1.Introduction
802.11 vs. 3G(roughly)
Data Cover Areas
Rate
802.
11b
11M
~54M
bps
3G
64kbps Wider area of
~2Mbps coverage that enables
ubiquitous
connectivity
Small areas, suitable
for hot-spot
application in hotels
and airports.(1km^2)
1.1 Why is it the challenging
task to integrate them?
• Environment
enterprise and home networks VS. global areas
• Capability
1.WLAN lack AAA and billing mechanisms
2.CDMA2000 or UMTS and their extension to 802.11
• QOS
• POLICY
1.2Research Contributions
2. Service Scenario in integrated
802.11 and 3G networks: problem
statement
• Issues on John’s case:
1.Security association
2.Switching occurs when John is on sessions.
3.User profile obtained (AAA server)
4.Revenue sharing
3.Two architecture for 802.11
and 3G integration
• A. Tightly-coupled Interworking -The rationale:802.11 as another 3G access
network.
• B. Loosely-coupled Interworking –
It completely separates the data paths in 802.11
and 3G networks
A. Tightly-coupled Interworking
Disadvantages of tightly-coupled
Interworking
• 1.Traffic engineering
-Operator must own both the 802.11 and 3G
parts of the network.
-setup of the entire network should be remodified
because traffic load increased 25~100 times .
• 2.The configuration of the client
devices
-built-in USIM,R-UIM slots or external cards must
bi plugged separately in to the subscriber
devices .
B. Loosely-coupled Interworking
Advantages to the looselycoupled integration
• 1.Independent deployment and traffic
engineering of 802.11 and 3G
• 2.Roaming agreements with many
partners can result in widespread
coverage.
• 3.No longer establish separate accounts
• 4.Allows WISP to provide its own hot-spot
4.The IOTA 802.11 Gateway
• 1. Integration of two access technologies
(IOTA)
• 2. Allows the mobile node to access the
network.
• 3. IOTA integrates RADIUS server,
Mobile-IP, dynamic firewall, QOS
module and accounting module.
• 4. IOTA building blocks are implemented
as software modules ,and run on Linux.
• A.RADIUS server
-It enables roaming agreements between 3G and 802.11
-provides authentication services to the 802.11 cloud.
• B. Mobile-IP agent
-supports the roles of both home and foreign agents (HA,FA)
• C. Dynamic firewall
-implemented using the Linux IP filter architecture.
Obtained from the subscriber’s home AAA.
D.QOS module
-750Kbps for Gold.
-250Kbps for Silver .
-125 Kbps for Bronze.
E. Accounting module
-share revenue
F. Integrated web cache
• G. Simple-IP operation
-offers integrated authentication and billing.
-Does not support seamless mobility, and requires manual
user intervention to switch network access.
• H. Integration with UMTS
-The current UMTS standards do not include support for
the I ET F AAA and Mobile –IP protocol
-It is expected that the definition of usage for AAA and
Mobile-IP within UMTS will soon become standardized.
5.IOTA client software
• Support mobility across several kinds of
physical interfaces.
• Seamless:
-A user doesn’t see any changes in his connections.
• Selection of interface to use dependent on
user preference:
• The GUI allows the user to configure, monitor,
and control the state of the client.
A. Interface Selection Algorithm
• A novel interface-selection algorithm
that uses the current signal strength and
the priority of the interfaces to select the
active interface.
• Goal—introduce a hysteresis effect and
let the client stay with the current
interface to prevent data loss.
• 6. Experimental result
• A. Performance of Mobile-IP agents
• First-registration delay= AAA authentication + setting up
packet filter+ creating tunnels
• Re-registration delay= AAA authentication
• Switching-registration delay=AAA authentication + creating
tunnels
B. Performance of QOS
mechanisms (two scenarios)
• The first scenario illustrates
restricting per-user traffic to 3.5Mbps
The second scenario :class-based with
Gold ,Silver and Bronze.
7.Conclusion
• 1.Two architectural choices for the
integration: tightly & loosely
• 2.Described in detail our realization of the
loosely-coupled architecture in the form of
the IOTA gateway
• 3.Described client software .
• 4.Sample experimental results .
