Abstract

In this paper, we propose a frame transfer protocol with shortcut (FRASH): a novel frame transfer protocol suitable for wireless bridge networks based on the wireless LAN standard approved by IEEE 802.11 committee. FRASH has compatibility with conventional transparent bridge protocols for Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 bridges. Furthermore, it achieves higher throughput and less forwarding delay than a conventional protocol. This paper presents a detailed FRASH scheme and clarifies that FRASH improves throughput characteristics by more than 40% compared with the conventional protocol by computer simulations
