WiMAX Vs. WiWAIT: Will Mobile Also Dominate Broadband?
[ Source: Arthur D. Little ]
January 2008-
Mobile Wireless Broadband Access (MBWA) systems, which are currently being tested and rolled out worldwide, offer customers broadband connectivity on the move. The development of MBWA presents market opportunities as well as real strategic challenges to companies that own and operate fixed and mobile telecommunications networks, with the possibility of a disruptive change in the competitive landscape. The goal of this paper published by WiMAX is to provide a balanced and independent view, while also ....
The Mistaken Axioms of Wireless-Network Research
[ Source: Dartmouth College ]
January 2008-
Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (MANET) has become a lively field within the past few years. Since it is difficult to conduct experiments with real mobile computers and real wireless networks in the real world, nearly all published MANET articles are buttressed with graphs produced by simulation, and these simulations are based on common simplifying assumptions. It will come as no surprise that many reviewers and readers of such papers treat these simulation results with less than ....
Eleven Myths about 802.11 Wi-Fi Networks
[ Source: Global Knowledge ]
August 2006-
It seems that Wi-Fi networks have been misunderstood by much of the IT community since their inception. Even the reasons for this misunderstanding are kind of hard to understand. The result has been that myths about 802.11 (better known as Wi-Fi) networks have grown almost as fast as the technology itself. This paper dispels 11 of the more common myths and provides accurate information that you can use to make your wireless network more secure, ....
Simple Tricks To Ace the Subnetting Portion of Any Certification Exam

November 2006-
Subnetting seems to be a battle of fighting bits, decimal numbers, and countless methods and processes to convert from one to the other. While the methods may be confusing, the mathematics behind them is the same for all. In this paper, you will learn some of the simpler ways to figure out many of the subnetting questions that you will find on the industry certification tests.

[ Source: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ]
January 2008-
In recent years, high-speed WLANs have become widely popular in various sectors, including health care, manufacturing and academic settings. These sectors benefited from the productivity gains of using hand-held terminals and notebook computers to transmit real-time information within physically distributed environments. This research paper presents a media-oriented mechanism for selecting the appropriate transmission mode in 802.11-based Wireless LANs (WLANs). The paper discusses the modifications needed for the control and data-packet headers to implement the approach ....

Numerical Analysis of IEEE 802.11 Broadcast Scheme in Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
[ Source: Springer Science+Business Media ]
January 2008-
A study of the performance of IEEE 802.11 broadcast scheme in multihop wireless networks using an analytical model is described in this. Previous works have evaluated the performance of IEEE 802.11 protocol assuming unicast communication, but there has not been an analysis considering broadcast communication. Analyzing performance of broadcast communication is important because multicast communication is gaining attention in wireless networks with numerous potential applications.
