Off‐The‐Shelf Enablers of AD HOC Networks
Gergely V. Zaruba, Sajal Kumar Das · 2004
This chapter introduces several WPAN and WLAN standards. In the WLAN, the strongest competitor today is IEEE802.11b, also called Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz. Wi-Fi 5.2 GHz is quickly emerging, providing symbol rates comparable to that of Fast-Ethernet. Wi-Fi defines an ad hoc operational mode, which makes it the most common off-the shelf enabler for ad hoc network testbeds.
