The design and implementation of a directory based wireless network operation management system

Abstract

The goal of this research is to implement a hierarchical wireless network operation management system based on LDAP technology. The architecture of such a management system is particularly beneficial in reducing the cost of ownership for any information system built to enable device management service and AAA service - the two major services required by WISPs. Two subsystems have been successfully implemented in the proposed wireless network operation management system: device management center and aaa service center. The results of this research can enhance WISPs' competitiveness significantly in today's demanding wireless market
