Wireless virtualization on commodity 802.11 hardware

Published: 10 September 2007 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we describe specific challenges in virtualizing a wireless network and multiple strategies to address them. Among different possible wireless virtualization strategies, our current work in this domain is focussed on a Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) approach. Hence, we we present our experiences in the design and implementation of such TDM-based wireless virtualization. Our wireless virtualization system is specifically targeted for multiplexing experiments on a large-scale 802.11 wireless testbed facility.
