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.

An investigation into the geometric optics approximation for indoor scenarios with a discussion on pseudolateral waves

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the geometric optics (GO) approximation to the fields of an infinitesimal electric dipole above a half plane for geometries typical of wireless indoor communications.

Resource Reservation for Cellular Data Services Using Fuzzy Matrices

TL;DR: The authors propose a mechanism based on fuzzy matrices with movement direction and mobility specification to predict the locations that a mobile host will visit that may significantly reduce mean miss-rate and operating cost at the expense of a small blocking rate.

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.
