Multi-hop 802.11 wireless networks

Speaker

Arup Acharya
IBM Research

 
In this talk, I will discuss the challenges associated with creating a high performance datapath consisting of multiple wLAN hops. Current data rates supported within a single   wLAN  cell  range upto 108 Mbps.   In this talk, I will first provide an overview of the 802.11 wireless LAN protocols followed by a discussion of multi-hop wireless networks. The next part  of the talk will consist of  work-in-progress on increasing data  throughput : (a) an architecture for  efficiently forwarding packets between successive hops in such multi-hop networks and (b)  extending the 802.11 RTS/CTS MAC  to enable   neighboring transmitters (receivers) to operate simultaneously under certain conditions.
