Indoor Wireless Networks: An Exploration of Some of the Engineering Issues Involved( PostScript version, PDF version)
Marie Conte
University of Delaware, Newark, DE, May 1995.

In this document we explore some of the unique idiosyncrasies of the physical layer and MAC sublayer when implemented in a indoor wireless network. Also investigated is the current IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Specification draft. This draft is used primarily for examples of possible solutions to some of the identified problems associated with wireless networks. Key differences between the operation of a wired network and a wireless network are examined. The intent of this document is to leave the reader with an understanding of some of the obstacles that exist when engineering a wireless network and how these obstacles can be surmounted.
