A wireless LAN or WLAN is a wireless local area network‚ which is the linking of two or more computers without using wires. It is the same as LAN‚ but has a wireless interface. WLAN utilizes spread-spectrum technology based on radio waves to enable communication between devices in a limited area‚ also known as the basic service set. This gives users the mobility to move around within a broad coverage area and still be connected to the network. Wireless Local Area networks (WLANs) have been employed

generation. It is the wireless technology that initially enabled Internet browsing over wireless networks. An example of 3G technologies is EV-DO. 4G is the generic abbreviation for 4th generation. It is the wireless technology that was designed to optimize data over wireless networks‚ improving the speed and efficiency of data delivery. LTE is one of the technologies that can be used to build a 4G network. This research will compare contrast 3G wireless networks to 4G networks. Compare

local processing and wireless communication‚ a reality. Such nodes are called as sensor nodes. Each sensor node is capable of only a limited amount of processing. But when coordinated with the information from a large number of other nodes‚ they have the ability to measure a given physical environment in great detail. Thus‚ a sensor network can be described as a collection of sensor nodes which co-ordinate to perform some specific action. Unlike traditional networks‚ sensor networks depend on dense deployment

Wireless Local Area Network Background The first wireless computer communication network ALOHAnet (operational in 1971) was developed by Norman Abramson‚ a professor at the University of Hawaii. At first‚ the wireless LAN was so costly that it was just used as an alternative to the places where the cabling was difficult or impossible. Recent developments included industry specific solutions and proprietary protocols‚ but were replaced by various versions of IEEE 802.11. In 2009‚ 802.11

WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK (Reshma Bhat‚ 3rd sem‚EC) Abstract A Wireless Sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions‚ such as temperature‚ sound‚ vibration‚ pressure‚ motion or pollutants. The development of wireless sensor networks was motivated by military applications such as battlefield surveillance and are now used in many industrial and civilian application areas‚ including industrial
