IEEE 802.11 is a set of media access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) specifications for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6, 5, and 60 GHz frequency bands. The goal of 802.11 is to provide simple, robust, and affordable wireless connectivity along with time-bound and asynchronous services. It uses either spread spectrum or infrared signaling techniques. The standard defines the MAC sublayer and three physical layer types: infrared, frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS), and direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS). It supports infrastructure-based and ad-hoc network configurations.
The document provides an overview of IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless local area networks.

This document analyzes the performance of 802.11 wireless LANs. It summarizes methods for calculating throughput and delay. Throughput is determined by the conditional collision probability, which depends on the number of contending nodes. Delay is modeled using a generalized state transition diagram and Mason's formula to determine MAC layer service time as a function of the number of saturated nodes. The analysis considers both non-saturated and saturated network conditions to understand optimal and maximum throughput.
This document summarizes key aspects of the 802.11 wireless networking standard. It describes the two main types of wireless service sets - a basic service set (BSS) which connects a single wireless station to an access point, and an independent basic service set (IBSS) which connects multiple stations without an access point. It also mentions that 802.11 uses standards from 802.11a to 802.11g and that an extended service set (ESS) acts as a backbone distribution system to support a fixed infrastructure.
