• IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN - Helsinki University of Technology.
  
  This document introduces the IEEE standard 802.11 for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The document also makes a comparison to GSM cellular network, where the cell size could be much larger. The paper discusses the basis outlining the network planning process, such as frequency, scale of mobility, transmission capacity needs and population variation. Finally the total network planning process of a cellular network is introduced. The question is how does the use of unlicensed frequency band affect the WLAN network planning. Finally the study suggest what are the relevant requirements for wireless communication with short range mobility. It also suggests what GSM planning criteria can be omitted in the WLAN environment. click here
