Abstract :
Wireless local area networks (LANs) and personal communications services (PCS) represent the growth sectors of the communications network technology of the 1990s. While PCS will support primarily voice communications, wireless LANs will typically support data communications. The authors discuss wireless LAN technologies, including infrared and RF transmission. The potential use of wireless LAN technologies for multimedia communications (voice, data, and imagery) are presented. The research activities in this growing technology area are also described
