Abstract
1 Currently two projects are on their way to standardize physical layer and medium access control for wireless LANs - IEEE 802.11 and ETSI RES10 Hiperlan. This paper presents an introduction to both projects focussing on the applied access schemes. Fyrther we will present our simulation results, analyzing the performance of both access protocols depending on the number of stations and on the packet size, evaluating them regarding their capability to support QoS parameters, regarding the impact of hidden terminals and their range extension strategy. 1 Introduction Wireless LANs (WLANs) are expected to be a major growth factor for the network industry in the upcoming years. They will be used as an extension of the wired network with a wireless last link to attach the large number of mobile terminals. Currently only proprietary solutions are available mostly operating in the license-free 900 MHz or 2.4GHz frequency bands. In order to enable multivendor interoperability and thus avoiding...
