The
IEEE 802.11 Handbook : A Designer's Companion
The IEEE 802.11 Handbook: A Designer's Companion familiarizes system
network architects, hardware engineers and software engineers with the
basic concepts, terminology and key specifications of the IEEE 802.11
standard--serving as an indispensable primer.
This book takes the reader from a basic understanding of WLANs
through the details of the PHY and MAC layer of the standard. The authors
articulate a clear picture of the standard to both first-time and
experienced designers of wireless products. So if you're a new market
entrant or an existing manufacturer of proprietary WLAN solutions and
you're developing IEEE 802.11 based products for the RF or Infrared WLAN
market, this book is for you.

OFDM
for Wireless Multimedia Communications
Recently, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) accepted orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) as the
standard for wireless local area networks. But up to now, a comprehensive
introduction to OFDM has not been available. Authors Richard van Nee and
Ramjee Prasad have filled that breach with this examination of design
guidelines and performance metrics. They begin with an introduction to the
history of wireless broadband systems, the development of the technology,
and the advantages of multicarrier transmission. OFDM
for Wireless Multimedia Communications will find a place on the
bookshelf of anyone administering a wireless LAN.
