The purpose of this project is to gather in-depth knowledge of the of the selected topic which is , “Wireless Technology”. The points that are covered in detail under this study project are, Wi-Fi 802.11, Mobile IP Infrastructure , Distributed Systems , Antenna Technology , Authentication and Encryption .
[1]IEEE 802.11 is an IEEE standard which is used in the implementation of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) in specific frequency bands. A Distributed system is a collection of autonomous computers which are connected through a network and share the system resources. The description also talks about the different antenna technologies used in the modern times eg. multiple input multiple output type. One of the main aspects of using Wireless LAN is the use of a particular network only for those devices and people that are authorized. The Authentication and encryption typed that are covered in this study project are Open system Authentication , Shared Authentication , Wired equivalent Privacy, WiFi protected Access ,etc. [2]The project also covers Mobile IP infrastructure. The IP based network access uses an internet standard , Mobile IP, to support macro-mobility of mobile hosts , and HAWAII to support micro-mobility and paging functionality of current wireless networks.
