Wireless Network after Next

• The WNaN radio was envisioned as a low-cost, hand-held, multi-channel, spectrum-agile, MIMO-capable wireless node, built with inexpensive RF circuit technology. It operated in the 900 MHz to 6 GHz frequency band, and contained multiple radio transceivers for simultaneous transmission and reception across multiple frequency bands at rates greater than 1 megabit/second.
• The WNaN network provided highly adaptive communications in a self-organizing, self-healing network. Each radio node acted as a router to automatically perform dynamic spectrum management for spectrum agility, Disruption Tolerant Networking for resilience, and content-based networking for efficient data dissemination. The routers also took full advantage of sending and receiving communications packets in parallel across multiple radio transceivers.
