He proposes a framework within which mobile computers can roam freely from location to location without regard to the Internet addressability of the existing wired networks in a building. This is done by addressing the mobile computers via a new logical network which has no direct relationship with any other existing network. The operation of this logical network follows as closely as possible the operation of existing wired networks and is viewed by existing hosts as just another network accessible using standard techniques via the router which serves that network. This logical network is maintained by the cooperation of the base stations and the mobile router, which is the network entity responsible for storing the actual location information necessary to deliver packets to each mobile computer addressed via that network. The new logical network is administered just as existing networks are, from the perspective of existing hosts. The mobile router may be located arbitrarily as long as it is reachable by the other existing routers on the interconnected networks. The general problem of routing to mobile hosts is divided into several nearly independent areas, which are discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":311143,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings IEEE Conference on Wireless LAN Implementation","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116801413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This report discusses the test program and current development status. Phase I is a large scale communication test performed during the spring and summer of 1992. This test evaluated the reliability of the CEBus communication protocol in actual occupied homes. Phase II is an appliance control test in which modified appliances were controlled and operational data collected using the CEBus.

The overall design approach is driven by stringent requirements in terms of complexity and amount of extra hardware components required. Some techniques are proposed that minimize the effect of optical dynamic range in the throughput performance of the network. The new components required by the hybrid LAN are presented and their basic functions are defined. It is seen that these new components impose some restrictions on the span of the network. A tentative delay budget calculation shows that the new components can be assigned relatively high delays giving some margin for cost/performance tradeoffs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":311143,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings IEEE Conference on Wireless LAN Implementation","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128269321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
