当前无规划无线局域网（WLAN）的激增产生了实施不同自适应策略的需要，以在突变和演进的干扰场景下提高网络性能。在这篇文章中，我们设想了一个新的解决方案，表达和实施高层次的适应政策，在无线局域网中，与目前的方法的基础上，特定于供应商的实现。我们利用硬件抽象接口最近提出的无线媒体访问控制（MAC）处理器（WMP）的架构和一些流控制的概念类似的Openflow模型定义MAC自适应策略。一个简单的控制体系结构，多个节点之间的传播和激活新的政策进行了验证，在实验测试床。
The current proliferation of unplanned wireless local area networks (WLANs) is creating the need for implementing different adaptation strategies to improve network performance under mutating and evolving interference scenarios. In this article, we envision a new solution for expressing and implementing high-level adaptation policies in WLANs, in contrast to the current approaches based on vendor-specific implementations. We exploit the hardware abstraction interface recently proposed by the wireless medium access control (MAC) processor (WMP) architecture and some flow-control concepts similar to the Openflow model for defining MAC adaptation policies. A simple control architecture for disseminating and activating new policies among multiple nodes is validated in an experimental testbed.
