Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of wireless local-area networks (LANs) and wireless personal area networks (PANS), with emphasis on the two most popular standards: IEEE 802.11, and Bluetooth. While there are many such surveys in the current literature and online, we attempt here to present wireless LANs and PANS in a unified fashion as a viable alternative to wired LANs, while stressing the remaining challenges and limitations
