IEEE 802.11 Overview Rong-Hong Jan Dept of Computer and Information Science National Chiao Tung University 802.11 Technologies:Past, Present and Future Approved and near-term 802.11 Letter Standards Faster: Standards-based Wi-Fi now delivers data rates up to 54 Mbps to Wi-Fi clients. (11a,11g) Better-performing: The need for a better-performing MAC has been driven by demanding application such as voice and video. Quality of Service enhancements have modified the MAC to provide admission control and prioritized channel access. (11e) More secure: Security enhancements have been developed to address access control and authentication and data privacy and integrity, driven by the market requirement for enterprise-level security in wireless LANs. (11i) Broader applicability: Regulatory enhancements that broaden the applicability of 802.11 to other frequencies such as 4.9 GHz in Japan and other regulatory domains. (11j) Physical Layer enhancements 11a,11b,11g Quality of Service (QoS) enhancements 11e Security enhancements 11i WPA Regulatory enhancements 11d 11h Future 802.11 Standards 802.11j The 802.11j Task Group is working on Japanese regulatory extensions to allow for operation in the 4.9 GHz and 5GHz bands in Japan. This is expected to be approved in 2005. 802.11k 802.11k is focused on standardizing the radio measurements that will allow uniform measurement of radio information across different manufacturer platforms. By having standardized, repeatable measurements, system designers can utilize radio environment information to make better decisions as to frequency use, transmit power levels, etc. 802.11n The 802.11n Task Group is focusing on creating a standard to further increase the net throughput of wireless networks. The goal is to achieve greater than 150 Mbps usable throughput over an 802.11. Both physical and MAC layer changes are being considered, but backward compatibility is required. 802.11r The 802.11r Task Group is working on reducing the hand
