WLAN Roaming with Wireless Controller, and RADIUS Authentication

Mohit Bajpai

Abstract: With the increasing adoption of wireless local area networks and the growing demand for seamless mobility, the need for efficient roaming mechanisms has become paramount. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to optimizing WLAN roaming using Mobile IP, Home Agent, Foreign Agent, Wireless Controller, and RADIUS Authentication. The proposed framework addresses the challenges of secure user authentication, seamless handoffs, and integrated billing support across heterogeneous wireless networks. The Wireless Controller plays a crucial role in facilitating WLAN roaming by managing the registration and mobility of mobile nodes, as well as coordinating with the Home Agent and Foreign Agent to ensure uninterrupted connectivity during handoffs.
