With the increasing popularity of wireless local area network(WLAN),the demand for multimedia services encompassing VoIP, multimedia streaming and interactive gaming is increasing rapidly. The real-time services require stringent Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for effective communication. While a lot of research has dealt with providing QoS support for real-time services in traditional wired networks, the shared and broadcast nature of the wireless medium necessitates the design of new solutions for wireless networks. In wireless networks, unlike wired networks, the communication from one node will consume  the bandwidth of the neighboring nodes and hence the  shared  bandwidth  can  be easily over-utilized. Therefore, to  provide  an  acceptable  level  of  QoS  for  the  real-time  services, it  is  necessary   to   control  the   utilization   of   the   shared  bandwidth. In this  paper , we  propose  an  efficient admission control scheme named Intra-flow contention scheme with CAC-OLSR routing protocol for WLAN networks which aims at  preserving  the  QoS  for  all  the  admitted  flows  by employing a low overhead  threshold  mechanism.  We  describe several  alternatives for the design of IAC and compare the performance of these alternatives using  simulation  results.

Wi-Fi, short for “wireless fidelity,” is a term for certain types of wireless local area network (WLAN) that use specifications in the 802.11 family. In general, the wireless technologies are used for the replacement or the expansion of the common wired networks. They possess all the functionality of wired LANs but without the physical constraints of the wire itself. The wireless nature inherently allows easy implementation of broadcast/multicast services. When used with portable computing devices (e.g., notebook computers), wireless LANs are also known as cordless LANs because this term emphasizes the elimination of both power cord and network cable (Tanenbaum, 2003).

This article discusses the stages of development, characteristics of a wireless local area network Wi-Fi, options for its topology and equipment used. Currently, there are such different types of wireless networks as Wireless Wide Area Network, Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (Wireless Neighborhood Area Network), Wireless Local Area Network, Wireless Personal Area Network. Each of the listed wireless networks has its own specific range and application. Wireless LAN Wi-Fi refers to the Wireless Local Area Network. The first wireless LAN standard, Wi-Fi, was approved in 1997. From the moment of their appearance to the present day, the following standards of this network have appeared: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ad, 802.11ax. For each standard, the speeds and frequency ranges at which the data transmission was carried out are indicated, and the technologies on which they are built are described. Wireless LAN Wi-Fi has three topologies: 1) Ad-Hoc (point-to-point) or Independent Basic Service Set; 2) Basic Service Set (“client / server”) and 3) Extended Service Set (“extended service areas”). To build a Wi-Fi network, network adapters, access points, routers, ADSL modems, Wi-Fi phones, Wi-Fi antennas, Wi-Fi repeaters are used. Wi-Fi adapters are used by devices that do not have a built-in Wi-Fi module. Wi-Fi access points are designed for organizing wireless access within a local network. Wi-Fi routers are designed to route traffic on a computer network. ADSL modems are used to access the Internet over a telephone line. Wi-Fi repeaters are used to expand the coverage of a wireless network using already installed equipment. Wi-Fi phones are wireless IP phones. Wi-Fi antennas are used to extend the range of a wireless network.

In this paper, we realize a real-time communication based on wireless local area network (WIFI) and controller area network (CAN) bus and develop a distributed control system for an automated guided vehicle (AGV). The system consists of two levels: (1) communication between AGVs and main computer based on WIFI, (2) communicationg between control units of AGV based on CAN bus. A real-time operating system μC/OS-II was used to control time, which significantly reduces the time for program and improves development efficiency. Finally, a small-size distributed AGV controller is developed as the main control unit of AGV and a distributed I/O system is developed based on it.

This study establishes a comprehensive management information system (MIS) by using not only the real-time characteristics of wireless local area network (WLAN) technology for data reading and writing, but also the convenient data input/output provided by PDA's. This system is then applied in equipment management in higher education organizations, and a centralized center is used to manage the equipment of numerous departments. This wireless equipment management system, which was established to access data instantly, increases system performance in providing real-time service. Furthermore, the integration of bar code facility and real-time equipment management function via web-based technology for managing department equipment solves accuracy problems during the data gathering process. This system increases equipment management efficiency and reduces manpower costs.

Audio delivery and reproduction for home or professional applications may greatly benefit from the adoption of digital wireless local area network (WLAN) technologies. The most challenging aspect of such integration relates the synchronized and robust real-time streaming of multiple audio channels to multipoint receivers, for example, wireless active speakers. Here, it is shown that current WLAN solutions are susceptible to transmission errors. A detailed study of the IEEE802.11e protocol (currently under ratification) is also presented and all relevant distortions are assessed via an analytical and experimental methodology. A novel synchronization scheme is also introduced, allowing optimized playback for multiple receivers. The perceptual audio performance is assessed for both stereo and 5-channel applications based on either PCM or compressed audio signals.

<p><em>Mobility management is one of the most important challenges in Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWNs) as it enables users to move across geographic boundaries of wireless networks. Nowadays, mobile communications have heterogeneous wireless networks offering variable coverage and Quality of Service (QoS). The availability of alternatives generates a problem of occurrence of unnecessary handoff that results in wastage of network resources. To avoid this, an efficient algorithm needs to be developed to minimize the unnecessary handoffs. Conventionally, whenever  Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) connectivity is available, the mobile node switch from cellular network to wireless local area network  to gain maximum use of high bandwidth and low cost of wireless local area network as much as possible. But to maintain call quality and minimum number of call failure, a considerable proportion of these handovers should be determined. Our algorithm makes the handoff to wireless local area network only when the Predicted Received Signal Strength (PRSS) falls below a threshold value and travelling distance inside the wireless local area network is larger than a threshold distance.Through MATLAB simulation, we show that our algorithm is able to improve handover performance.<strong> </strong></em></p>

The nature of wireless is that of a physically open medium which makes authentication, access control, and confidentiality necessary in the implementation of a wireless LAN. There are three primary categories of networks: wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless metropolitan-area network (WMAN), and wireless personal area network (WPAN). The security for each of these types of wireless networks is discussed in this chapter.
