14-1 IEEE 802.11


IEEE has defined the specifications for a wireless LAN, called IEEE 802.11, which covers the physical and data link layers.

Topics discussed in this section:


Architecture MAC Sublayer Physical Layer

Note

A BSS without an AP is called an ad hoc network; a BSS with an AP is called an infrastructure network.

14-2 BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth is a wireless LAN technology designed to connect devices of different functions such as telephones, notebooks, computers, cameras, printers, coffee makers, and so on. A Bluetooth LAN is an ad hoc network, which means that the network is formed spontaneously.
