[net] IEEE 802.11Wireless Local Area Networks

Overall a very boring paper, but provides good info on IEEE 802.11 WLANs..


Abstract:

The draft IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) specification is
approaching completion. In this article, the IEEE 802.11
protocol is explained, with particular emphasis on the medium access control
sublayer. Performance results are provided for packetized
data and a combination of packetized data and voice over the WLAN. Our
performance investigation reveals that an IEEE 802.11
network may be able to carry traffic with time-bounded requirements using
the point coordination function. However, our findings
suggest that packetized voice traffic must be handled in conjunction with an
echo canceler.
