Abstract

The standardisation of wireless local area network (WLAN) has been active over the past couple of years (1996-98). One of the positive results is the vendor plans of providing IEEE 802.11 conforming product lines. The 802.11 is a compelling platform to also perform time bounded communication if some of its inherent non determinism can be overcome. The paper studies the possibilities of applying the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) as the underlying platform in prototyping a wireless low power multihop network. The network is designed to perform a timely update of coordinates, routing and data between augmented reality applications: services embedded in electromechanical products and the users wearing lightweight virtual reality interfaces
