Towards service and user discovery on wireless networks

Published: 01 October 2004 Publication History

Abstract

This work presents a user position management system for Wi-Fi networks. The location system is based on access point coverage range and beacon devices. The implementation was made over an authentication system extended to manage SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) in order to handle network events, and SLP (Service Location Protocol) to provide and collect service usage information per user.
