Abstract

This paper presents a system design technique for the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) considering the significant parameters namely coverage, cell/frequency planning, interference, power management and data rate. The effect of the parameters on the performance of IEEE 802.11 in terms of throughput has been discussed using measurement and numerical results.These results and concepts are extremely important not only for the system design and deployment of IEEE 802.11 WLANs but also for other indoor wireless communications systems.
