In this paper we present a Multimedia Wireless Management System, which can be used on-line to assess and guarantee the quality of multimedia traffic in a wireless network. The proposed platform uses both network and application layer metrics to build up a scalable quality assessment of multimedia traffic. Moreover, the system provides traffic provisioning capabilities by coordinating the netwo...

As the NSFNET backbone service migrates into a commercial environment, so will access to the only set of publicly available statistics for a large national U.S. backbone. The transition to the new NSFNET program, with commercially operated services providing both regional service as well as cross-service provider switching points, or Network Access Points (NAPs), will render statistics collecti...

This is an implementation of the Wireless LAN Intrusion Detection System (WIDS ) using clock-skews as a fingerprinting property as suggested by Jana-Kasera [1]. Our objective is to detect the presence of a fake access point (AP) in a Wireless LAN (WLAN). Use of clock -skew enables us to effectively detect Medium Access Control (MAC) Address spoofing. The principle used in this project is that c...

Browser technologies for handled devices are one of several key enablers for the mobile Internet. Of the competing browser technologies, Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) emerges as the dominant solution for second-generation systems. In this context, the paper provides a brief background to WAP and goes on to compare it against competing technologies and solutions.

In dense wireless environments a large number of WLANs may overlap and interfere with one another. This paper reports on two wireless measurement experiments designed to study access point (AP) interference. The first experiment shows that using only non-overlapping channels may not be optimal. The second experiment examines the relationship between access point transmission power and throughpu...

Users of wireless networks increasingly face a choice among multiple available access points. Clients generally make this decision with limited information about the access points or traffic trends in the system. We examine the strategic implications of an emerging wireless technology: utilizing multiple access points (APs) simultaneously. Clients using this technology require up-to-date inform...

Providing wireless networking to vehicles has been identified as a near-term goal by the automotive industry in the support of basic Internet access as well as an enabler to a variety of safety enhancement applications. Network connectivity to on-board computers can be provided via existing mobile telephony; however, these systems rely on both expensive infrastructure (cell towers) and a strong...

The IETF’s CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) WG has identified that a standards-based protocol is necessary between a wireless Access Controller and Wireless Termination Points (the latter are also commonly referred to as Lightweight Access Points). This specification defines the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP), which addresses the CAPWAP’s (Control and Provi...
