Beyond the Site Survey: RF Spectrum Management for Wireless LANs
Overview Our primary objective in the further development of wireless networks of any form today is to narrow, if not eliminate, the behavioral and performance differences that distinguishes wireless from wireline. So, while it is most certainly true that a wireless LAN is, in fact, a local-area network and therefore at least in theory capable of handling any mission suitable for a LAN, the "wireless" part of "wireless LAN" often gets in the way. The primary reasons for this are the vagaries of the radio channel, that property of the universe that allows data to move through the air in much the same fashion as it travels through wire. This White Paper will look at what can be done at the physical (radio) later to improve the performance of wireless-LAN systems.
