Inside 802.11n Wireless LANs: Practical Insights and Analysis

The IEEE 802.11n Draft Standard specifies a next generation Wireless LAN WLAN technology promising nearly twice the reach and far better throughput than 802.11abg legacy devices. The technology is very complex (the draft is over 470 pages long) and has evolved during the standards process with a history of battle...

Future-Forward to 802.11 n: The Testing Challenge in Wireless Networking

The crucial interoperability of wireless network devices built around the 802.11 standard is threatened by the advent of new and faster technologies. The IEEE is trying to cope by introducing the 802.11n standard - but it's still in draft form. Meanwhile, how can manufacturers cope with the confusion and promise...

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...

802.11n Draft 2.0 gear still a neighbor killer

As we get to the final draft stages of the 802.11n standard, it was thought that the neighbor interference issues have been put to rest by the Draft 2.0.  The new standard supposedly has a strict ban on dual-channel operation whenever any legacy devices are operating.  The product is suppose to back off from...

802.11n - The consequences of abandoning the 5 GHz frontier

When 802.11b first started getting popular in late 2000, no one imagined that it would still be the most dominant standard 6 years later and continue to dictate the design of the latest wireless LAN products because it is the lowest common denominator. As with any technology that is...
