Abstract
In the last few years, the development of wireless local area networks (WLANs) has become a major goal in the field of computer and wireless communications. The Network Technologies Research group at the Communications Research Center in Canada has been working on a project to develop a high speed outdoor WLAN. In contrast to many existing WLANs, the new WLAN supports multimedia traffic such as voice, data and video; and will be used mainly in an outdoor environment with a cell coverage range of approximately 20 km. In this paper the physical layer design alternatives for the outdoor WLAN with a speed of 10 to 20 Mbps are described. Simulation results for some of the techniques considered to be used for the WLAN system are presented. The study is concluded by proposing two possible systems that one may consider for the implementation of a high speed outdoor WLAN. Although this study was primarily focused on WLAN applications, the results presented in this paper are applicable to several high speed wireless networks.
