Delay bound analysis for hybrid networks: Interoperable IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN over fiber

Abstract

The interoperable capabilities between the mixed WLAN standards in the environment of hybrid network are subject to be discussed. In this case, the extended fiber link may achieve 21.7 km. Among the modulations and the access methods applied, it shows that the delay bound of 802.11g DSSS-OFDM 54 Mbps is reasonable, however, it offer the highest data rate.
