The KS X ISO/IEC 8802-11-2007 (2023) standard, published by the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS), is a comprehensive technical specification that outlines specific requirements for wireless local area networks (WLANs). This document focuses on defining the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer and Physical Layer (PHY) specifications which are crucial for interoperability among different WLAN systems. The standard ensures compliance with ISO/IEC standards, thereby facilitating global compatibility in wireless networking technologies.
The MAC sublayer of this specification provides rules for addressing, frame format, error detection, access control to the shared medium, and flow control mechanisms, ensuring efficient data transmission within a network. Additionally, it specifies how devices can communicate with each other over various distances and environments.
On the PHY layer side, the standard details signal types, modulation techniques, and frequency bands applicable for WLAN operations. This ensures robustness in transmitting signals across different geographical locations while adhering to regulatory constraints imposed by national authorities like KATS.
This revision of KS X ISO/IEC 8802-11 updates previous iterations with enhancements aimed at improving performance, security, and energy efficiency within wireless networks. It is an essential reference for manufacturers designing WLAN equipment as well as network administrators looking to implement or upgrade existing infrastructure.
