Overview and performance of HIPERLAN type 2-a standard for broadband wireless communications

At present, standards for broadband wireless multimedia communications in the 5 GHz band are being developed in Europe as well as in the US and Japan. HIPERLAN type 2 (H/2) is being specified by the ETSI BRAN (Broadband Radio Access Networks) project; the core parts of the specification were finalised at the end of 1999. Almost total harmonisation has been achieved between the standardization bodies in Europe and Japan, ETSI and ARIB, respectively. An overview of the H/2 standard is presented together with exemplary link and system performance results.
