`
`IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Committees of the IEEE Societies and the
`Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Board. Members of the committees serve volun-
`tarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards developed
`within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as well as those
`activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in participating in the development of the standard.
`
`Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there
`are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to
`the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and
`issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments
`received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for
`revision or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is rea-
`sonable to conclude that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of
`the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
`
`Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership
`affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of
`text, together with appropriate supporting comments.
`
`Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they
`relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the
`Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of
`all concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of a
`balance of interests. For this reason IEEE and the members of its technical committees are not able to pro-
`vide an instant response to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously
`received formal consideration.
`
`Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

`
`Note: Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of sub-
`ject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to
`the existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. The IEEE shall not be responsible
`for identifying all patents for which a license may be required by an IEEE standard or for conducting
`inquiries into the legal validity or scope of those patents that are brought to its attention.
`The patent holder has, however, filed a statement of assurance that it will grant a license under these
`rights without compensation or under reasonable rates and nondiscriminatory, reasonable terms and
`conditions to all applicants desiring to obtain such a license. The IEEE makes no representation as to
`the reasonableness of rates and/or terms and conditions of the license agreement offered by the patent
`holder. Contact information may be obtained from the IEEE Standards Department.
`
`Authorization to photocopy portions of any individual standard for internal or personal use is granted by the
`Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., provided that the appropriate fee is paid to Copyright
`Clearance Center. To arrange for payment of licensing fee, please contact Copyright Clearance Center, Cus-
`tomer Service, 222 Rosewood Drive, Danvers, MA 01923 USA; (978) 750-8400. Permission to photocopy
`portions of any individual standard for educational classroom use can also be obtained through the Copy-
`right Clearance Center.

`
`This family of standards deals with the Physical and Data Link layers as defined by the International Organiza-
`tion for Standardization (ISO) Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-
`1: 1994). The access standards define seven types of medium access technologies and associated physical
`media, each appropriate for particular applications or system objectives. Other types are under investigation.
`
`The standards defining the access technologies are as follows:
`
`•
`
`IEEE Std 802
`
`Overview and Architecture. This standard provides an overview to the family
`
`
`of IEEE 802 Standards.
`
`• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1B
`and 802.1k
`[ISO/IEC 15802-2]
`
`LAN/MAN Management. Defines an OSI management-compatible architec-
`
`ture, and services and protocol elements for use in a LAN/MAN environment
`for performing remote management.
`
`• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1D
`[ISO/IEC 15802-3]
`
`Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges. Specifies an architecture and protocol
`
`
`
`for the interconnection of IEEE 802 LANs below the MAC service boundary.
`
`• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1E
`[ISO/IEC 15802-4]
`
`System Load Protocol. Specifies a set of services and protocol for those
`
`aspects of management concerned with the loading of systems on IEEE 802
`LANs.
`
`•
`
`IEEE Std 802.1F
`
`Common Definitions and Procedures for IEEE 802 Management Information
`
`• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1G
`[ISO/IEC 15802-5]
`
`Remote Media Access Control (MAC) Bridging. Specifies extensions for the
`
`
`
`interconnection, using non-LAN communication technologies, of geographi-
`cally separated IEEE 802 LANs below the level of the logical link control
`protocol.
`
`• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.2

`In addition to the family of standards, the following is a recommended practice for a common Physical
`Layer technology:
`
`•
`
`IEEE Std 802.7
`
`IEEE Recommended Practice for Broadband Local Area Networks
`
`The following additional working group has authorized standards projects under development:
`
` • IEEE 802.14
`
`Standard Protocol for Cable-TV Based Broadband Communication Network
`
`Conformance test methodology
`
`An additional standards series, identified by the number 1802, has been established to identify the
`conformance test methodology documents for the 802 family of standards. Thus the conformance test
`documents for 802.3 are numbered 1802.3.
`
`ANSI/IEEE Std 802.11, 1999 Edition [ISO/IEC 8802-11: 1999]
`
`This standard is a revision of IEEE Std 802.11-1997. The Management Information Base according to OSI
`rules has been removed, many redundant management items have been removed, and Annex D has been
`completed with the Management Information Base according to SNMP. Minor changes have been made
`throughout the document.
`
`This standard defines the protocol and compatible interconnection of data communication equipment via the
`“air”, radio or infrared, in a local area network (LAN) using the carrier sense multiple access protocol with
`collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) medium sharing mechanism. The medium access control (MAC) supports
`operation under control of an access point as well as between independent stations. The protocol includes
`authentication, association, and reassociation services, an optional encryption/decryption procedure, power
`management to reduce power consumption in mobile stations, and a point coordination function for time-
`bounded transfer of data. The standard includes the definition of the management information base (MIB)
`using Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) and specifies the MAC protocol in a formal way, using the Speci-

`
`The infrared implementation of the PHY supports 1 Mbit/s data rate with an optional 2 Mbit/s extension.
`The radio implementations of the PHY specify either a frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
`supporting 1 Mbit/s and an optional 2 Mbit/s data rate or a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS)
`supporting both 1 and 2 Mbit/s data rates.

`This standard contains state-of-the-art material. The area covered by this standard is undergoing evolution.
