This document describes the Configuration and Provisioning for Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) problem statement.

Today 2.4 GHz based wireless sensor networks are increasing at a tremendous pace, and are seen in widespread applications. Product innovation and support by many vendors in 2.4 GHz makes it a preferred choice, but the networks are prone to issues like interference, and range issues. On the other hand, the less popular 868 MHz in the ISM band has not seen significant usage. In this paper we expl...

This paper is provided in connection with the 2007 Telecommunications Symposium – Voice, Video and Broadband: The Changing Competitive Landscape and Its Impact on Consumers, sponsored by the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“the Division”). Our focus is on the state of competition in the wireless sector. Maintaining a competitive wireless sector is particularly critical if,...

Currently there is no effective pharmacological method for treating problem drinkers without having negative side effects. Although previous studies indicate that brief office technique has positive effects on decreasing drinking. Problem drinkers’ behavior change is still the most effective “cure”. With Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) enabled, cellular phones with access to Internet provid...

By definition, IEEE 802.11 wireless LANS (WLANs) are constantly in flux. There is no way to predict where a particular client will be at any moment, making it equally impossible to predetermine the load on any wireless access point (AP). How will 802.11 Wi-Fi networks running in adjoining offices or on different floors affect one another? Even something as seemingly trivial as rearranging cubic...

Nowadays, the industry of harvesting palm sap in Sri Lanka is facing many problems due to theft and environmental affects. In this paper, we propose a solution for the particular problem by using a wireless sensor network based system to monitor the palm sap production of a large plantation area. We are using an enhanced version of TikiriDB which provides a database abstraction on the sensor ne...

Real deployments of wireless sensor networks (WSN) are rare, and virtually all have considerable limitations when the application in critical scenarios is concerned. On one side, research in WSNs tends to favour complex and non-realistic mechanisms and protocols and, on the other side, the responsible for the critical scenarios, such as the industry, still prefer well-known but expensive analog...

Das Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten, aber auch neue Herausforderungen für die Gestaltung und Entwicklung von mobilen, nomadischen Informationssystemen. In diesem Workshop sollen die Stärken und Schwächen von WAP in Bezug auf benutzerorientierte Gestaltung und technische Machbarkeit erörtert werden. Dazu werden Teilnehmer aus Wissenschaft und Praxis zu Vorträgen u...

Cheap and available wireless devices are commonly used at our home and in institutions. Wireless local area networks (WLAN), new type of networks set us free from problems of changing wall socket location. That kind of LANs makes access to the Internet more comfortable. We do not have to drill holes in walls and put cables to connect another workstation to the existing network. To avoid such pr...
