Improving the Performance of Wireless LANs: A Practical Guide

While there are numerous books on wireless networks, very few actually quantify the key performance-limiting factors of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and describe the methods for improving WLAN performance. Fulfilling these needs, this book provides strategies and guidelines for improving WLAN performance. It includes the theoretical background and empirical results for the design and deployment of indoor WLAN systems. The author also identifies key factors influencing WLAN performance, covers various methods for improving WLAN performance, and offers guidelines for optimum system design and deployment.
