Evaluation of a Wireless Enterprise Backbone Network Architecture

Overview IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology is mainly used as an access network within corporate enterprises. All the WLAN access points are eventually connected to a wired backbone to reach the Internet or enterprise computing resources. The aim of the project discussed in this paper is to expand WLAN into an enterprise-scale backbone network technology by developing a multi-channel wireless mesh network architecture called Hyacinth. Hyacinth equips each node with multiple IEEE 802.11a/b NICs and supports distributed channel assignment/routing to increase the overall network throughput.
