802.11n: The Next Generation of Wireless Performance

The IEEE 802.11 Working Group has been working for the last few years to standardize an upgrade to the 802.11 radio that provides a new set of capabilities dramatically improving the reliability of 802.11 communications, the predictability of 802.11 coverage, and the overall throughput of 802.11 devices. This paper describes...

802.11n Design and Deployment Guidelines

The industry has been excited about 802.11n from the day the suggestion was made that fast Ethernet speeds might be achievable in the world of Wi-Fi. Now, that standard is ready for mass consumption in the form of the Draft 2.0 version of 802.11n from the IEEE, widely approved by...

802.11n Draft 2.0 gear still a neighbor killer

802.11n Draft 2.0 gear still a neighbor killerThat may be true for D-Link firmware updates but . . .they probably weren't tested by the Wi-Fi alliance because the alliance just started testing yesterday for chipsets. I wonder if meeting Draft 2.0 specifications means extra hardware inside the box.However thanks...

Mesh Topology Construction for Interconnected Wireless LANs

The 802.11s working group has been formed recently to recommend an Extended Service Set ESS that enables wider area communications among distributed clients, each of which has access to an IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN WLAN. Such coverage can be provided by the implementation of a mesh backbone network that serves...

Performance Analysis and Enhancements for IEEE 802.11e Wireless Networks

The IEEE 802.11 WLAN legacy standard cannot provide QoS support for multimedia applications. Thus, considerable research efforts have been carried out to enhance QoS support for 802.11. Among them, 802.11e is the upcoming QoS-enhanced standard proposed by the IEEE working group. This paper describes in detail the new QoS features...

Nokia, Intel push for WiMax this year

Nokia, Intel push for WiMax this yearExcuse MeWho keeps shooting down my WiMAX steamroller paradigm with stuff like - It won't be ready until 2007? Excuse me but the steamroller is moving, and you can either ride it or stand in the way.IEEE and WiMAX Forum keep shooting you down.http://www.ieee802.org/16/tge/...

Belkin and MIMO heats up the Wireless Ethernet wars

MIMO Multiple In Multiple Out Wireless Ethernet radio technology is one of the candidates for the new 802.11n standard. Even though official ratification of the standard is more than a year out and it isn't clear what the final standard will look like, Belkin just couldn't wait to jump on...

A "Smart" MAC-Routing Protocol for WLAN Mesh Networks

A WLAN mesh network is a IEEE 802.11 WLAN infrastructured network in which the communication within the Access Points in the same Extended Service Set ESS is hop-by-hop in a router-like fashion. The IEEE 802.11s working group has centered the target of focusing on the MAC layer protocol, understanding how...
