Abstract(in English) Recently, the demand for the expansion of the service area by the wireless local area network (WLAN) has become strong due to rapid deployments of WLANs. We have studied WIMNET (wireless Internet-access mesh network) as the WLAN technology of constructing the Internet access network to the large area with the low cost and the short preparation time. In WIMNET, the service area can be flexibly expanded by adding new access points (APs) that are wirelessly connected using WDS (Wireless Distribution System). In this paper, we present the smart access paint (SAP) equipped with the Web cache function, and the multiple network interfaces, in order to solve the throughput shortage problem when the size of WIMNET increases to afford a number of hosts. We construct a simple WIMNET using multiple SAPs that were implemented on mobile personal computers, and evaluate the functions in SAP through communication experiments.
