The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is widely deployed in second and third generation mobile cellular networks. Special benefits of GPRS are mobility management as well as support of authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). However, the data rates of GPRS are low and the price is high, compared to wired networks or Wireless LAN. Furthermore, Wireless LAN hotspots are starting to...

With the growth of wireless technologies rapidly, there will be coexist heterogeneous wireless LANs environment within a few years. For example, there may be coexist current wireless LAN systems based widely available 802.11 and a wireless LAN system based proprietary wireless LAN standard with different AAA mechanisms such as RADIUS and Diameter. In case of being coexisted the heterogeneous wi...

Wireless Communication is an application of science and technology that has come to be vital for modern existence. From the early radio and telephone to current devices such as mobile phones and laptops, accessing the global network has become the most essential and indispensable part of our lifestyle. Wireless communication is an ever developing field, and the future holds many possibilities i...

Wireless LAN discovery through the use of applications such as NetStumbler, DStumbler, Wellenreiter and others is an increasingly popular technique for network penetration. The discovery of a wireless LAN might be used for seemingly innocuous Internet access, or to be used as a "backdoor" into a network to stage an attack. This paper reviews some of the tactics used in wireless LAN network disc...

Over the past few years, mobile networks have emerged as a promising approach for future mobile IP applications. With limited frequency resources, designing an effective MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol is a hot challenge. IEEE 802.11b/g/a/n networks are currently the most popular wireless LAN products on the market [1]. The conventional IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g/a specification provide up t...

A transport-layer solution for alleviating TCP unfairness in a wireless LAN environment, " IEICE Transactions on Communications, Trade-off evaluation between fairness and throughput for TCP congestion control mechanisms in a wireless LAN environment, " in Pro-and analysis of power consumption in TCP data transmission over a wireless LAN environment, " in Proceedings of ICC Energy efficiency ana...

The wireless LAN(Wi-Fi) infrastructure is widely used and many location-aware systems and services are researched. In this paper, wireless LAN based indoor positioning system WiPS is proposed. WiPS uses wireless LAN technology to measure the location of each mobile terminal. Mobile terminals equip only wireless LAN device to communicate and measure its location, so it can be made without any ad...
