Abstract

The development of wireless local area networks (WLANs) has become a major goal in the field of computer and wireless communications. The Network Technologies Research group at the Communications Research Center in Canada has been working in a project to develop a high speed multimedia outdoor WLAN. In contrast to many existing WLANs, the new WLAN supports multimedia traffic and is intended to be mainly used in an outdoor environment with a coverage range of 20 to 30 km. One of the challenges of this project is the development of a medium access control (MAC) protocol that will enable the voice, video and data terminals to efficiently share the wireless channel. In this paper the MAC protocol adopted for this WLAN with a speed of 10 to 20 Mbps is presented.
