TLDR
The article 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) and speculating on future directions for wireless LAN systems.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.read more

Evaluating performance of the HIPERLAN CAC layer protocol for asynchronous traffic
C. Coutras,Peng-Jun Wan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the MAC layer of the HIPERLAN protocol suite for asynchronous data transfer has been analyzed and evaluated using both analysis and simulation to better understand the issues involved.
Evaluation of Video Quality of Service in 3G/UMTS Wireless Networks as Succor for B3G/4G Wireless Network
TL;DR: The investigation illustrates that proper adaptation of QoS provides qualitative transmission in voice and video telephony and proposes integration scheme to enhance the QoS performance in 3G/UMTS network based on existing QoS parameters.

Performance evaluation of Westwood+ TCP over WLANs with local error control
TL;DR: Simulation results show that Westwood+ TCP requires a smaller number of retransmissions at the link layer than New Reno to achieve full utilization of the wireless channel, and local error control persistency improves the good-put with respect to NewReno TCP in the presence of bursty losses.
Indoor Polarization and Directivity Measurements at 5.8 GHz
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how antenna polarization and directivity affect indoor radio channel bandwidth and signal coverage and concluded that directional linearly-polarized (LP), directional circularlypolarised (CP), and omnidirectional LP antennas were employed, and conclusions were drawn from basic transmission loss, rms delay spread, and crosspolarization discrimination results.

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.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
TL;DR: Due to some errors introduced into RFC 1531 in the editorial process, this memo is reissued as RFC 1541.

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.
