thanks. I have gone through this documents, I need to know how the communication happens over WAN? how CAPWAP tunnel is formed b/w AP and WLC over WAN?

No difference in CAPWAP process. Simply use UDP 5247 for capwap-data & UDP 5246 for capwap-control.
If you configured WLAN for FlexConnect local switching, then data traffic is locally terminated at AP (& to the AP connected switch), In that case only control traffic is capwap back to WLC.
If WLAN is configured for central switching, then both data & control traffic is capwap back to WLC (similar to local mode operation)
