Repeater vs. Bridge-Based Hybrid Wired/Wireless PROFIBUS Networks: a Comparative Performance Analysis

Ref: HURRAY-TR-060901       Publication Date: 20 to 22, Sep, 2006

Abstract:
In the last years, several solutions have been proposed to extend PROFIBUS in order to support wired and wireless network stations in the same network. In this paper we compare two of those solutions, one in which the interconnection between wired and wireless stations is made by repeaters and another in which the interconnection is made by bridges. The comparison is both qualitative and numerical, based on simulation models of both architectures.
