WLC-Based Alert System for Excessive Data Usage in Household Networks

 

Abstract

This paper explores the implementation of a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) system to monitor and manage data usage in household networks. The proposed system aims to raise alerts for excessive data consumption and convert usage patterns according to subscription-based data consumption models. We discuss the design, benefits, and challenges of such a system, as well as its potential impact on household internet management and service provider operations.

Introduction

As internet usage continues to grow, households face challenges in managing their data consumption within subscription limits. This paper proposes a solution using Wireless LAN Controllers to monitor and control data usage in home networks.

WLC-Based Data Monitoring System

System Architecture

The proposed system uses a WLC to oversee all connected devices in a household network. It tracks data usage in real-time and compares it to the subscription plan limits.

Alert Mechanism

When data usage approaches or exceeds predefined thresholds, the system sends alerts to users through various channels such as email, SMS, or in-app notifications.

Data Consumption Model Conversion

The system can adjust data usage tracking based on different subscription models, such as unlimited plans with speed throttling or tiered data caps.

Benefits and Applications

  1. Better user awareness of data consumption

  2. Reduced risk of unexpected overage charges

  3. Improved household budgeting for internet services

  4. Enhanced service provider customer satisfaction

Comparison with Existing Solutions

Current methods often rely on manual checking of usage or basic router-level monitoring. The WLC-based system offers more detailed, real-time tracking and automated alerts.

Challenges and Limitations

  1. Initial setup complexity for average users

  2. Potential privacy concerns with detailed usage monitoring

  3. Compatibility issues with various network devices and configurations

Conclusion

The WLC-based alert system for data usage monitoring offers a promising solution for households to manage their internet consumption more effectively. Future research could focus on improving user interface design and addressing privacy concerns.

Garbage Collection Monitoring Using QR Code-Based Mobile Application Tracing the Garbage Collection Vehicles

  Abstract This paper presents a system for monitoring garbage collection using a mobile application that tracks garbage collection vehicles through QR codes. The system aims to improve waste management efficiency by providing real-time information on vehicle locations and collection routes. We describe the design and implementation of the mobile application, QR code generation and scanning, and the backend system for data processing and analysis. Results show that the system can effectively track garbage collection vehicles and provide useful insights for optimizing collection routes and schedules. Introduction Efficient garbage collection is crucial for maintaining clean and healthy urban environments. However, many cities struggle with inefficient waste management systems due to poor tracking and monitoring of collection vehicles. This paper proposes a solution using QR codes and a mobile application to track and monitor garbage collection vehicles in real-time. Methodology The ...

Exam are for evaluation don't create coagulation in the system

Education is a common term which should reach every students in the nation. If there are opportunities for pursuing medical on interest of individuals, then public organization should support for the common individuals. When state decides a formulation for evaluating the interests of medical aspirant why and what is the need of another exam required to mandate for medical aspirants. When the education system has to equalize the opportunities for medical aspirants, then a system has to take initiative to match  the performance of individuals from various state and frame a eligibility for medical admits. Mandating an exam not only for medical entries, even for other discipline admits is not contributing to the efforts and work of framing syllabus and evaluation of state government. Even though,  the public have the reason for encouraging NEET examination for common medical aspirant students, they can't mandate an exam for medical admits.  This creates mess and confusion a...
