Extending CAN protocol with ISA100.11a wireless network

Hybrid network of wired and wireless technology has become hot topic research as a result of increasing demands in applying wireless network for industrial application. Hybrid network introduces different delay characteristic, depending on what technology that compose the hybrid network. In this paper, we present a framework for building a hybrid network composed of CAN protocol and ISA100.11a industrial wireless network. Simulation result have demonstrated that bottleneck of the hybrid network lies on ISA100.11a network.
