Network
Infrastructure
As shown in the following figure, the broadband indoor wireless LAN
is a infrastructure-based network. One access point (AP) in a cell manages
all mobile terminals (MTs) covered by the cell. MTs supporting multimedia
traffic communicate with each other via the access to APs. Through APs,
MTS cannot only be connected to other wireless LANs such as IEEE 802.11,
HIPERLAN, and IEEE 802.16, but it can also be connected to wired LANs or
wired backbone networks such as ATM networks and the next generation Internet.
