Abstract

The cellular local area radio network (CELARN), which is suitable for transmitting data to indoor mobiles, such as forklifts in factories and warehouses, is proposed. CELARN consists of some radio networks and a wired network which integrates the radio networks. The base stations are connected to one another by the wired network in a logical ring. A data-frame makes the round of the base stations to transmit data. Moreover, the data-frame behaves as a token of the common radio control channel to prevent collisions. The transmission delay performance of CELARN in a car manufacturing factory is analyzed for the practical use
