Abstract A Wireless Channel Oriented Ad-hoc Multihop Broadband (W-CHAMB) Network supporting mobile computing and multimedia applications is described in this paper. As the medium access control (MAC) in the air interface is fully distributed, no frequency planning is needed for the W-CHAMB network. Radio channel resources are dynamically allocated to the spot, where they are needed. With a specific protocol stack developed for the W-CHAMB network, a real time variable bit rate (rt-VBR) service together with a delay insensitive available bit rate (ABR) service can be supported. The network efficiency and the complementary packet delay distribution under various network loads are analyzed through the computer simulation based on a formal protocol specification in SDL. The superiority of the performance of W-CHAMB network can be seen in comparison with that of IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN).
