Next Generation Wireless LANs 802.11n and 802.11ac, Second Edition Eldad Perahia & Robert Stacey If you’ve been searching for a way to get up to speed on IEEE 802.11n and 802.11ac WLAN standards without having to wade through the entire 802.11 specification, then look no further.

ideal reference for designers of WLAN equipment, network managers, and researchers in the field of wireless communication.

This comprehensive overview describes the underlying principles, implementation details, and key enhancing features of 802.11 and 802.11 ac.

For many of these features, the authors outline the motivation and history behind their adoption into the standard. A detailed discussion of the key throughout, robustness, and reliability enhancing features (such as MIMO, multi-user MIMO, 40\80\160 MHz channels, transmit beamforming, and packet aggregation) is given, in addition to clear summaries of the issue surrounding legacy interoperability and coexistence.

CONTENTS

Now updated and significantly revised, this 2nd edition contains new material on 802.11 ac throughout, including revised chapters on MAC and interoperability, as well as new chapters on 802.11 ac PHY, and multi-user MIMO, making it an
