Wireless Networks: Categories of Wireless Networks: System Interconnection Wireless Lans Wireless Wans

Wireless networks can be categorized as either system interconnection networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs), or wireless wide area networks (WANs). Wireless LANs can operate via a base station or in an ad hoc mode without infrastructure. They may use multiple cells/access points to extend the range beyond a single radio. Home networks can connect computers, entertainment devices, telecommunications equipment, appliances, and telemetry devices for easy installation, foolproof operation, low cost, sufficient capacity for multimedia, and gradual expansion. Network layers, protocols, and interfaces are used to provide virtual communication between endpoints.

Wireless Networks

Categories of wireless networks:


• System interconnection
• Wireless LANs
• Wireless WANs

2.2 Home Networks

Many devices are capable of being networked. Some of the more


obvious categories (with examples) are as follows:
.Computers (desktop PC, notebook PC, PDA, shared peripherals) .1
.Entertainment (TV, DVD, VCR, camcorder, camera, stereo, MP3) .2
.Telecommunications (telephone, mobile telephone, intercom, fax) .3
.Appliances (microwave, refrigerator, clock, furnace, air co, lights) .4
.Telemetry (utility meter, smoke/burglar alarm, thermostat, baby cam) .5
Home networking has some fundamentally different properties than other
network types.
. First, the network and devices have to be easy to install.
. Second, the network and devices have to be foolproof in operation
. Third, low price is essential for success.
. Fourth, the main application is likely to involve multimedia, so the network
needs sufficient capacity.
. Fifth, it must be possible to start out with one or two devices and expand
the reach of the network gradually.
. Sixth, security and reliability will be very important
