wireless          A term describing a computer {network} where       there is no physical connection (either copper cable or {fibre       optics}) between sender and receiver, but instead they are       connected by radio.          Applications for wireless networks include multi-party       {teleconferencing}, distributed work sessions, {personal       digital assistant}s, and electronic newspapers.   They include       the transmission of voice, video, {image}s, and data, each       traffic type with possibly differing {bandwidth} and       quality-of-service requirements.   The wireless network       components of a complete source-destination path requires       consideration of mobility, {hand-off}, and varying       transmission and {bandwidth} conditions.   The wired/wireless       network combination provides a severe bandwidth mismatch, as       well as vastly different error conditions.   The processing       capability of fixed vs. mobile terminals may be expected to       differ significantly.   This then leads to such issues to be       addressed in this environment as {admission control},       {capacity assignment} and {hand-off} control in the wireless       domain, flow and error control over the complete end-to-end       path, dynamic bandwidth control to accommodate bandwidth       mismatch and/or varying processing capability.          {Usenet} newsgroup {news:comp.std.wireless}.          (1995-02-27)

wireless local area network          (WLAN /W-lan/, or "LAWN" /lorn/, sometimes       "WiLAN" /wi-lan/) A communication system that transmits and       receives data using modulated electromagnetic waves,       implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a       {wired} {LAN}.   WLANs are typically found within a small       {client} {node}-dense locale (e.g. a campus or office       building), or anywhere a traditional network cannot be       deployed for logistical reasons.          Benefits include user mobility in the coverage area, speed and       simplicity of physical setup, and {scalability}.   Being a       military spin-off, WLANs also provide security features such       as {encryption}, {frequency hopping}, and {firewalls}.   Some       of these are intrinsic to the {protocol}, making WLANs at       least as secure as wired networks, and usually more so.   The       drawbacks are high initial cost (mostly {hardware}), limited       range, possibility of mutual interference, amd the need to       security-enable clients.          The established protocols are covered by {IEEE 802.11       (http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/)}.   Recent developments       include the {Bluetooth} project and other WPAN, or {Personal       Area Network} initiatives, accessible through {IEEE 802.15       working group (http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/15/)}.          {Wireless Lan Association (http://www.wlana.org/)}.          {Usenet} newsgroups: {news:comp.dcom.lans.misc},       {news:comp.std.wireless}.          (2003-09-23)
