چکیده
Introduction: There has been intense interest in the worldwide deployment of wireless local area networks (WLANs) during the past two years. Public WLANs (PWLANs) are becoming popular at university campuses, hotels, restaurants and other public sites [1–3]. Currently, however, few papers discuss PWLAN traffic utilisation. This Letter presents measurement results of typical PWLAN traffic statistics from real-world PWLANs operating in two popular restaurants in Austin, Texas, during the summer of 2003.

A Multilateral Secure Payment System for Wireless LAN Hotspots
Beginning with the adoption of the de-facto standard for wireless LAN communications IEEE 802.11 in 1999 we can observe a continuous growth of public wireless LAN hotspots that provide access to the Internet for modern road warriors. Unfortunately, current hotspots still suffer from several security drawbacks. In this paper we analyse how payment schemes used in current hotspot architectures co...
متن کاملHeterogeneity-Aware Load Balancing for Multimedia Access over Wireless LAN Hotspots
Wireless LAN (WLAN) access in public hotspot areas becomes popular in the recent years. Since more and more multimedia information is available in the Internet, there is an increasing demand for accessing multimedia information through WLAN hotspots. Currently, the bandwidth offered by an IEEE 802.11 WLAN cannot afford many simultaneous real-time video accesses. A possible way to increase the o...

We provide an experiment analysis of MIMM (Multi Interface Mobility Management) demonstrated in a heterogeneous network involving 802.11b and CDMA access technologies. Wireless LAN (WLAN), or Wi Fi is becoming prevalent means of access to the wireless internet. Especially the advent of the hotspot service brings the roaming user the benefit of receiving broadband internet access while outside o...
متن کاملCharacterization of user activity and traffic in a commercial nationwide Wi-Fi hotspot network: global and individual metrics
This paper presents the characterization of a commercial nationwide Wi-Fi hotspot network. We examine a 5 month long log of user activity and traffic volume collected by a wireless network service provider operating hotspots in restaurants, serviced apartments, hotels and airports all over Australia. We categorize users based on their account time limits to analyze the impact of account stratif...
متن کاملCost- and Energy-Aware Multi-Flow Mobile Data Offloading Using Markov Decision Process
With the rapid increase in demand for mobile data, mobile network operators are trying to expand wireless network capacity by deploying wireless local area network (LAN) hotspots on which they can offload their mobile traffic. However, these network-centric methods usually do not fulfill the interests of mobile users (MUs). Taking into consideration many issues, MUs should be able to decide whe...
