Abstract

In this paper, we present a network architecture that supports the best effort multi-hop extension of managed wireless hotspots, which is a reasonable approach to fulfil the connectivity needs of the ubiquitous computing paradigm. The infrastructural elements of the network enhance the communication performance of wireless mobile stations and establish a scalable networking environment. The proposed architecture organises nodes into multiple, dynamic address tree hierarchies based on their radio connections. By these means, the architecture enables a multi-path routing mechanism that uses no routing tables, packets being deterministically forwarded based solely on the structure of their destination address.
