Abstract

Infrared technology is a suitable alternative for the support of indoor wireless local area networks (WLANs). When compared to radio technologies, infrared offers the potential for lower cost, higher security and better resilience to interference provoked by users from adjacent cells. This paper presents experimental results of an infrared transceiver for diffuse systems based on pulse position modulation. The implementation followed the upcoming IEEE 802.11 specification. This transceiver was developed within the ESPRIT.6892 POWER (Portable Workstation for Education in Europe) project
