Popis: In order to increase the time connected to already deployed 802.11 wireless networks while traveling by subway in Tokyo, we have developed a system equipped with two scanning modes: 1) passively scanning on a selected channel, and 2) scanning with multiple open authentication. Through analysis and experiments, we have shown that our method increases the time connected to 802.11 wireless networks by establishing wireless connection when coming out of non-coverage area in the tunnel and switching its wireless connection across overlapping coverage area at station with less delay.
