* - Respected DHCP lease time Note what we measure Say “scan in a tight loop” * DHCP is slow ( 1 minute by default ) Edge effect 4-way handshake Simple IP Caching Fast Unreliable ~20% hit rate Possible solution: IP subclass Randomized selection WirlessDHCP? * * Median: 13 seconds Note that distribution is not uniform * We don’t know where the APs are located… * Note that mean (150) is consistent with previous work * Cells are small = need a lot of them = how often do we encounter them? Explain join attempts: every time scanping discovers a new access point Some join attempt fail for various reasons and some succeed. Point out that averages are more important for this data. * * * A Measurement Study of Vehicular Internet Access Using In Situ Wi-Fi Networks Vladimir Bychkovsky, Bret Hull, Allen Miu, Hari Balakrishnan, and Samuel Madden MIT CSAIL Wi-Fi Is Everywhere Images from WiGLE.net and CarTel What are the performance propertiesof organically grown Wi-Fi networks? The Opportunity Today: Broadband connections are often idle 65% of on-line households have Wi-Fi What if … … home users open up their APs … … and share/sell the spare bandwidth? Cellular alternative for mobile users: Messaging (multimedia, e-mail, text) Location-aware services Mobile sensor networks (e.g. MIT project CarTel ) Challenges Legal, economic, security, policy issues Performance Wi-Fi For Mobile Messaging: Will it work? Wi-Fi cells are smaller than cellular cells Is density sufficient? Are connections too short? Organically grown, unplanned deployments Uneven densities, AP churn, unpredictable Back-of-the-envelope: 55 km/hour: ~15 meters/s ~150 meter AP coverage [Akella’05] ~10 sec connectivity What about connection overhead? scan, associate, get IP, etc. Current stacks too slow How long does it take your laptop to get an IP here?
