Abstract :
The author considers the problem of interconnecting wireless terminals to a local area network (LAN) through multiple radio bridges. A network architecture is presented which enables flexible relocation of terminals sharing the same pair of radio channels over the network. The bridge algorithms selflearn for frame forwarding, and take advantage of multiple radio paths to combat propagation adversities while prep venting frame duplication over the LAN.
