Features: This book is divided into 9 chapters, summarizing the fundamental principles, technologies, and modulation methods of wireless networks and communications, as well as wireless local area networks (WLANs). It comprehensively and systematically elaborates on a series of spread spectrum technologies used in WLAN communication systems: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), and Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM). The book also introduces the series of WLAN standards: IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.11b, and IEEE 802.11a, including their modulation methods, frame formats, and MAC layer specifications. Additionally, it combines hardware components such as WLAN adapters (network cards), access points, bridges, and routers, as well as tool software, to explain the process of setting up a WLAN: networking, configuration, security, testing, and analysis. Finally, it looks ahead to the applications and development trends of WLANs. The book is rich in content, innovative in form, and easy to understand, making it suitable as a textbook for colleges and universities, as well as a reference for relevant technical personnel and management staff.
