Describes an advanced system for coordinating spectrum allocation and utilization for access points operating within the 6-GHz band.

Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) is an advanced system that

  • coordinates the allocation and utilization of spectrum for access points (APs) that operate within the 6-GHz band

  • utilizes the Universal Licensing System (ULS) as a regulatory database (encompassing a wide range of frequency bands used by various radio frequency services within a specific region), which is updated daily by the FCC, the regultory body, and

  • ensures seamless and efficient management of spectrum resources, enabling optimal utilization of spectrum and minimizing interference among different radio frequency services.

AFC system benefits and operation

The FCC's decision to open the 6-GHz band for unlicensed Wi-Fi usage brings about significant advantages, including accelerated connectivity and expanded capacity. By unlocking the potential of the 6-GHz band, you can experience unprecedented performance and seamless connectivity, effortlessly engage in data-intensive activities and enjoy immersive online experiences.

Several other technologies, including fixed satellite services (FSS) used in the broadcast and cable industries, are already active in the 6-GHz band. To ensure that the new unlicensed Wi-Fi entrants do not interfere with current services, FCC has implemented the AFC system for Wi-Fi operation within this band. Indoor APs operate at reduced power levels and are less likely to interfere with current 6-GHz users. The outdoor or standard power APs have a higher probability of causing interference with the existing 6-GHz users. These APs are permitted to operate only within the frequency ranges allocated to each country. For example, in the US, APs are authorized to function in the 5.925-6.425 GHz and 6.525-7.125 GHz bands.

Under the AFC system, a new wireless device is required to verify its compatibility with the existing services. This is done by accessing a registered database of the local AFC system provided by an AFC service provider before starting data transmission. This compatibility check ensures that the device's operation does not cause any interference with the current services. To facilitate the compatibility check, the AFC provider maintains an extensive database containing information about the existing 6-GHz operators, including geolocation details, frequencies in use, power levels, antenna coverage, and other relevant data. For areas where an AFC service is available, outdoor or standard power 6-GHz Wi-Fi deployments are only authorized if they comply with the AFC guidelines.

Individual standard power APs are exempt from interfacing directly with the AFC system, if the necessary registration data is communicated by a proxy device such as the wireless controller. Still, APs are responsible for providing their precise location information. In return, they receive a designated set of available frequencies suitable for that specific location.

Figure 1. AFC architecture

AFC architecture includes these components:

  • Cisco Catalyst APs supporting 6-GHz

  • Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller acting as AFC proxy

  • A cloud-based wireless proxy tunneling the communication between the AFC proxy and the AFC system

  • AFC System

The 6-GHz AFC workflow operates as follows:

  1. A standard power AP joins the system. Before enabling standard power, the AP must get the available frequencies and the power in each frequency range from the AFC system.

  2. The AFC proxy sends the AP information to the AFC system.

  3. The AFC system computes the available frequencies and maximum allowable power based on the information provided by the regulatory body (FCC for United States).

  4. The response is sent back to controller, which may assign a standard power channel to the AP based on the allowed channel list returned by the AFC system.

Automated Frequency Coordination

Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) is an advanced system for coordinating the allocation and utilization of spectrum for access points (APs) that operate within the 6-GHz band.

This feature is supported on the following APs:

  • Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9136I Access Point

  • Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9163E Access Point

  • Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9166D Access Point

  • Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9166I Access Point

  • Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9162I Access Point

  • Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9164I Access Point

  • Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9167IW IIoT Access Point

Prerequisites for Automated Frequency Coordination

These are the prerequisites for Automated Frequency Coordination:

  • Ensure that there is cloud connectivity from the controller to the cloud, with a DNS entry in place. AFC operates through either the management port or data ports.

    The AFC request is sent only when the controller is onboarded with cloud. This is automatic for hardware platforms like 9800-80, 9800-40 and 9800-L. For cloud controller, you have to manually enter a one-time password (OTP). See Onboarding the Cloud Controller.

  • Before sending an AFC request, check whether the AFC service can be requested by using the show wireless afc ap command. If command output shows yes or up status for all the parameters of an AP, then request is sent out.

  • Standard APs must register with the AFC system by providing these parameters:

    • Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude)

    • Antenna height above ground level and tolerance as uncertainty height

    • FCC identification number

    • Manufacturer’s unique serial number

    • Firewall Requirements - Ensure your network firewall allows outbound traffic to:

      • dnaservices.cisco.com on port 443

      • commercial.ocsp.identrust.com on port 80

Restrictions for Automated Frequency Coordination

These are the restrictions for AFC:

  • AFC is not supported on Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC).

Onboard the cloud controller (GUI)

Onboarding the cloud controller requires the generation of a one-time password (OTP). Controller must register with cloud framework to access any cloud service. The cloud service provides identity management services to the controller and securely authenticates the device.

Note

These steps apply only to the Cisco Catalyst 9800-CL Wireless Controller for Cloud, and are not applicable to the hardware-based Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controllers.

Follow these steps to onboard the cloud controller:

Configure power mode per RF profile (CLI)

Allow or disallow standard power mode in configuration per RF profile for 6-GHz band APs.

You can allow or disallow standard power mode in configuration per RF profile. However, the operating mode for each RF profile is determined based on the configuration, the capabilities of the AP, and the response from the AFC system regarding channel and transmit power values. If there is no connection with the AFC system or if the received Tx power values are extremely low, the AP might automatically switch from standard-power mode to low-power mode as a fallback.

If the standard power granted by the AFC server is greater than the low power, the radio is switched to standard power mode in the case of mixed-mode APs. If the granted standard power is equal to or greater than the low power, the radio is switched to standard power mode.

Note

As outdoor APs operate only in standard power mode, the RF profile configuration for the standard power mode is not evaluated.

Note

We recommend using standard power indoors for unparalleled speed and coverage. While the client and vendor ecosystem is evolving, the current Cisco standard power technology continues to provide advantages for existing standard power and dual-mode clients. Low-power clients will default to 2.4/5GHz until they are fully upgraded to standard power by the client vendors.

Procedure

1.

Enter global configuration mode.

Example:

Device# configure terminal
2.

Configure the RF profile and enter RF profile configuration mode.

Example:

Device(config)# ap dot11 6ghz rf-profile rf-profile-name

Example:

Device(config)# ap dot11 6ghz rf-profile prof-afc
3.

Configure standard-power mode for 6 GHz band for APs that are capable of low power (LP) and standard power (SP).

Example:

Device(config-rf-profile)# tx-power standard

APs that support only SP mode are not affected by this setting (SP mode is always enabled).
4.

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Example:

Device(config-rf-profile)# end
The RF profile is configured with standard power mode for the 6 GHz band, allowing APs to operate in standard power mode when conditions permit.

Configure power mode per RF profile (GUI)

This task enables standard-power service for dual-power mode APs to operate as standard power APs in the 6 GHz spectrum, allowing access to external AFC service through cloud.

The AP can access the external AFC service through cloud. Based on geographical coordinates and spectrum-inquiry requests from APs, the AFC provides responses on the available frequencies and the maximum permissible power in each frequency range.

Procedure

1.

Go to Configuration > Tags & Profiles > RF/Radio.
2.

Click RF tab.

To add a new RF profile, see Configuring an RF Profile (GUI). To modify an existing RF profile, select the required RF profile.
3.

Enable Standard-Power Service to allow dual-power (low power or standard power) mode APs to operate as standard power APs in the 6 GHz spectrum.

The AP can access the external AFC service through cloud. Based on geographical coordinates and spectrum-inquiry requests from APs, the AFC provides responses on the available frequencies and the maximum permissible power in each frequency range.

Note

  • This setting is available for the 6-GHz band radio and standard-power supported APs only.

  • DNA services need to be configured to connect to AFC. You can configure DNA services in Configuration > Services > Cloud Services > DNA Services page.
4.

Click Apply to Device.
Dual-power mode APs are now configured to operate as standard power APs in the 6 GHz band. They can access external AFC service through the cloud, with available frequencies and maximum permissible power determined by AFC responses.

Configure AP parameters (GUI)

AFC requires the longitude, latitude, and height of the AP to determine the geolocation of the AP. Longitude and latitude of the AP will be automatically calculated based on one of the following methods:

  • From an internal or external GPS attached to the AP.

  • From an another AP with GPS (also known as anchor AP) and the distance between the two APs.

Note

Only a few APs on a floor require the GPS unit. The remaining APs can derive their location from the AP with the GPS unit.

You can use bulk AP provisioning to configure multiple AP parameters for multiple APs simultaneously. GUI path is Configure > Wireless > Bulk AP Provisioning.

Procedure

1.

Go to Configuration > Wireless > Access Points.
2.

In the All Access Points section, select a supported AP.
3.

In the Geolocation tab, enter these details:

  1. In the Height Configuration section, enter the above ground level height in meters. The range is from -100 to 1000. Enter the tolerance as uncertainty height in meters. The range is from 1 to 100.

  2. In the GNSS External Antenna Configuration section, enter the cable length in meters.The range is from 1 to 100, with a default of 10. We recommend that you keep the default value of 10 meters with the Cisco provided external antenna.

Note
This option is available on selected models that support an external antenna.
4.

Click Apply to Device.
The AP geolocation and antenna parameters are updated. APs without direct GPS will derive their location from anchor APs as needed. Bulk provisioning allows you to configure multiple APs efficiently.

Configure AP parameters (CLI)

Set up AP geolocation parameters including height and GNSS antenna configuration for accurate positioning.
To configure the height and GNSS antenna details of the AP, use the following procedure:

Procedure

1.

Enable privileged EXEC mode.

Example:

Device> enable
2.

Configure the AP Above Ground Level (AGL) height in meters.

Example:

Device# ap name ap-name geolocation height height uncertainty uncertainty

Example:

Device# ap name cisco-ap1 geolocation height 100 uncertainty 10

The value range for height is -100 to 1000 meters. The valid range for height uncertainty is 1 to 100 meters.
3.

(Optional) Configure AP GNSS antenna external cable length, in meters.

Example:

Device# ap name ap-name geolocation gnss antenna external cable-length length

Example:

Device# ap name cisco-ap1 geolocation gnss antenna external cable-length 10

The value range for cable length is 1 to 100, with a default value of 10.

Note

This configuration step is required only if GNSS is using an external antenna.
The AP geolocation parameters are now configured with the specified height and GNSS antenna settings.
