P2P-Based Roaming Between Home WLAN Hotspots

Overview The increased amount of broadband Internet connections at home, combined with the low cost of WLAN access points and other WLAN hardware, has made it possible for individual end-users to contribute to the wireless landscape by allowing open access to their WLAN access points. Consumers' WLAN access points and emerging handsets equipped with WLAN capability provide an opportunity for P2P-type of wireless coverage. Current metropolitan areas are already to some extent covered by consumer home WLAN networks and can ideally form one big network which then can be used freely by members of a community. This paper concentrates on describing the current situation in P2P-based roaming between home WLAN hotspots, what are its pros and cons, and why it is being done.
