With wireless technologies becoming prevalent at the last hop, today's network operators
need to manage WiFi access networks in unison with their wired counterparts. However, the …

In this letter, the development and testing of an open enterprise Wi-Fi solution based on
virtual access points (APs), managed by a central WLAN controller is presented. It allows …

So far, the handoff management involved in the wireless local area network (WLAN) has
mainly fallen into the handoff mechanism and the decision algorithm. The traditional handoff …

An important aspect of managing multi access point (AP) IEEE 802.11 networks is the
support for mobility management by controlling the handover process. Most handover …

Enterprise IEEE 802.11 networks need to provide high network performance to operate a
large number of diverse clients like laptops, smartphones and tablets as well as capacity …

In traditional 802.11 networks stations usually try to associate to the AP with the highest
signal strength. However, especially in case of very dense deployments, this may lead to …

This paper presents a novel software-defined wireless network architecture that integrates
coordination mechanisms to enhance the capabilities of a set of central managed Wi-Fi …

The massive influx of mobile devices and their increasing use in recent years have resulted
in the overprovision of access points (APs) in networks. Unlike in residential environments …

With the increasing demand for mobile Internet access, WLAN virtualization is becoming a
promising solution for sharing wireless infrastructure among multiple service providers …

Although 4G and 5G Radio Access Technologies (RATs) aim to usher in faster connectivity
that is able to cope with mobile traffic demands, this capability is sometimes hindered by …
