Preface

This document contains links to a series of laboratory projects for my students who are enrolled in ITNW 1351, Fundamentals of Wireless LANs.

The projects were designed under the assumption that students enrolled in the course have successfully completed the prerequisite course, ITNW 1325, Fundamentals of Networking Technologies.

The project designs also assume that the students are actively studying the material in the prescribed textbook for this course, which explains such complex topics as the IEEE 802.11g wireless specification.

This index is a work in progress, which will continue to be developed as the semester progresses.

About the author

Richard Baldwin is a college professor (at Austin Community College in Austin, TX) and private consultant whose primary focus is a combination of Java, C#, and XML. In addition to the many platform and/or language independent benefits of Java and C# applications, he believes that a combination of Java, C#, and XML will become the primary driving force in the delivery of structured information on the Web.

Richard has participated in numerous consulting projects and he frequently provides onsite training at the high-tech companies located in and around Austin, Texas. He is the author of Baldwin's Programming Tutorials, which have gained a worldwide following among experienced and aspiring programmers. He has also published articles in JavaPro magazine.

In addition to his programming expertise, Richard has many years of practical experience in Digital Signal Processing (DSP). His first job after he earned his Bachelor's degree was doing DSP in the Seismic Research Department of Texas Instruments. (TI is still a world leader in DSP.) In the following years, he applied his programming and DSP expertise to other interesting areas including sonar and underwater acoustics.

Richard holds an MSEE degree from Southern Methodist University and has many years of experience in the application of computer technology to real-world problems.
