Abstract
This paper presents the design and prototype implementation of a manageable WLAN Access Point (mAP). mAP has been developed for managing WLAN Quality of Service (QoS), frequency selection, client configuration, and for collecting a wide range of management information. The prototype is implemented using a Linux platform. With the presented architecture, the mAP functionality can be easily extended by adding new management functions and automated services.
