Improving the Performance of Wireless LANs (eBook, ePUB)

A Practical Guide

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

While there are countless books on wireless networks, few actually quantify the key performance-limiting factors of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and describe various methods for improving WLAN performance. Fulfilling these needs, Improving the Performance of Wireless LANs: A Practical Guide provides both theoretical background and empirical
