A Protocol for Selecting the Strongest and Authentic Hotspot in any Wireless Infrastructure

Abstract

The legacy of wireless communication lacks of unified interlink among the wireless connection, mobile cellular linkages and wireless hotspots. Nevertheless, the existing literature does not suggest any hotspot selection protocol which selects hotspot based on signal strength, detects the fake hotspots and checks their authenticity. Therefore, we have proposed a hotspot selection protocol, which can select the strongest as well as the authentic hotspot before establishing any connection. The proposed scheme relies on the intelligent user hot-spot allocation to act as cells within a super-cell. A user moving into a cell has the option to either connect directly with the Base Station (BS) or base Access Point (AP) as a hotspot or to another hotspot (master) within existing cell as a slave device after checking the authenticity of the network to be connected. The proposed protocol works with the intelligent user hot-spot allocation to act as cells within a super-cell which improves QoE demands and fairness metrics. Experimental results show that how our proposed technique is efficient to make such decision during hotspots selection.
