Abstract

Two major standardization bodies, the IEEE in the US, and ETSI BRAN in Europe, have recently approved standards for broadband wireless multimedia communications in the 5 GHz band. The physical layers (PHYs) of the two standards, IEEE 802. 11a and ETSI BRAN Hiperlan/2, respectively, have largely been harmonized, while the medium access control (MAC) layers differ significantly. In this paper we give an overview of the physical layers of the two standards, and we present PHY performance simulation results for typical indoor environments.
