-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller handoffs and thus reducing CPU usage.

Allows changes to Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point sensitivity for pico cells.

Allows control of Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point fallback behavior to optimize pico cell use.

Supports heat maps for directional antennas.

Allows specific control over blacklisting events

Allows configuring and viewing basic LWAPP configuration using the Cisco 1000 Series light- weight access point CLI.
