| Abstract | In the Wireless Local Area Network, we have one personal computer (Host Server) locating at a mobile vehicle to control and communicate with Internet via Mobile Access Station (MAS). Mobile personal computing devices are becoming universal as their prices drop and their capabilities increase. With the growing dependence of day to day computing on the distributed information base, providing network attachment to these devices is an essential requirement. Using wireless network interfaces, wireless LAN can be connected to Internet in the same way as wired LANs are connected using Ethernet, token-ring or point-to-point link. The major difference, however, is that mobile devices can move while in operation, which means that their point of attachment to the network can change from time to time. It is natural that mobile users desire uninterrupted access to all networking services even while it is moving. Unfortunately, neither the Internet protocol suite nor the OSI network architecture can provide this functionality. So, there is a big challenge that lies in finding a solution that allows mobile end-systems to function efficiently within the internet architecture without requiring modifications to the existing infrastructure and host software. In the same way, we view mobile device as a ship in which has local area network resided. Thus, ships of the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) require a wireless network that can provide an administration net while they patrol in the sea. This thesis deals with the RTN interconnection model and uses simulation techniques to analyze and compare the performance of our model. |
