The network quality of Wi-Fi is assured with radio physical layer and protocol interface conformance to standards,
effective operator radio resource management, and high levels of interoperability with certified devices, and support
of KPIs.

Wi-Fi network providers should have the means to manage radio resources, including the ability to, but not limited to,
manage the following list of parameters:

• Transmit power
• MCS rates

• MIMO and MU-MIMO configurations

• Beam forming configurations
• Channel bandwidth

• Maximum throughput per device
• Carrier sense thresholds

• Multi Band configuration and steering of devices, which can include dynamic traffic load sharing across bands
• Subscriber and service-driven dynamic load balancing among APs, bands and channels

• Channel assignments

• Interference avoidance and mitigation for higher density deployments
• Wi-Fi network providers should also have the support and ability to collect and monitor the KPIs
listed below:
o Received signal strength from devices

o Noise and interference levels
o Packet error rates and packet loss rates

o Throughput of uplink and downlink per device
o Device location

o Load threshold indicators
o Channel utilization

o Band utilization
o Rogue AP detection
o Neighbor AP detection

o Delays, latencies and jitter for traffic uplink and downlink
