Hi Ben: You need one STA and at least two APs (preferably on two different channels) to make 802.11k/v test cases. This is because Neighbor Reports are not very useful with only one AP (the connected AP), and 802.11v Transition Management requires at least two APs for non-MBO operation. While hostapd and wpa_supplicant contain most of the protocol-level functionality to send and parse the required elements in 802.11 management frames to support 802.11k/v, the logic implementation is not complete. For example, an AP central controller will send Beacon Report requests to a STA through different APs, then analyze the results to consider sending an 802.11v Transition Management request to the STA.
Hello, I started working on the beacon report request. It appears that APs cannot send to a station that is not connected to it. So, in that case, the controller cannod do what you suggest above. Is this a limitation in hostapd or did I mis-understand what you are suggesting? I *am* able to send beacon requests to a STA from the AP (hostapd) to which it is connected.
