-This paper describes the application of wireless local area network (LAN) simulation modeling methods to the hybrid LAN architecture designed for supporting crew-computing tools aboard the International Space Station (JSS). These crew-computing tools, such as wearable computers and portable advisory systems, will provide crew members.with real-time vehicle and payload status information and access td digital technical and scientific libraries, significantly enhancing human capabiIities in space.' A wireless network, therefore, will provide wearable computers and remote instruments with, ' the high performance computational power needed by' next-generation "intelligent" software applications; . Wireless network performance in such simulated environments is characterized by the sustainable throughput .of data under different ..kf%c conditions. This data will be used 'to help plan. the ddition of more accc §a points supporting new modules .and .more .nodes for' i m network capacity as the ISS growsi
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
