Wireless LANs and Mobile Networking: Standards and Future Directions

this paper, we discuss several emerging standards that relate to wireless LAN systems. These standards include two physical and link layer standards, IEEE 802.11 and ETSI HIPERLAN, as well as a mobile networking standard, Mobile IP, and some developing standards for wireless link management. In this paper, we focus on the use of radio frequency wireless LANs, as opposed to infrared wireless systems. For radio frequency wireless LANs, the availability o
