WiFi Roaming Access Point Optimum Assignment in Urban Multi-Sensor

WiFi Multi Access Point Smart Home IoT Architecture

The paper presents the concept of the wireless sensor network dedicated to smart home applications. The innovative characteristic of this network is related to its use for information transfer and routing of selected sensors that simultaneously serve as Access Points and network clients. As a result, we obtain an alternative for the popular solutions based on AdHoc idea. Network traffic creates...

Supporting Session and Access Point Mobility in a Large Multi-provider Multi-vendor Municipal WiFi Network

We present a simple network design for a large multi-provider municipal WiFi network where the WiFi zones of multiple organizations are merged into a single IP subnet at a central layer 2 switch. The design provides built-in session mobility support for the WiFi clients using the network, without any additional software at the client. We also provide a simple design for mobile access points so ...

Generalized Roaming and Access Selection in Multi-operator Environments

In a multi-operator environment where several operators offer high-speed local wireless access, geographical sharing is an attractive way to increase the coverage and resource efficiency so that ”interesting” services can be offered. This paper investigates two different access selection strategies for three typical environments (hotspot, urban, and suburban) to establish when, and to what exte...

Detection and analysis of the Chameleon WiFi access point virus

This paper analyses and proposes a novel detection strategy for the ‘Chameleon’ WiFi AP-AP virus. Previous research has considered virus construction, likely virus behaviour and propagation methods. The research here describes development of an objective measure of virus success, the impact of product susceptibility, the acceleration of infection and the growth of the physical area covered by t...
