Abstract:
This paper describes how to use medium access control(MAC)isolation to enhance management performance in public wireless LAN(PWLAN). To comply with the IEEE 802. 11 standards, a scheme to implement MAC isolation in WLAN access points by re-designing the Distribution-Service component of the MAC state machine is proposed. A variable named dot11Isolation is defined to determine whether the MAC level communication between wireless stations in the same BSS is permitted or not. Finally, a design solution based on MPC860 hardware and embedded Linux software for PWLAN access point is specified. The simulation results of MAC isolation for PWLAN show that the proposed scheme is feasible and effective.
