WLAN new technologies in IEEE 802.11

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology has evolved very quickly in recent years. This paper introduces several new trends in the development of WLAN technology. Activities and progress in the standardization organization of WLAN, e.g. IEEE 802.11, are introduced. Next generation WLAN technology, a key enabling technology to make WLAN easy to use, together with low power and extended radio coverage are analyzed in this paper.
