Handover in Mininet-wifi in a Mobility scenario with AP in same channel as well as different channel
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Hi,
I am currently working on a Mobility scenario in Mininet-Wifi which requires handovers between APs of same channel as well as different channel.
I have tired using OdinMobilityManager Application and it works perfectly as stated in the same channel AP while I use MobilityManager Application for APs in different channel. .
Is there any way I can use either of the application to simulate my need. It will be of great help.
Thanks.
As you can see here (https://github.com/Wi5/odin-wi5/wiki/Applications)
SmartApSelection: It is a proactive application that is in charge of mobility management and load balancing simultaneously. It performs periodical scans, gets the information and, if needed, hands off STAs between APs. It has different modes for load balancing.
MobilityManager: It is a reactive application that is in charge of handoffs. When the STA moves, the origin AP reports this fact to the controller, and this triggers the whole proccess. The statistics obtained with the auxiliary wireless interface are used for selecting the best suited AP for the STA. A seamless handoff is run between the "origin" and the "destination" APs. It is not coordinated with load balancing.
Both applications perform multi-channel handoffs when needed. BUT if the APs are in the same channel, they perform single-channel handoffs.
