Abstract
The emerging widespread use of wireless LAN systems together with the users' desire for such systems to interoperate has created a requirement for standards. Many standards bodies are currently defining standards for wireless systems that relate to different layers of the networking protocol stack. Of these, two influential physical and data link layer standards, IEEE 802.11 and the European HIPERLAN, are described. The article then considers the network layer by discussing extensions that are being made to the widely used Internet protocol (IP) to deal with mobility (wired or wireless). The final standards that are discussed relate to wireless link management. The article concludes by speculating on future directions for wireless LAN systems.

A Priority Scheme for IEEE 802. 11 DCF Access Method

TL;DR: This paper proposes a method to modify the CSMA/CA protocol such that station priorities can be supported, and results show that DCF is able to carry the prioritized traffic with the proposed scheme.

Emerging mobile and wireless networks

TL;DR: Wireless and mobile networks have provided the flexibility required for an increasingly mobile workforce and the technological maturity and the tremendous competition among service providers is indicated.
Patent

Automotive telemetry protocol

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method of conveying vehicle operation data from a vehicle to a remote monitoring recipient, comprising the steps of establishing a data link between the vehicle and the remote monitoring receiver, collecting vehicle operations from data sources in the vehicle, packaging the vehicle operations in a data packet using protocol derived from SNMP, and conveying the data packet over the data link.

Wireless local area network with enhanced carrier sense provision

TL;DR: In this article, a method and system of operating a wireless local area network station adapted to transmit and receive a signal within a communication cell is presented, which includes the steps of establishing a carrier detect threshold level, establishing a defer threshold level and transmitting a signal when the signal level detected by the network station is above the defer level.

Highly dynamic Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector routing (DSDV) for mobile computers

TL;DR: The modifications address some of the previous objections to the use of Bellman-Ford, related to the poor looping properties of such algorithms in the face of broken links and the resulting time dependent nature of the interconnection topology describing the links between the Mobile hosts.

IP Mobility Support

TL;DR: This document specifies protocol enhancements that allow transparent routing of IP datagrams to mobile nodes in the Internet.

Mobility support in IPv6

TL;DR: This document specifies Mobile IPv6, a protocol which allows nodes to remain reachable while moving around in the IPv6 Internet, and defines a new IPv6 protocol and a new destination option.
