Distributed Network Resource Sharing AP in Inter-WLAN Environments (poster)

Published: 12 June 2019 Publication History

Abstract

As the number of wireless device deployments grows, it is desirable to share the highly limited wireless bandwidth efficiently and cooperatively. In WLAN, using a central controller for resource sharing and management is a common practice in mid-size and large-size network. However, in case of small businesses (i.e., restaurants, coffee shops, etc.), business owners cannot afford to obtain the controller. To realize the bandwidth sharing among Access Points (AP) in a distribute manner, seamless handoff of mobile devices (i.e., smartphones and tablets) between small-business owned Access Points (APs) via association control and maintain stable TCP connection are essential but quite challenging. This poster proposes a novel way to cooperatively share wireless resources among the APs. This includes an efficient association control between stations and APs, dedicated virtual access point per station, and tunneling support maintaining existing TCP connection after relocation to another AP.
