I don't have any simulation code specific to this situation.

What are you using for your simulation? OPNET and ns
are two of the most widely used tools - the former is a
commercial tool (though they have pretty good licensing
terms for educational use) and the latter is a community
project. Either would be perfect for something like this.
And both have pretty good support communities to
help you with any specific questions.

So what I suggested would reduce the delay. The STA should send out the probe
requests periodically *before* it decides to roam. This will greatly
reduce the delay
in this step.

so i'm late to reply ur email..Actually once the STA decides to look for other
AP, the probing process starts.The STA starts sending out probe requests and
then processes received probe responses.The time involved in this probing
process is called probe delay.This delay contributes the largest delay in the
handoff process.
   I'm sure that can reduce the probe delay..My lecturer advice me to focus the
simulation on the handoff process first and then gain the result from the
simulation..do u have any reference that related to my project?

Could you explain what you mean by 'probe delay'?

The device could send out probe frames and build a list of available
APs that it could roam to while it is still associated with an AP. It
could periodicially update this list and sort it from 'best' to
'worst' depending on some criteria that you choose - signal strength
is the most choice but not the only one. When the time comes to roam,
it doesn't need to look for a suitable AP but uses this list to
associate. Would this approach reduce this 'probe delay'?

Typically AP will create the BSSID list (AP list) from
the beacons it receives. User level Apps like the
microsoft zero config go 'nuts' pumping in calls to
firmware for BSSID list scanning.
Based on a timer the Driver also initiates a scan for
BSSIDS. Access point list is not the bottleneck in
fast handoff. You can also look up Inter access point
protocol.

The data packets can traverse the air only after
association and authentication. Roaming tests with
attenuators will show the bottleneck. It depends on
the mobile unit and Access point / wireless switch
stack implementation.

Profile roaming algorithms are like google pages. It
can be a simple algorithm like signal strenth +
security policy . In the case of having multiple
access point availability and continuous roaming, user
patterns will have to be mapped .

New FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050


BERLIN, January 4

- VoIP, ADSL and WLAN in One Device:

- Internet Telephony Now with ISDN Phones

- New Top of the FRITZ!Box Fon Line Available Now

Router, ADSL modem, WLAN access point, and PBX in one device

Use existing phones to dial Internet and fixed-line calls

Extensions for ISDN and POTS equipment: ISDN S0 NT and three analog
ports

Internet telephony with the computer turned off

Cross reference: Picture is available via EPA (European Pressphoto
Agency)

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050, from the Berlin communications specialist
AVM, is available now. The new product takes its place at the top of
the FRITZ!Box Fon line, combining a router, an ADSL modem, wireless
LAN, and a VoIP PBX in one. Connected extension phones can dial
calls over the Internet or the fixed line. Moreover, the new model
supports the use of ISDN equipment-phones and PBXs-for Internet
telephony, or Voice-over-IP. ISDN features such as three-party
calls, call forwarding and Caller ID are also provided with Internet
calls. The router provides Internet access to computers connected
through one USB and two LAN ports. For wireless connections, FRITZ!
Box Fon WLAN supports 802.11g++ at 125 Mbit/s, as well as WPA2
encryption. FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 is on sale now for EUR 171,55
plus applicable VAT.

Full ISDN Convenience in Internet Telephony The new FRITZ!Box Fon
WLAN 7050 provides three analog extensions and an ISDN S0 port for
Internet and landline calls. This is thus the first product of its
kind to extend VoIP capabilities to ISDN telephones and ISDN PBXs.
In addition to excellent voice fidelity, using ISDN terminal
equipment also permits the use of ISDN convenience features such as
parallel calls, call waiting, call forwarding, Caller ID,
spontaneous dialing, and three-party calls in Internet telephony. If
you connect a ISDN DECT base station, you can still dial its
individual handsets separately, since FRITZ!Box Fon manages up to 10
numbers-even with different providers. The ISDN features must also
be supported in the network by the VoIP provider.

Now Use ISDN Telephones on Analog Lines

The new FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 offers VoIP users more freedom than
they've ever known in combining terminal equipment and phone lines.
All extension phones can dial calls over the fixed line, whether
ISDN or POTS, and over the Internet. And both ISDN and analog
extension phones can be used, regardless of the type of phone line.
This ensures that existing equipment can continue in use, even if
the user later changes lines. In addition to the fixed line and
Internet PBX, AVM's star also combines a router and an ADSL modem in
one device. And it connects computers to ADSL over USB, two Ethernet
interfaces, and Wireless LAN. Maximum Wireless Security and
802.11g++

AVM's FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN demonstrates just how fast and secure
wireless ADSL access can be. Its integrated WPA2 encryption (under
the 802.11i standard), with compatible WLAN clients such as the new
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick, allows you to set up wireless networks that
are unbreakable by any known technique. In addition to the 802.11g
(54 Mbit/s) and 802.11b (11 Mbit/s) wireless standards, AVM now
provides 802.11g++, for 125 Mbit/s. The user data rates in g++ mode
are about 35 percent higher than with the 802.11g standard. FRITZ!
Box Fon WLAN 7050 Available Now

The new top-of-the-line FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 is on sale now. The
manufacturer's suggested retail price is EUR 171,55, plus applicable
VAT. AVM provides a five-year warranty, free support and free
firmware updates to integrate new features.

CW,

If the downstream traffic starts before the TSPECs have been agreed
upon, the AP knows about the resources used by the downstream traffic
and how much bandwidth is left. It can reject any TSPEC that
interferes with this already-established flow. This is admission
control and the specifics of how it is done is left to the
implementor.

If the TSPECs have already been established, the AP knows the
resources that have been already allocated. When a new downstream flow
starts, the AP can verify if it has enough resources to support this
traffic. If the flow originates in outside the AP's BSS, something has
to tell the AP about the characteristics of the flow and what kind of
QoS is needed. If the downstream flow needs more resources than the AP
currently has, the AP can reject this flow or it can accept the flow
without guranteeing QoS and try its best. It is in a better position
than the QSTAs since it can pre-empt all BSS traffic by transmitting
after a PIFS.

In short, what the AP does in such a situation is a local policy
decision. Different implementations may take different actions in such
cases.

Hope this helps.

Harshal,
   I need more information here. We assume 2 cases:

   Case 1:
   A QSTA knows it requires quaranteed downstream bandwidth and it gets scheduled
TXOP from the QAP through TSPEC negotiation. In this case, the AP SME is aware
of the bandwidth reservation for the downstream flow.

   Case 2:
   Downstream traffic is iniatiated by an application residing in the QAP above
the wireless MAC. It requires rather constant bandwidth over a long time
(streaming 1 hour video, for example). For some reasons, this downstream flow is
not started by QSTA, no TSPEC has been exchanged, and thus no bandwidth
reservation.

   In case 2, is it still possible to protect the traffic? If not protected, it
will be compromised due to other QoS streams (polled TXOP).
   Please advise.

CW,

I think it is quite unlikely that the AP SME does not know the details
of its downstream traffic. The admission control module has to know
about all the scheduled traffic passing through the AP - both upstream
and downstream. If it does not have this complete picture, it cannot
make correct decisions about admitting new flows and cannot guarantee
QoS to any traffic.

If a situation occurs where a new downstream flow can potentially
disrupt an established TS, the AP can handle it as it chooses. It
could notify the QSTA that the TSPEC needs to be changed or it could
throttle the new flow and keep the established TSPEC intact.

Hope this helps.

Hello Harshal,
   I understand that the scheduled TXOP is requested by an QSTA and granted by
the AP SME.
   In this situation, if the AP SME is not aware of the AP requirement for
guaranteed downstream bandwidth, it may think it has sufficient capacity and
accept new TS request from QSTA. Once new TS is formed, the AP will protect it
by all means and the AP's internally generated traffic will be compromised.
   Any comments?

CW,

Please note that the TSPEC-based reservation is only for the HC (QAP)
to schedule
polls to the QSTA. It is not a true reservation in that other devices
in the network are
not aware of this scheduled traffic.

Under HCCA rules, the QAP can start transmitting a PIFS interval after
the channel is free. This allows it to pre-empt all other QSTAs who
have to wait at least a DIFS before they can start their transmission.

So for any downstream traffic, the QAP can transmit it on its own by
pre-empting all the other QSTAs and ensure that it meets the schedule.
It doesn't need to reserve any resources at the QSTA and so doesn't
need to use TSPECs.

Hope this helps.

- Harshal

I got the solution.using network analyzer like
"commviewforwifi" you can find the signal strength
from all the other nodes with out any transferring of
files. this network analyzers captures the packets on
all the channels and report the signal strength it is
perceiveing from all the other nodes.

Sudha,

Most WLAN drivers indicate the signal strength of the
received
packets. You can use the utilities provided by your
WLAN card's vendor
to get this information. Other applications like
netstumbler may also
display this information.

I don't know why you need all the n*(n-1) values, but
if you really
need all those numbers, choose one of the devices as
the transmitter
and start a large file transfer or any long data
transfer. Then
measure the signal strength at all the other (n-1)
nodes. Change the
transmitter to the next node and repeat the
measurement. Doing this
for all the nodes will give you the n*(n-1) values.

Sudha,

Most WLAN drivers indicate the signal strength of the received

to get this information. Other applications like netstumbler may also
display this information.

I don't know why you need all the n*(n-1) values, but if you really
