Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and system for reduction of electrosmog in wireless local area networks (WLAN), one or more mobile network units communicating with a base station by means of radio frequency signals in a wireless local area network, which base station amplifies the radio frequency signals of the mobile network unit and/or connects the wireless local area network to a wired fixed network by means of bridge functions.
  • WLAN wireless local area networks
  • the invention relates to a method and system in which a WLAN comprises a plurality of access points with differing transmission cells.
  • the human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were irradiated at different average specific absorption rates (SAR) of 1.6 to 8.8 W/kg over a time period of 72 hours in an exposure system based on a parallel plate resonator in a temperature range of 34.5 to 37.5 °C.
  • the average absorption rate (SAR) and its distribution in the exposed tissue culture flask were determined by combining the measurement results with a numerical analysis based on a finite element simulation code.
  • a linear increase in the chromosome No. 17 -- an aneuploidy ( numerical chromosome aberration) - was observed as a function of the SAR, demonstrating that this radiation has a genotoxic effect.
  • the SAR-dependent aneuploidy was accompanied by an abnormal mode of replication of the chromosome 17 region engaged in segregation (repetitive DNA arrays associated with the centromere), suggesting that epigenetic alterations are involved in the SAR dependent genetic toxicity.

  • Local networks usually consist of so- called nodes which are connected via physical media, such as e.g. coaxial cable, twisted pair or optical fiber cable. These LANs are also referred to as wired LANs (wired fixed networks). In the last few years wireless LANs have also become more and more popular (e.g. through developments such as the AirPort System of Apple Computer, Inc.). Wireless LANs -- also referred to as WLANs - are especially suitable for integrating mobile units (nodes), such as e.g. laptops, notebooks, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) or mobile radio devices, in particular mobile radio telephones, with a corresponding interface, into a local computer network.
  • mobile units such as e.g. laptops, notebooks, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) or mobile radio devices, in particular mobile radio telephones, with a corresponding interface, into a local computer network.
  • the mobile nodes have an adaptor comprising a transceiver as well as a control card (such as e.g. infrared (IR) adaptor or a low frequency radio wave adaptor).
  • IR infrared
  • the advantage of such mobile nodes is that they can be moved freely within the range of the wireless LANs.
  • the mobile nodes communicate either directly with one another (peer-to-peer wireless LAN) or send their signal to a base station which amplifies the signal and/or passes it on.
  • the base stations can likewise comprise bridge functions. Via such base stations with bridge functions, so-called access points (AP), the mobile nodes can access the wireless LAN on a wired LAN.
  • Typical network functions of an access point comprise the transmission of messages of one mobile node to another, the sending of messages from the wired LAN to a mobile node and the transmission of messages of a mobile node to the wired LAN.
  • an AP transmits so-called Service Set IDentifier (SSID) when a mobile network unit tries to integrate itself in the wireless network.
  • SSID Service Set IDentifier
  • An SSID is an unambiguous identification, 32 characters long, which is assigned to the header of data messages sent over the network, and serves as a password for the mobile network units. The SSID differs from one WLAN to another.
  • the network units normally communicate via an access point (AP).
  • AP access point
  • mobile network units can either communicate with one another or with network components of a wired network.
  • An AP with bridge functions which is connected to a wired network and one or more other access points, is referred to as the Basic Service Set (BSS).
  • BSS Basic Service Set
  • ESS Extended Service Set
  • WLANs are usually operated in the infrastructure mode in order to provide access to other services, such as e.g. file server, printer services and/or the worldwide backbone network (Internet).
  • other services such as e.g. file server, printer services and/or the worldwide backbone network (Internet).
  • an SSID concerns in each case a Basic Service Set.
  • a mobile unit can only have network access to a BSS if it supports the corresponding SSID.
  • SSIDs are sometimes referred to as network names since the SSIDs unambiguously designate or identify a network.
  • the physical range of an AP is called the Basic Service Area (BSA). If a mobile node is located within the BSA of an AP, it can communicate with this AP if the AP is likewise within the signal range (Dynamic Service Area (DSA)) of the mobile node. Mobile nodes typically have a signal strength of 100 mwatt to one watt. To connect the wireless LAN to the wired LAN, it is important for the AP to determine whether a particular message (information frame) on the network is intended for a node which lies within the wired LAN or within the wireless LAN, and to pass on this information, if necessary, to the corresponding node. For this purpose APs have so-called bridge functions, e.g.
  • a new mobile node is registered in the wireless LAN, typically in a FDB (Filtering Database) of the AP in whose range the node is located.
  • FDB Flexible Database
  • the AP compares the destination address with the addresses (MAC addresses (Media Access Control Addresses)) which it has stored in the FDB, and sends, rejects or passes on the frame to the wired LAN or to the wireless LAN.
  • MAC addresses Media Access Control Addresses
  • the range of a wireless LAN is limited by factors such as e.g. wavelength of the signal, signal strength, impediments, etc. The radio frequency parameters cannot be selected freely, however.
  • WLANs in the state of the art moreover send base stations, such as access points, so-called beacon signals periodically so that mobile units can recognize the network and authenticate themselves with an access point.
  • beacon signals comprise recognition signals, such as e.g. SSIDs and/or other radio frequency signals with control parameters. Even if no mobile units are located in the WLAN, the beacon signals continue to be transmitted periodically to the APs.
  • a solution should be proposed which can be managed without any disruptive software and/or hardware adaptations and is thus easily achievable for existing WLAN technologies.
  • one or more mobile network units communicate with a base station in a wireless local network by means of radio frequency signals, which base station amplifies the radio frequency signals of the mobile network unit and/or connects the wireless local area network to a wired fixed network by means of bridge functions, the base station changes over from the normal transmitting-receiving mode into a sleep mode after a predefinable time interval without connecting signal to a mobile network unit, in the sleep mode no recognition signals and/or other radio frequency signals being transmitted from the base station, the base station being ready to receive radio frequency signals, however, when needing a network connection, a mobile network unit transmits an alert signal to the base station, and upon receiving the alert signal of the mobile network unit, the base station transmits to the mobile network unit the recognition signals necessary for the connection and changes over into the normal transmitting and receiving mode.
  • WLANs wireless local area networks
  • the invention as described above has the advantage that electrosmog in WLANs can be greatly reduced during times when there is no network activity. At the same time energy consumption is also reduced since in sleep mode no beacon signals or other radio frequency signals are transmitted from the base stations.
  • the whole method and system is achievable in particular without any hardware changes of any kind in the mobile network unit being necessary on the user side, nor on the side of the base stations, and it is therefore simpler and less expensive to achieve compared with other solutions. This means that not only are the costs for new hardware saved, but also the costs for installing it. It must also be pointed out that in mobile network units weight and space considerations often play a role too.
  • the present invention requires neither additional hardware space, nor does it result in increased weight of the mobile terminal (network unit).
  • WLANs for example, it also further increases security, making it more difficult for the WLAN to be used by unauthorized persons e.g. outside of business hours since no periodic beacon signal is sent anymore by the base station or base stations if they are in sleep mode.
  • the mobile network unit when in need of a network connection, transmits an alert signal only if it does not receive any recognition signal from a base station.
  • This embodiment variant has the advantage, among other things, that no unnecessary alert signal has to be transmitted if the base station is already in normal transmitting-receiving mode. This likewise results in a further reduction of electrosmog and at the same time energy saving in the mobile network units.
  • the base station in whose basic service area (BSA) the mobile network unit is located changes over into the normal transmitting and receiving mode, the other base stations of the wireless local network remaining in their previous operating mode.
  • BSA basic service area
  • This embodiment variant has the advantage, among other things, that the electrosmog can be further reduced since for mobile units which are at times stationary, such as e.g. when working with a laptop at one's place of employment, only the needed base station goes back into the normal transmitting-receiving mode.
  • the base stations of the basic service areas (BSAs) bordering on the basic service area (BSA) of the base station in whose BSA the mobile network unit is located likewise change over automatically into the normal transmitting-receiving mode if they were previously in the sleep mode.

  • the base station of the wireless local network changes over from sleep mode into the normal transmitting-receiving mode only if a network-specific recognition signal of the alert signal corresponds to a stored recognition signal of the wireless local network.
  • This embodiment has the advantage, among other things, that the user as well as the service provider of the WLAN is given additional security. Through the additional authentication by means of a network-specific recognition signal, an unauthorized person, such as someone outside the company in the case of company WLANs, cannot even activate the normal transmitting and receiving mode of the WLAN or respectively of the base station.
  • At least parts of the network-specific recognition signal are definable for the wireless local network by a user of the mobile unit and/or by an operator.
  • This embodiment variant has, among other things, the same advantages as the preceding embodiment variant.
  • the security can be further increased however through the addition of supplementary information data determinable by the user or operator.
  • these data can even be supplementary information data freely chosen by the user, whereby, as a borderline case, the supplementary information data could even be empty.
  • an unambiguous identification code of the user can be used as the supplementary information data.

  • IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identification
  • MSISDN Mobile Subscriber ISDN
  • SIM Subscriber Identification Module
  • the alert signal is transmitted from the mobile unit in a network-independent way for each wireless local network.
  • This embodiment variant has the advantage, among other things, that any mobile network unit can activate possibly available WLANs in a standard way, independently of a specific recognition signal, or at least can receive a beacon signal or similar signal of the network.
