A BYOD solution should automate the device onboarding process for employees
and guests, as well as the administration and enforcement of policies, by gathering information about the context of the device, user and connection. BYOD also requires real-time visibility and reporting to quickly measure, enforce, and meet compliance mandates.
Cisco ITP MAP Gateway for Public WLAN SIM Authentication and Authorization

January 2008-
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) operators are recognizing the need for high-speed wireless data services. Cisco Systems has embarked on an effort to enable authentication of WLAN subscribers using the existing and well-proven GSM-based user authentication and existing GSM provisioning facilities. Cisco ITP MAP Gateway function enables existing GSM service providers to fully integrate 802.11 technology into their existing GSM network using subscriber-identity-mobile (SIM) cards. Cisco ITP MAP Gateway function enables a WLAN authentication based ...
Diversity Reception for OFDM Systems Using Antenna Arrays

January 2008-
Antenna arrays are a powerful means to exploit the spatial domain to provide an extra layer of co-channel interference cancellation and new ways of handling unwanted channel effects for more efficient utilization of spectrum and space at any time. This provides space diversity in multi path channels, making it possible to realize high transmission rates envisioned for the next generation wireless communications. In this paper, a diversity reception algorithm is proposed for Post-FFT OFDM systems ...

January 2008-
This paper from Hewlett-Packard provides information to help identify and troubleshoot common problems in a wireless LAN in which there is at least one Access Point (AP) connected to a wired LAN and one or more wireless stations. ProCurve wireless access points operate best when loaded with the most current version of software. Upgrade to the latest version of software early within the troubleshooting process.
WEP Cloaking - Maximizing ROI From Legacy Wireless LAN
[ Source: AirDefense ]
January 2008-
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the encryption protocol defined in the original IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Several known vulnerabilities and attack tools have compromised WEP making it unsuitable for secure WLAN implementations, without additional layers of security. AirDefense’s patented WEP Cloaking solution is designed to make WEP virtually invulnerable to known attacks and tools, providing a robust layer of protection for legacy WLANs. The solution does not require any hardware ...

The 5000-5250 megahertz (MHz) frequency band is allocated to the Aeronautical RadioNavigation Service (ARNS) on an international basis. The 5030-5091 MHz portion is in use for Microwave Landing System (MLS) applications. The aviation community is exploring other applications in the 5091-5150 MHz band, referred to as C-band in this report, to support aeronautical applications. This paper documents a preliminary investigation on the applicability of the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and cellular network technologies, for ...
Space-Time-Frequency Transmit Diversity in Broadband Wireless OFDM Systems
[ Source: DoCoMo Euro-Labs ]
January 2008-
This paper published by DoCoMo Euro-Labs considers space-time - frequency transmits diversity with orthogonal designs in a broadband OFDM system. On capacity considerations for Gaussian as well as real world signal constellations, it show that the concatenation of an outer error control code, a bit interleaver and orthogonal spatial transmit diversity provides an attractive MIMO scheme which is robust to channel imperfections such as spatial correlation. It proposes an application of orthogonal designs for space-time-frequency ...
TCP Fairness for Uplink and Downlink Flows in WLANs
[ Source: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ]
January 2008-
In WLANs, fairness is an important issue because the channel is shared by many users. This paper from Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers proposes a dual queue based scheme in an Access Point (AP) for TCP fairness among uplink flows and downlink flows. First, the company discusses the unfairness problem of TCP flows due to different responses to data packet drop and TCP ACK packet drop at the AP. The proposed scheme employs two ...
Technical Overview of Nokia IP VPN

January 2008-
Firewalls and VPNs have melded into single-product solutions available from many vendors. However, enterprise-class VPN deployments require more than an IPSec stack rigged to the side of a firewall. Nokia IP VPN products are VPN devices first, and provide capabilities that are not found in devices that are firewalls first and VPN devices second. By combining high availability and scalability through clustering with dedicated high performance hardware, Nokia enables the enterprise network manager to build ...
