Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks

Week 4 Discussion: Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks

Topic 1: Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks

A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is a personal area network for interconnecting devices centered around an individual’s workspace. A Wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) uses two kinds of wireless technologies, Bluetooth, Infrared Data Association (IrDA) and Zigbee. List the dIifferent WPAN standards and their applications and explain how each work

Learning Objectives Covered

List the different WPAN standards and their applications.
Explain how IrDA, Bluetooth, and ZigBee work.

You will:

List the different WPAN standards and their applications.
Explain how IrDA, Bluetooth, and ZigBee work.

Topic 2: High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks

High-rate wireless personal area networks (WPANs) operate in the 2.4 GHz band supporting data speeds ranging from 11 Mbps to 55 Mbps. The high-data rates provide wireless connectivity of multimedia-capable wireless devices. Describe the characteristics required by 802.15.3 applications.

Learning Objectives Covered

List the different HR WPAN standards and their applications

You will:

Describe the characteristics required of 802.15.3 applications.

Required:

Use of significant detail (utilizing textbook, web, etc. for sources) and appropriate grammar.
Also, remember to include (if applicable) supporting references.

For each Topic 1 and Topic 2 please have word count close to 550 for each topic if that makes sense.
