Design and Development of Hardware to Interconnect Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

Abstract

Interconnection of different wireless standards to achieve wide range of connectivity and easy access to information has been at forefront in terms of modern technologies. Designing such a system is a challenging task and in this paper, we have designed a hardware based wireless heterogeneous network to enable different wireless technologies to interconnect with each other. Our experimental results show that our designed heterogeneous network performs well if the size of data is kept small and if the wireless devices connecting to heterogeneous router are kept at optimal distance. Moreover, our test results show that there is minimum bit error as well as delay if the transmission is between Bluetooth and RF module.
