Implementation Options of the Distribution System in the 802.11 Wireless LAN Infrastructure Network
نویسنده
چکیده
The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard specifies which messages shall be exchanged between an access point and a station to support mobility. However, the implementation of mobility in the wired part of the network, i.e. the distribution system or inter-access point protocol, is not specified. This paper presents and evaluates different options for the implementation of the distribution system used to forward messages between stations in a wireless LAN infrastructure network. The usage of stations in ad hoc mode as bridges or gateways towards a wired LAN is also discussed.

Design of a High-Capacity Multihop Wireless LAN
The IEEE 802.11-based wireless LAN is currently a primary enabling technology for ubiquitous data access to data networks with a reasonably high bandwidth. Traditionally, 802.11-based wirelesses LANs are deployed in the infrastructure mode. Here, access points (AP) are deployed to cover a region and they are connected to a backbone distribution system (DS). A client device, such as a laptop or ...
متن کاملA Hidden Node Aware Network Allocation Vector Management System for Multi-hop Wireless Ad hoc Networks
Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. The architecture of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN is designed to support a network where most decision making is distributed to the mobile striation. The first, IEEE Standard 802.11a, is an orthogonal frequency domain mul...
