A Technical Tutorial on the IEEE 802.11 Protocol (PDF 24P)
The purpose of this
document is to give technical readers a basic overview of the new 802.11
Standard, in such a way that they will be able to understand the basic concepts, the
principle of operations, and some of the reasons behind some of the features
and/or components of the Standard.
A wireless ad-hoc network
is a wireless network deployed without any infrastructure. This
includes wireless mesh networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and vehicular
ad-hoc networks. This book focuses on the most fundamental aspects of
wireless ad-hoc networks. Topics include the design of the link layer
for better performance, the study on routing protocols for higher
efficiency, and practical issues in its application.
This book presents some of the latest
development status of wireless LAN, covering the topics on physical layer, MAC
layer, QoS and systems. It provides an opportunity for both practitioners and
researchers to explore the problems that arise in the rapidly developed
technologies in wireless LAN.
