Definitions
- the present invention is related to a local area network (LAN) and more particularly, to a LAN with connected wireless devices.
- LAN local area network
- Ethernet local area network
- IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
- 802.1 lb is an Ethernet local area network (LAN) variant.
- Ethernet technology has shown an amazing ability to adapt to new requirements, evolving from a simple 10 Mbps bus to gigabit full-duplex switched networks and to wireless LANs. Ethernet is well understood and there is a wealth of experience with cost reduction and integration of Ethernet devices.
- Some current Ethernet interface cards (lOBaseT) retail at less than $10.
- 802.1 lb wireless LAN (WLAN) card technology is subject to the same economy of scale and prices have fallen to less than 30% of their relatively recent original prices. Given its track record, Ethernet is a low-risk, extensible technology suited, for example, to address challenges in wide-area mobility.
- WLAN technology has been characterized as a disruptive technology.
- WLAN technology may change paradigms and lead to unexpected and unpredictable market developments.
- Past examples of disruptive technologies are the telephone, the personal computer (PC) and the Internet.
- PC personal computer
- speed, range and security There are three major limitations on WLAN technology: speed, range and security.
- the 802.11b standard supports speeds of up to HMbs.
- 802.11a and 802.1 lg are promising to deliver much higher speeds.
- range is limited, typically, to about fifty meters (50m) outdoors, tests have demonstrated a range capability of up to 20 miles using directional antennas. Work is continuing to expand the coverage of the wireless base stations.
- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for wireless networks has proven far less secure than was intended.
- WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy
- VLAN virtual LAN
- 802.1Q permits the definition, operation and administration of VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure, such that LANs of all types may be connected together by Media Access Control (MAC) bridges.
- MAC Media Access Control
- Ethernet LAN variants have been relatively rigidly architected. Once attached or connected, a device could communicate freely with other attached devices. If after sending a request, however, the connection is lost prior to receiving a response, the response was lost. Once reconnected, whether to the same or a different port and, even prior to arrival of the response, the response was lost and the request had to be sent anew. This is still the case for state of the art VLANs and even for devices wirelessly connected to such a VLAN. So, if a wireless device that is connected to a VLAN through an access point leaves the access point's reception area, the wireless device must re-establish communications. It must reestablish communications even if it never leaves the overall LAN reception area, i.e., the area covered by all connected access points, and even if it remains in the reception area of another connected access point.
- the virtual network switch uses the association table to manage free-form client traffic between mobile stations at access VLANs at connected Ethernet aggregation switches and appropriate core VLANs.
- the vehicle including the network, may be a train with access points located trackside connecting train passengers to a public network, e.g., the Internet. Wireless devices on the train may also connect to an on-board such network.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a preferred embodiment network 100 with wireless access capability, i.e., a free-form virtual local area network (FLAN) 100 wherein clients at mobile stations, once connected, roam freely within the wireless coverage area and are seamlessly swapped from one access point to another access point as they roam.
- Mobile stations (MS) 102, 104 which may be wireless client devices are connected by wireless data links to one of numerous access points (APs) 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116.
- APs access points
- Examples of such mobile stations 102, 104 or wireless client devices may include what is known as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a cellular phone (in particular an Internet capable cellular phone), a notebook computer/wireless tablet, a desktop computer or, a vehicle such as a train with an on- board network that has wireless communications capability as further described hereinbelow.
- PDA personal digital assistant
- Each AP 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116 is connected to an Ethernet aggregation switch 118.
- Each aggregation switch 118 aggregates all client traffic from connected APs 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, passing it upstream to a preferred free-form virtual network switch or FLAN switch 120.
- a preferred embodiment network may include more than one layer of aggregation switches 118 and/or FLAN switches 120.
- aggregation switches 118 are configured to statically map each of the access ports to a different VLAN on its trunk port.
- each aggregation switch 118 may share VLANs among multiple APs 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, each one connected to a different port. VLAN sharing may be appropriate to minimize the number of VLAN IDs used. However, since there are more available VLAN IDs (4094) than ports on any one aggregation switch 118, normally, the FLAN switch 120 can reuse VLAN IDs on different aggregation switches 118 making sharing VLAN IDs unnecessary.
- each access point 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116 is such that the coverage area for each particular access point overlaps other adjacent access points providing uninterrupted service for the intended coverage area.
- a mobile station 102, 104 connected to the network through one of the access points 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116 can pass between access point reception areas and remain in constant communication with the rest of FLAN 100.
- the FLAN switch 120 seamlessly receives data passed from connected mobile stations 102, 104, from the particular access point 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, wirelessly receiving the data, from the aggregation switch 118 and, forwards received data to a desired destination over the Internet 126.
- step 152 the port association table is checked to determine if the access port/VLAN has changed.
- the access port/VLAN may change when the mobile station (e.g., 102) roams between AP reception areas, e.g., from first wireless access point 110 in Figure 1 to another wireless access point 116. If the access port/VLAN is unchanged, then, continuing to step 148 the package is updated with the appropriate NLAN tag and in step 150 switched to the appropriate identified core port. Otherwise, if the access port/VLAN is changed in step 152; then, in step 154 the port association table is updated and in step 148 the VLAN tag is changed. Then, in step 150 the packet is switched to the appropriate identified core port.
- the packet is assigned to a VLAN based on the mobile station's physical location in the network, i.e., the port for its connected Access Point 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116.
- a packet traveling to a mobile station on the core side of the FLAN switch 120 is assigned to a VLAN based on the mobile station's logical location in the network, or, equivalently, the mobile station's IP subnet.
- Figure 4 shows an example of how a preferred FLAN switch 120, preprogrammed with default relationships, relates VLANs 194, 196, 198, 202, 204,
- DHCP server to control VLAN assignment on the core side of the FLAN switch.
- wireless client devices 256, 258 are connected to an FLAN on the train and core FLAN APs are at the trackside.
- Local APs 236, 238, 240, 242, 244 on the train are hidden behind the mobile station or
- the FLAN is a simple and easy to manage network where existing client devices can "turn on and go" moving freely amongst AP reception areas without loading additional software or otherwise configuring the client device.
- a preferred embodiment FLAN may use standard, off-the-shelf equipment and, where customization is necessary, such customization may be confined to a single place in the network, the FLAN switch.
- authorization and accounting (AAA) as well as other wireless security features may be included just as with any other state of the art network.
