Abstract

This paper presents a new wireless bridging and routing method for ad-hoc networks comprised of wireless bridges and/or wireless routers that comply with IEEE 802.11, a global standard for wireless LAN systems. This wireless bridging and routing method uses a novel frame transfer protocol with shortcut (FRASH) that we developed; that users can establish flexible and high speed ad-hoc wireless LANs easily at their offices and houses. This paper clarifies that the proposed bridging and routing method achieves higher throughput and less forwarding delay than the conventional transparent bridging protocol (TBP) by computer simulations, theoretical analysis, and experiments using a prototype wireless bridge and router device (WBR).
