The Case for Peer-to-Peer Wireless LAN Consortia
Overview This paper presents the case for Consortia of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). A P2P WLAN Consortium (PWC) is a community of WLAN Administrative Domains (ADs) that offer network access to each other's registered users. Existing WLAN roaming schemes utilize central authorities or bilateral contracts to control access to resources. In contrast, a PWC forms a P2P community in which participating ADs are autonomous entities. ADs make independent decisions concerning the amount of resources (e.g. access bandwidth) they contribute. This paper also discusses a number of technologies and issues related to the implementation of PWC such as rule design, security and differentiated QoS in such a distributed environment.
