Chapter 7. Medium Access Control (MAC) for HiperLAN/2 Networks

Mika Kasslin

IN THIS CHAPTER

HiperLAN/2 is a 5 GHz WLAN standard specified in European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Project Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN). The medium access control (MAC) for the IEEE 802.11 and HiperLAN/2 is the primary difference between the two OFDM WLAN standards. As discussed in Chapter 6, the IEEE 802.11 MAC is a carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol, whereas the HiperLAN/2 MAC is a time division multiple access/time division duplexing (TDMA/TDD) protocol. ...
