Architecting a High-Capacity Last-Mile Wireless Mesh Network

Overview Despite availability of multiple non-overlapping channels in the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz spectrum, most IEEE 802.11-based multi-hop ad hoc networks operate in a single channel. This substantially reduces the bandwidth available to each node due to interference between successive hops on the same path as well as between neighboring paths. As a result, conventional single-channel ad hoc network architecture can not be applied to form effective Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) that can adequately support the bandwidth requirements of a last-mile wireless broadband access network, or a campus-scale wireless backbone. This paper describes novel multi-channel WMN architecture, called Hyacinth that effectively addresses this bandwidth problem by fully exploiting non-overlapped radio channels made available by the IEEE 802.11 standards.

The Bloor Perspective: Baan finds a buyer, the not-so-printed word, and Siebel 2000

Unlike many niche solutions, however, events generated and information gathered via the Web can drive activity in other channels (and vice versa). In theory, Siebel could deliver pretty much everything that is needed to facilitate and co-ordinate...

The Ovum View: The perfect call centre

From what I’ve seen to date, it’s a major success for a call centre to have integrated just two channels (typically voice and email handling), let alone a full suite. I don’t dispute that multi-channel interaction and CRM solutions certainly can...

Radioactive: Taipei gets meshed up

The key reason why mesh has not had an impact so far on commercial Wi-Fi services has largely been due to spectrum and site planning. When the industry Wi-Fi guerrillas are in the same room, finding common ground is not so easy but the IEEE is...

Radioactive: Mobile television on trial

By broadcasting TV channels on a one-to-many approach, spectrum is more efficiently handled. Currently, there's a feeling within the industry that Ofcom might issue spectrum as early as 2008 but even that is pending the outcome of the World Radio...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: The search for spectrum

Every time I look at the allocation of radio spectrum channels I go to a brightly coloured wall chart (see Fig 1 below) that gives the impression that it is a resource of great scarcity. This automatically leads you to a world of bands and channels...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Aerial bombardment

G networks might just see contiguous coverage with real bandwidth capable of carrying all we need over a single IP channel. One solution from the past, which is both efficient and on the same scale as the laptop form factor, is the use of slots.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.

IBM Information Server Change Data Capture

In today's fast-paced world, access to real-time data has never been more important. To be successful, organizations need to be able to report and analyze corporate data quickly and easily, regardless of what applications created the data, what platform they're running on, or what database they're stored in.
