Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the current mechanism for IP address configuration in the wireless networks especially 802.11 WLAN and describes its unreasonable time delay and proposes a new mechanism of address configuration which obtains an IP address more quickly. The proposed mechanism provides a reduced message exchange for address configuration in the WLAN over the current 4-way message exchange using DHCP. Performance evaluation and comparison have shown that the proposed mechanism is faster in terms of delay than the existing mechanism including reduced packet loss and stable message exchange when in motion.
