Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is known to be an extension of wired area networks. Wired local area network and WLAN share the same basic principle in operation. The only difference is by means of delivering data to a certain terminal or point. WLAN uses Radio Frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data over the air.

Feb 21, 2012 · A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a group of wireless networking devices within a limited geographic area, such as an office building, that exchange data through radio communications. The security of each WLAN is heavily dependent on how well each WLAN component—including client devices, access points (AP), and wireless switches—is secured throughout the WLAN lifecycle, from initial ...
In past two decades, the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) have experienced tremendous growth with the proliferation of IEEE 802.11 devices as a major Internet access for mobile computing. The IEEE standard for WLANs was initiated in 1988 as IEEE 802.4L, a part of the IEEE 802.4 token bus wired LAN standard, and then change its ...

Networks (WMAN), and Wireless Wide-Area Networks (WWANs). Figure 1 illustrates these four categories. Fig. 1.1 Wireless networks classification In addition, wireless networks can be also divided into two broad segments: short-range and long-range. Short-range wireless pertains to networks that are confined to a limited area. This applies to ...
The wireless local area network (WLAN), or IEEE 802.11, is a LAN technology that enables users to access an organization’s network from any location inside the organization without any physical connection to the organization’s network. WLAN uses radio frequency or infrared waves as transmission media. The WLAN is the
This amendment defines mechanisms for the coexistence of an AMP STA and deployed STAs compliant with IEEE Std 802.11™-2020 that operate in the same radio frequency band as the AMP STA. Technical corrections and clarifications to IEEE Std 802.11 for wireless local area networks (WLANs) as well as enhancements to the existing medium access ...
