Advances in Packet Forwarding
The Mimo-Mesh Project of Kyushu University based in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, has developed and put into use new packet forwarding technology for building wide-area wireless infrastructure.
IPT, Intermittent Periodic Transmit, is a proprietary packet-forwarding scheme that is designed to reduce radio interference in the forwarding path of mesh networks. IPT forwarding eliminates packet collisions and therefore enables high throughput in long hop relays, permitting creation of a large scale mesh.
In 2010, hundreds of wireless LAN access points incorporating the technology were installed in the commercial shopping and entertainment complex, Canal City Hakata, resulting in the successful operation of one of the world's largest indoor wireless multi-hop backhauls.
