The technologies supporting these devices will need to co-exist in order to support smooth exchange of information. We envision the existence of an Access Point (AP) , that can sport all these wireless technologies and bridge wireless networks with wired networks. We present the design and preliminary performance evaluation of two types of APs - a Bluetooth Access Point (BAP) and a Common Access Point (CAP) for Bluetooth, WLAN and Ethernet networks.9 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
