“…Wireless LAN easy to install compare to cable LAN, wireless provides high data rate and easy connectivity [1]. Wireless network used in airports, universities and corporate free access services for every user just connect and access the services with high-speed network [2]. There are different standards and protocols given by IEEE for wireless network comparison between the standards are given in Table I [3].…”

Abstract-Pakistan now a days is facing acute problem of terrorism from inside and outside of boarders and to encounter that specially America use drone attacks on Waziristan and other tribal areas of Pakistan for targeting terrorists and militants. Unfortunately due to inaccurate information about specific location of the banned outfits, majority of innocent people is always killed due to these drone attacks.

“…Several studies have been performed on university campus wireless network traces [1,11,15,27]. Researchers in Stanford University [27] studied a 12-week trace of their local-area wireless network in Computer Science Department building with attempt to find out the peak throughput rates and the cause of the peaks.…”

“…Authors in the paper [1,2] paid more attention on user behavior in the wireless network, but these behavior studies served as parameters for network performance optimization. For example, authors in [1] pointed out the load of each access point was determined mostly by individual user behaviors.…”

Abstract. Conventional network security solutions are performed on networklayer packets using statistical measures. These types of traffic analysis may not catch stealthy attacks carried out by today's malware. We aim to develop a host-based security tool that identifies suspicious outbound network connections through analyzing the user's surfing activities. Specifically, our solution for Web applications predicts user's network connections by analyzing Web content; unpredicted traffic is further investigated with the user's help. We describe our method and implementation as well as the experimental results in evaluating its efficiency and effectiveness. We describe how our studies can be applied to detecting bot infection. In order to assess the workload of our host-based traffic-analysis tool, we also perform a large-scale characterization study on 500 university-users' wireless network traces for 4-month period. We study both the statistical and temporal patterns of individuals' web usage behaviors from collected wireless network traces. Users are classified into different profiles based on their web usage patterns. Our results show that users have regularities in their Web activities and the expected workload of our traffic-analysis solution is low.

“…Previous analyses of public wireless networks in both academic and corporate environments [13,14], for example, have shown that users are often passive and network traffic is bursty. In these studies, wireless sessions were usually short-lived and the long-term connections that did exist were idle much of the time.…”

Routing Transient Traffic in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Recent research shows that the traffic in public wireless networks is mostly transient and bursty. There is good reason to believe that ad-hoc traffic will follow the same pattern as its popularity grows. Unfortunately transient traffic generates route discoveries much more frequently than the well-studied long-term, constant-bit-rate traffic, causing network congestion problems for existing routing protocols. This paper describes the design of a new routing algorithm, called ECBR, that uses hybrid backbone routing in a manner that is well suited to workloads that include transient traffic. Our simulation results show that ECBR outperforms one of the main reactive algorithms (i.e., DSR). We also explain three key features of our algorithm and demonstrate their roles in substantially improving the performance compared to existing backbone routing techniques.
