Overview of Radio Resource Management
This section describes the definition, background, and functions of radio resource management.
Definition
Radio resource management enables APs to check the surrounding radio environment, dynamically adjust working channels and transmit power, and evenly distribute access users. This function helps reduce radio signal interference, adjust radio coverage, and enable a wireless network to quickly adapt to changes in the radio environment. With the radio resource management function, the wireless network can provide high service quality for wireless users and maintain an optimal radio resource utilization.
Purpose
WLAN technology uses radio signals (such as 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio waves) as transmission medium. Radio waves will attenuate when they are transmitted over air, degrading service quality for wireless users. Radio resource management enables a WLAN to adapt to changes in the radio environment by dynamically adjusting radio resources. This improves service quality for wireless users.
