Additional notes about 802.11 WGs:
Initially, IEEE 802.11 was released, IEEE 802.11b/a/g/n appeared later;
IEEE 802.11b was the most successful among family (early entrance to the market);
IEEE 802.11a first appeared on the marked (not compatible with IEEE 802.11b);
IEEE 802.11g appeared on the marked (compatible with IEEE 802.11b);
IEEE 802.11n is backward compatible with 802.11b/g
Why is 802.11 WLANs are so successful:
simplicity of the basic access protocol;
good start back in 90s.

3. Physical layer
IEEE standard supports three options for medium to be used for communication:
one is based on infrared;
two others are based on radio.
The physical layer is logically divided into two layers:
physical medium-dependent sublayer (PMD);
physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP).

4.3. Acknowledgements
WHY WE HAVE TO USE ACKs:
you may expect that frequently frames are incorrectly received.
ACKs ARE POSITIVE! HOW IT IS DONE:
if a packet is correctly received then priority transmission is organized for ACK (SIFS);
the receiver accesses the medium after waiting for a SIFS and sends ACK.

Data-rate:
802.11b: up to 11Mbps;
802.11a: up to 54Mbps, (up to 72Mbps) (realistically, less, fastly decreases with distance);
Result: 54Mbps looks promising if one can get it working.
Cost efficiency:
802.11b: well-established manufacturing;
802.11a: components are more expensive, more transmitters are required;
Result: 802.11b is cheaper.
Compatibility:
802.11b: this was the first available WLAN;
802.11a: is not compatible with 802.11b;
Result: not so good for 802.11a.
Number of users:
802.11a: can accommodate more users due to increase in channels and bandwidth;
Result: capacity of 802.11a is higher.

802.11b: up to 11Mbps;
802.11g: up to 54Mbps (realistically 10 20);
Result: less than 802.11a, more than 802.11b.
Cost efficiency:
802.11b: well-established manufacturing;
802.11g: components are more expensive than 802.11b, less expensive than (802.11a);
Result: 802.11b is cheaper.
Compatibility:
802.11b: this was the first available WLAN;
802.11g: compatible with 802.11b;
Result: from this point of view 802.11g is a nice choice.
Number of users:
802.11g: the same number of channel as in 802.11b;
Result: capacity of 802.11a is higher.

9. HIPERLAN/1
WHAT HIPERLAN/1 PROVIDES:
allows nodes to be deployed in a pre-arranged and ad-hoc manners;
provides forwarding mechanism e.g., multi-hop routing;
provides data rate of around 25Mbps;
has the capability to support both multimedia and asynchronous data;
COMPARING WITH IEEE 802.11:
IEEE 802.11 is seen as dumb but simple;
HIPERLAN is clever but more sophisticated.
PROTOCOL STACK: TWO LAYERS OF OSI:
physical layer;
data-link layer:
medium access control (MAC) sublayer;
channel access control (CAC) sublayer.

PRIORITIZATION:
Aim: to detect nodes having packets with the highest CAM priority. Two stages:
priority detection:
A node listens channel for a number of slots proportional to the CAM priority of its packet.
priority assertion:
A node asserts its priority sending a signal in the slot corresponding to the packet priority.
Nodes having packets with low CAM priority detects nodes with the higher priority packets.
CONTENTION:
Aim: eliminate as many nodes as possible to minimize the collision:
Elimination phase:
a node transmits signal for geometrically distributed number of slots (0.5k ,k is the CAM);
the it senses the media for one slot;
if transmissions in this slot are detected, a node stops contention process;
if no, it goes to yield phase.
Yield phase:
A node listens channel for a number of slots. If it is idle, the node is chosen for transmission.
