Abstract
We analyze a new wireless system concept called Infostations, that can provide isolated pockets of high bandwidth connectivity for future data and messaging services. The intermittent connectivity available to mobile terminals using a network of Infostations raises new issues in protocol design at several layers. This paper describes the challenges of Infostation protocol design. It also presents a mathematical analysis of Infostation information transfer focusing on the optimum combination of transmission rate and coverage area.Keywords
