Abstract

This article focuses on the development of a communications protocol aimed at increasing the coverage area of wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) mesh networks in India in 2005. Several nodes can exchange radio signals with each other as well as with users in a Wi-Fi mesh environment. The protocol enables off-the-shelf Wi-Fi radios to form mesh networks with distances of up to 40 kilometers between their nodes while maintaining or even increasing data transfer speeds. A medium access control is needed in every wireless network to transmit radio signals in an orderly fashion.
