This paper deals with the design and implementation of a wireless Local Area Network (LAN), called DECT LAN, providing access to a backbone wired Ethernet network. Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard provides only the radio interface between mobile devices and Ethernet via a base station. The DECT protocol is implemented as a combination of hardware and software compone...

1 Introduction Wireless data technologies promises high benefits to the user, such as ubiquitous and mobile computing, but for those to be realised, both application developers and users need to make sense of it. For now, they are both overwhelmed and puzzled by the complexity and diversity of available implementations. The goal of this paper is to explore the impact of this wireless diversity ...

The IEEE 802.11 MAC family of standards has been designed for communication in traditional wireless LANs. The enhancement of the IEEE 802.11 family of standards is mainly seen in terms of channel speeds [1][2]. This fact, combined with advances in portable/handable computing and wireless technologies are expected to further increase possibilities and significant interest in the design and devel...

WiFi based phones are becoming increasingly popular due to the ubiquitous presence of wireless LANs and the use of unlicensed spectrum. These phones use VoIP techniques over wireless LANs. In addition to the spectral efficiency and security issues, power consumption is a vital issue in making the usage of these phones widespread. Efforts are underway in improving power conservation in these pho...
