static-neighbor-reports
The static-neighbor-reports package allows a user to configure static neighbor reports which
are available for clients to be polled in case they support IEEE802.11k. This greatly improves
the wireless experiences in terms of mobility.
Make sure to enable ieee80211k for each Virtual Access Point (VAP) neighbor reports should be
installed to.
Configuring
The uci config name is static-neighbor-report. There's currently only the section
type neighbor.
neighbor
The following options are supported for neighbor sections:
neighbor_report
This is the binary neighbor report element from a foreign AP. It is required for each neighbor.
disabled
Values other than 0 disable the neighbor. It won't be installed into hostapd in this case.
If this option is missing, the neighbor is implicitly active.
bssid
The BSSID of the foreign AP. This option can usually be omitted, as it's implicitly present in the first 6 bytes of the binary neighbor report element.
ssid
The SSID of the foreign AP. This option can be omitted, in case it matches the SSID used on the local AP.
iface
Space separated list of hostapd interfaces the neighbor should be installed to.
Retrieving neighbor information
To retrieve the neighbor informations of an AP to be isntalled on a foreign AP, make sure the UCI option
ieee80211k is set to 1 on the VAP.
Execute ubus call hostapd.<ifname> rrm_nr_get_own on the AP. To get a list of all available interfaces,
execute ubus list.
The returned information follows this format:
{
"value": [
"<BSSID>",
"<SSID>",
"<Neighbor report element>"
]
}
