IEEE 802.11v

802.11 is a set of IEEE standards that govern wireless networking transmission methods. They are commonly used today in their 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g versions to provide wireless connectivity in the home, office and some commercial establishments.

Wireless Network Management

IEEE 802.11v is the Wireless Network Management standard for the IEEE 802.11 family of standards. TGv is working on an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to allow configuration of client devices while connected to IEEE 802.11 networks. The standard may include cellular-like management paradigms.

Status

The 802.11v standard is still in its early proposal stages.
