(3) Wireless Ethernet
A wireless LAN uses radio waves or infrared rays as the transmission medium. It is used, for
instance, to connect a mobile device to a LAN. Wireless LAN is being standardized by the
IEEE Wireless LAN Working Group (IEEE 802.11). For the interconnection between a
wireless LAN and an Ethernet network, the use of a bridge is required because they differ in
MAC layer protocol.
