  abstract = {In this paper, we propose an inexpensive solution to the extension
	of wireless local area networks (WLAN) coverage. Our work shows that
	one can use antennas connected to the utility pipes (e.g., natural
	gas pipes, drinking water pipes, etc.) to extend the coverage of
	WLAN. Furthermore, this approach eliminates handovers from high to
	low data rate networks; e.g., handovers that occur from WLAN to a
	general packet radio service (GPRS) network. Therefore, the proposed
	approach avoids the drastic drop in the data rate when handovers
	occur from high to low data rate wireless networks. We also develop
	an analytical framework to evaluate the performance of the proposed
	approach.},
