  1. Neighborcast: Enabling communication among nearby clients Communication among nearby nodes Neighborcast AP1 AP2 LAN/Internet o Two clients are nearby if they hear a common AP o Nearby nodes can be on different frequency channels C2 hears AP1 00:0B:80:12:34:56 00:0C:80:12:34:57 00:0A:80:12:34:55 C1 C2 Info C1 and C2 are neighbors Multicast group for BSSID 00:0B:80:12:24:56 • Existing group communication schemes won’t work: • o 802.11 broadcast only within WLAN • o IP broadcast spans entire subnet. No locality • o 802.11 multicast only within WLAN • o IP multicast has no locality. Requires neighbor discovery! o Mapping from AP BSSID to Multicast group address o Client joins group of every AP around it o Client sends info on group of associated AP Applications Approaches Using IP Multicast Improved AP selection LAN Map APs BSSID into IP multicast address 228.xx.xx.xx where xx:xx:xx is the last 3 bytes of BSSID LAN/Internet 00:17:95:81:CA:30 Pros o No infrastructure support o Scalable: All traffic is local Cons o Limited IP multicast deployment AP1 AP2 Decides to switch to AP2 IP Multicast group - 228.129.202.48 RSSI, Load, Performance RSSI, Load, Performance Using Application Level Multicast LAN/Internet Pros o Works across subnets o Scalable: Traffic is mostly local Cons o Need for rendezvous server o Message overhead Multicast group of AP2 Multicast group of AP1 ALM Rendezvous server Buddies Near Me 00:17:95:81:CA:30 Unicast o Neighbor discovery o Estimate “Nearness” Using RSS Feeds http://webserver/00179581CA30.xml Web server hosting RSS Pros o Works over internet o Easily deployable Cons o Less scalable as traffic goes through server Location Sensitive Ads 00:17:95:81:CA:30 Ranveer Chandra, Jitu Padhye, Lenin Ravindranath
