ABSTRACT

Recently, a multi-hop wireless LAN system that APs (Access Point) are connected by ad-hoc network technology each other without the need for any cable, is introduced to expand the coverage easily. And some WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers) announced that they will offer a public wireless LAN service in partnership with a company providing the physical wireless infrastructure. To realize that service, the VLAN technology is very useful. So we proposed VLAN over multi-hop wireless LAN system, VLAN information exchange protocol and developed the prototype system.
