"The material in this book is timely indeed, and represents the latest word on wireless LAN technology. This book presents the case for why the technology has emerged, how it works, what are the issues, and where it is going. It presents the thinking of a collection of experts in each of many individual areas, and so comes across as a detailed presentation covering all aspects of wireless LANs from the underlying technology all the way to the business case for deployment."
-- Dr. Leonard Kleinrock, Professor of Computer Science, UCLA, and Chairman, Nomadix Inc.
Dr. Kleinrock is widely considered as the Father of the Internet. He wrote this review for Wireless Local Area Networks: The New Wireless Revolution. This book was also reviewed by the IEEE Communications Magazine, ACM Networker, and IEEE Network.

"There are three key technologies that are important in the design of efficient digital communication networks --- communication channel theory, traffic analysis and transformation, and multiple access protocols. The first of these technologies, communication channel theory, dealing with questions of modulation, signal detection and error control coding is the oldest and best developed. Traffic analysis and transformation, dealing with questions of data compression, protocol spoofing and caching is perhaps the least developed although the first major results in this area are almost as old as those of communication channel theory.
The third of these key technologies, multiple access protocols, dealing with the sharing of a common communication channel by a group of users has assumed a greater importance during the past two decades with the advent of shared cellular networks, packet radio networks and satellite networks. The analysis and design of these multiple access protocols in a variety of application areas is the topic of this well organized, comprehensive yet compact book.
Bing defines the scope of the multiple access problem, describes many of the different approaches taken to solve the multiple access problem and analyzes the various approaches to their solution. Both fixed allocation strategies such as FDMA and TDMA as well as random access strategies based on a variety of ALOHA channels are treated. Since important differences in multiple access protocols define competing approaches in the network marketplace at the beginning of the third millennium this volume is well timed to help us evaluate different multiple access choices in network design."
-- Dr. Norman Abramson, ALOHA Networks
Dr. Abramson is the inventor of the ALOHA system, the precursor to Ethernet. He wrote this review for Broadband Wireless Access. Dr. Abramson passed away on December 1, 2020 in San Francisco. This book is dedicated to him.
“The IEEE 802.11 standard has been evolving continuously. With the recent approval of the 5 GHz physical layer that provides wireless data rates of 6 to 54 Mbps using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology, the standard is now more than capable of supporting streaming audio and video traffic needed for mobile multimedia Internet applications. When I started leading the IEEE 802.11 Working Group for Wireless LANs in September 1990, I felt the need to do more than just write a specification. I wanted to document the reasons behind the decisions the developers took, the alternatives considered, and why they were not selected. However, the work involved became unbearable for the group. Eventually, we abandoned the documentation part and concentrated on producing a specification that represents the efforts of completely independent engineers. I am glad Benny Bing managed to express the additional information so well, that it makes the material lively for users. I hope you will find the information in the book useful as much as I did.”
