On the cisco what is your session timeout set to?  The default is enabled and 
1800 seconds it’s under wlan and advanced tab.  Also you may want to check this 
link and look into what your broadcast key rotation is set to.  The default is 
1hr.   I saw lots of issues with androids in the past with this and clients 
would drop every hour.

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] iPads and sleep issues

Christopher,

We have a group on campus that has about 40 iPads in a cart for student use. We 
never had a connection issue per se with these iPads, but we did notice that 
every hour (literally every 60 minutes) we would see all of the iPads that were 
asleep and connected to a single AP suddenly disconnect then reconnect. Our 
wireless vendor is Cisco. To my knowledge when they woke them up they never had 
an issue with connecting them, we just happened to notice an hourly dip in our 
Prime connection graphs during the summer.

I'm not sure if this helps or not....

May I ask, who is your wireless vendor?

I'm looking to collect some other information to help inform our process to 
resolve an issue we are experiencing on our wireless infrastructure.  I have an 
open incident with my vendor and they are working on a resolution, but I'm 
trying to determine if we are the only ones dealing with this.

We have a large deployment of iPads (1500) on our campus. somewhat evenly 
distributed across iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad 4 and iPad 3 and almost all are 
running iOS 8.x.

We had an issue crop up this fall when a group of iPads all connected to the 
same access point all go to sleep at the same time.  The access point seems to 
lose track of which devices are asleep and which aren't and it ends up 
overwhelming the RF space with RTS packets to iPads that don't respond, thus 
rendering every other client on the access point almost non-functional.

Has anyone seen wireless transmit issues related to iOS "sleep" mode? The 
packet captures indicate that the iPads seem to oscillate quickly between 
"sleep" and "awake" and eventually end up asleep will the AP thinks that they 
are still awake.

Obviously, I'm in the middle of a bit of finger pointing between the wireless 
vendor and Apple and other data points can only help.

Thanks,
Christopher
