Abstract
In the near future, homes will be equipped with wireless networks that bridge data and consumer electronics networks, interconnecting desktop PCs, mobile laptops and handhelds, High-Definition TVs (HDTVs), DVD players, camcorders, and other multimedia devices. This environment introduces new wireless network requirements, including high and dependable bandwidth, low latency, and coverage throughout the home. Multihop wireless technology offers unique benefits for creating a high-speed, robust home wireless network. However, to support these demanding usage models, significant wireless networking innovations are required across the physical, MAC, and routing layers, and solutions need to be found for higher level issues such as Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees, device discovery, and security. In addition, user acceptance of multi-hop wireless networks will require ease of installation. Intel R&D is currently researching self-organizing multi-hop wireless networks for home environments. This paper introduces the technologies and tradeoffs needed to create a multi-hop wireless home network, identifying benefits and limitations. In particular, we describe usage scenarios and assumptions that drive the requirements. Finally, we provide an outline of the key technology problems that must be solved and recommend the necessary next steps to make this vision a reality.
