1 Introduction

The advantages of a radio network (Wireless LAN) are obvious: notebooks and
PCs can be set up where they are needed. Due to Wireless LANs, problems
with missing connections or structural alterations belong to the past.
Network access in conferences or during presentations, access to resources in
neighbouring buildings or data exchange with portable terminals are only
some possible applications of Wireless LANs.
