University of Perugia 06125 Perugia Italy Received 7 November 2006 Revised 2 February 2007 Accepted 8 March 2007 Recommended by Lin Cai In an expected future multiaccess and multiservice IEEE environment the problem of providing users with useful service-related information to support a correct rapid network selection is expected to become a very important issue. A feasible shortterm working solution compliant with existing equipment is to publish service information encoded within the SSID information element within beacon frames. This makes it possible for an operator to implement service publishing in networks while waiting for a standardized mechanism. Also this straightforward approach has allowed us to evaluate experimentally the performance of a beacon-based service publishing solution. In fact the main focus of the paper is indeed to present a quantitative comparison of service discovery times between the legacy scenario where the user is forced to associate and authenticate with a network point of access to check its service offer and the enhanced scenario where the set of service-related information is broadcasted within beacons. These discovery times are obtained by processing the results of a measurement campaign performed in a multiaccess service environment. This analysis confirms the effectiveness of the beacon-based approach. We also show that the cost in terms of wireless bandwidth consumption of such solution is low.
