CAPWAP
A standards-based tunneling protocol that defines communication between a lightweight AP and a wireless LAN controller.
centralized WLC deployment
A wireless network design that places a WLC centrally within a network topology.
cloud-based AP
A wireless AP operating much like an autonomous AP, but having management and control functions present in the Internet cloud.
cloud-based WLC deployment
A wireless network design that places a WLC centrally within a network topology, as a virtual machine in the private cloud portion of a data center.
embedded WLC deployment
A wireless network design that places a WLC in the access layer, co-located with a LAN switch stack, near the APs it controls.
lightweight AP

Media Access Control (MAC) layer
A low-level function performed as part of Layer 2; in wireless networks, this function can be divided between a wireless LAN controller and a lightweight AP to form a split-MAC architecture.
Mobility Express WLC deployment
A wireless network design that places a WLC collocated with a lightweight AP.
split-MAC architecture
A wireless AP strategy based around the idea that normal AP functions are split or divided between a wireless LAN controller and lightweight APs.
unified WLC deployment
