Wireless Networks

Wireless Networks communication brings fundamental changes to data networking and telecommunications, and makes integrated networks a reality. Wireless Networks focused on networking and user aspects. Wireless Networks architecture for personal communications systems, wireless LANs, radio, tactical and other Wireless Networks, and design and analysis of protocols are addressed on a regular basis.

A Wireless Networks allow a user to access network resources, including the Web and e-mail, without requiring the user's computer to be physically connected to a network wall jack. The Wireless Networks signal is broadcast from an access point, which is hardwired to the network, and properly configured computers detect that signal and establish the network connection.

Radiation Fields in Wireless Networks:

There are three traditional radiation fields in free space as a result of an antenna radiating power.

• Near-field, also called the reactive near-field region, is the region that is closest to the transmitting antenna and for which the reactive field dominates over the radiative fields.
• Fresnel zone, also called the radiating near-field, is that region between the reactive near-field and the far-field regions and is the region in which the radiation fields dominate and where the angular field distribution depends on distance from the transmitting antenna.
• Far-field, or Rayleigh distance, is the region where the radiation pattern is independent of distance from the transmitting antenna.

The Wireless Networks can provide connection speeds up to 11 Mbs (megabits per second), similar to dormitory connections. However, the signal broadcast by the access point is a shared resource, and the number of users connected to an access point at any given time can affect the available bandwidth.

Similarly, the distance from the access point to the user's wireless card antenna, as well as intervening obstacles (walls, metal objects, etc.), will determine the signal strength and thus whether service is available and at what rate. Generally in Wireless Networks the wireless data rate (speed) decreases with signal strength. At this time users are limited to one Wireless Networks connection and must register their wireless cards with the service provider before they will be allowed to use the service. The Wireless Networks are shared resources, meaning the connection speed experienced by each user depends on how many, and in what manner, clients are using a given access point. Do not engage in any activities that may compromise the level of service available to other members.
