—In wireless communication systems, the signal strength/quality generally varies with the distances between transmitters and receivers. As a consequence, the throughput in the MA...
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol used within the IEEE 802.11 standard has "major security flaws" thus wireless local area networks (WLANs) using the protocol are ...
New challenging deployment scenarios are accommodating portable devices with limited and heterogeneous capabilities that roam among wireless access localities during service provis...

The convergence of cellular and IP technologies has pushed the integration of 3G and WLAN networks to the forefront. Gaining secure access to 3G services from 802.11 WLANs is a pr...
Several research efforts as well as deployments have chosen IEEE 802.11 as a low-cost, long-distance access technology to bridge the digital divide. In this paper, we consider the...
