Abstract

HiperLAN/2 is an upcoming standard, which is being specified by the ETSI/BRAN project. High Performance Radio Local Area Network type 2 (HiperLAN/2) is one of the wireless broadband access networks, shall provide high-speed communications of up to 54 Mbps between mobile terminals and various broadband infrastructure networks. This paper presents an overview of the H/2 standard together with simulated physical layer performance results for each of the transmission mode define in the standard for channel A, C and E as these channels are the most common environments where H/2 will be deployed. Furthermore, the effect on system´s throughput as the number of users and number of connections per user increases are also investigated. At the end, some comparison are made between HiperLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11(a) standards as they are two competing systems.
