Abstract :
A concept is presented that introduces a new element called forwarding mobile terminal (FMT) to the HIPERLAN/2 (H/2) world. The FMT is designed to provide users in uncovered areas with access to the fixed Internet by providing an intermediate hop. The FMT is introduced in a way that it is backward compatible to existing H/2 equipment. The FMT is a modified H/2 mobile terminal which needs different software, but no additional transceiver. The concept is evolved for the H/2 link layers and signalling flows, furthermore future possible enhancements are presented
