Abstract
A method and node for providing scalable radio resource management, RRM, in a wireless local area network, WLAN, are provided. According to one aspect, a method in a self-organizing network, SON, manager node includes receiving radio frequency, RF, scan data from wireless access points, AP, creating network segments of limited sizes based on the RF scan data, and periodically executing an RRM optimization algorithm in an RRM time slot in each of successive RRM periods.
