Extension of Basic Service Set by Multihop Routing in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a multihop routing extension to IEEE 802.11 is presented. Multihop extension preserves the traditional single-hop networks where the service infrastructure is constructed by many access points but it also adds the flexibility of ad hoc networks where wireless transfer through mobile stations is allowed in multiple hop. Multihop extension can reduce the number of required access points and improve the throughput performance. Protocol presented is in compatible with the DCF and PCF medium access methods of IEEE 802.11 standard.

As the popularity of IEEE 802.11-based Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) grows, end users of these environments demand better performance and quality of service (QoS). However, the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of the IEEE 802.11 standard was not initially designed to provide either multihop or QoS capabilities. Therefore, the performance of IEEE 802.11-based WMNs is not optimal. One approach t...
متن کاملDoes the IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol Work Well in Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks?
The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is the standard for wireless LANs; it is widely used in testbeds and simulations for wireless multihop ad hoc networks. However, this protocol was not designed for multihop networks. Although it can support some ad hoc network architecture, it is not intended to support the wireless mobile ad hoc network, in which multihop connectivity is one of the most prominent f...
