Priority: Low
Complexity: C1
- Add support for PMK Caching from 802.11-2007. This is sometimes referred to
as "fast, secure roam back". Essentially the client caches PMKIDs generated
when connecting to various APs. If the client roams back to an AP that has
already been connected to, and the PMK is cached by both, then the 802.1X
exchange can be skipped.
Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Add support for Pre-authentication from 802.11-2007. This allows the client
to pre-authenticate to a target AP. The 802.1X exchange is done through the
currently connected AP, but with the target AP as the 'authenticator'. The
process creates a new PMK which is cached by both the target AP and the
client. The client can then roam onto the target AP using a process similar
to PMK caching outlined above.
Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Add support for Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC). This is not defined by
any 802.11 standards, but is made available by major vendors such as Cisco
and Microsoft.
Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Add support for Direct Link Setup from 802.11e.
Priority: Low
Complexity: C8
- Add support for Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD). This includes
scheduled (s-APSD) and unscheduled (u-APSD). This will require rudimentary
support of WMM protocol. This feature was introduced in 802.11e.
Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Add support for Radio Resource Management from 802.11k. If supported by the
AP, allows the client to optimize its scanning strategy by obtaining the
channels of nearby APs that are part of the same ESS as the currently
connected AP. This requires the client to enable 'RM Enabled Capabilities'
element (section 8.4.2.47) appropriately, and send appropriately formatted
Action frames to request relevant reports from the AP. The reports from the
AP will be received via Management frames and contain multiple Neighbor
Report elements (8.4.2.39). Also examine how AP Channel Report element
(8.4.2.38) is used.
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C4
- Add support for Fast BSS Transition (FT) from 802.11r. There are a couple
of modes for FT supported. 'FT over DS' and 'FT over air'. In FT over DS,
action frames can be used to perform a 4-way handshake to the target AP
while still connected to the current AP. FT over air folds 4-way handshake
messages into authenticate/authenticate response and
reassociate/reassociate response messages.
In theory, it is possible to use FT with PSK networks.
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C8
- Add support for 802.11u. This is required for Passpoint 2.0 support.
Priority: Low
Complexity: C8
- Add support for Wireless Network Management (WNM) from 802.11v. Parts of
this are needed for Passpoint support.
Priority: Low
Complexity: C8
- Add support for Protected Management Frames (PMF) from 802.11w. This allows
the management frames to be encrypted and thus secured. In particular, this
is extremely important for 802.11r (FT) and 802.11k (RRM) support.
Priority: High
Complexity: C4
- Add support for Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) from 802.11z.
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C8
