IEEE 802 standards are used but not often thought of in our daily lives—IEEE 802.3, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.15.4, Wi-SUN, etc. Despite these standards playing a role in almost every ...

The most recent version of the IEEE’s wireless local-area network (WLAN) standard, 802.11ac, uses the 5-GHz unlicensed band and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to significantly boost data speeds ...

Since the ratification of the IEEE 802.11i amendment, organizations have been able to take advantage of improved security on wireless networks with WPA2-compliant hardware. However, the protection ...

The 802.11 designation refers to the IEEE’s WLAN standard, commonly called by its trade name, Wi-Fi. The suffix indicates one alternative of the standard. Currently, 802.11n is the most widely ...

Anyone developing wireless LAN (WLAN) systems knows the security problem created by the wired equivalency protocol (WEP). The bigger issue designers must wrestle with is how to solve the problems ...

IEEE 802.11, the Wi-Fi standard, denotes a set of Wireless LAN/WLAN standards developed by working group 11 of the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE 802).

Our life is surrounded by internet services and it’s hard to imagine not being connected to the web one way or another. It’s also worth thinking about technologies such as Wi-Fi and Ethernet, which ...

In the IEEE standards camp, an 802.11e spec is being developed as an extension to the current 11M bit/sec 802.11b (2.4-GHz) wireless LAN standard to provide missing QoS and security provisions.

So, here's a question. Did you realize that the 802.11n WLAN router you purchased three years ago, your shiny new 802.11n-equipped notebook and your 802.11n dongle you bought for your grandmother wasn ...
