Introduction to Wireless Local Area Network
Among the numerous technologies in the field of Network Communication, wireless
communication is rapidly evolving and empowering people and organizations. Organizations are
able to share data wirelessly. Data transmission and conveyance are done wireless (Bi, Zeng and
Zhang, 2016 p. 6). This technology helps a lot in limiting or thoroughly dodging the expenses of
introducing, state, links and even lessens the space that is required for that specific system. Radio
communication is generally utilized in the implementation of wireless network and
communication. Communication is made effective through electromagnetic signals. Whenever
any two intermediate devices are communicating, the receiving device captures these
electromagnetic signals henceforth making wireless communication effective. The various
technology and structures used in the wireless network and wireless communication are
Bluetooth communication, mobile communication, infrared communication, wireless network
communication, and satellite communication. All these technologies don't have any physical
association between their gadgets. There are likewise various sorts of wireless networks. They
include the wireless ad hoc network, Wireless MAN, WAN, PAN, LAN, cellular networks,
global area network, and even the space network among others. Wireless LAN is the kind of
network that permits network-enabled devices to carry out communications wireless (Lee,
SOHN and Seok, 2018 p. 89).
Introduction to Integration of Wireless LAN and 3G Wireless
The two research papers that will be examined are the Integration of Wireless LAN and 3G
Wireless and IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network. Both these papers have various
structures whereby there are regions that will be examined and draw out a similar idea and there

are those that won't discuss similar concepts. The Integration of Wireless LAN and 3G Wireless
journal is about the WLAN and 3G wireless technologies combined together to help in accessing
the internet at any given time and as a result, it benefits all the parties involved. It likewise
discusses internetworking architecture which is intended to offer abilities of administrations that
have been incorporated. These capabilities are intended to spread crosswise over 802.11-based
networks and the 3G CDMA2000-based systems. The journal likewise discusses two integration
designs namely loosely-coupled design and tightly-coupled design. It goes further to display how
inexactly coordinated networks are executed. Here, the Mobile-IP and the Simple-IP meandering
services; and WLAN mix portal is examined in subtleties. In this diary, we become acquainted
with about the radio inclusion that covers and utilized by the cell phone.
IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network
The second paper which is the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network is about IEEE 802.11
protocol. It focuses much on the Media Access Control Sublayer the outcomes from a
presentation which depends on data that has been packetized and the cooperating of data packets
and voice over the Wireless Local Area Network. This paper uncovers that by the utilization of
point coordination capacities, traffic might be conveyed with time limitation by the IEEE 802.11
networks. Afterward, it educates and proposes that data that has been packetized be overseen
utilizing a reverberation canceler. The other work discussed in this paper challenges that are
faced by the wireless network clients that are not faced by their partner, the wired network; there
are recreation models examined in detail through its sorts which are the ad hoc model and
infrastructure, Network model.
Methodologies employed in the two papers

The methodology utilized in any research paper or journal may contrast with each other relying
upon the motivation behind the examination. Approach ordinarily manages the hypothetical view
and the general research rationale (Kumar, 2019 p.31). The methodology that has been connected
in the Integration of Wireless LAN and 3G Wireless paper is quantitative methodology. With
this procedure the exploration is objective and speculation is typically created after which it is
tested by means which implies that they are organized. Similarly, the Integration of Wireless
LAN and 3G Wireless paper applies a similar technique. At the introductory part of the paper,
we are told about the rise of the innovation and the staggering development it has experienced. A
review of the Wi-Fi and the 3G advancements have been raised through the assembled insights
and logical certainties. Down to the foundation data about the CCMA200 and WLAN, we have
been given a review of actualities on the innovation and not only an investigation of the
equivalent. On the WLAN outline, insights have it that two operational methods of WLAN
which are the ad hoc and the infrastructure modes of architecture. In this way, this methodology
is an efficient one whereby a specific reasonable truth yields another privilege from the
introduction to the conclusion of the paper.
A similar approach, quantitative methodology applies to the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area
Network paper where the research has been given its most noteworthy unwavering quality. Here,
there is a reasonable inquiry of research to which the appropriate response is sought (McCusker
and Gunaydin, 2015 p.540). In this paper, the methodology has been brought out so plainly
directly from the presentation where we have the Wireless LAN discussed about in subtleties, the
IEEE 802.11 draft portrayal down to the physical layers and the reenactment models and results,

it goes down to network infrastructure and inevitably the conclusion which abridges the entire
idea of the paper. For the most part, the methodology that has been utilized in the two paper have
a similar methodology exuding from a particular point of discourse.
Comparison between the results reported the two papers
To compare the two research papers, it is seen that the first research paper, Integration of
Wireless LAN and 3G Wireless puts its emphasis on the usage of a WLAN internetworking
architecture through the other paper (IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network) predominantly
discusses the task of the PCF and DCF over the equivalent CFP and furthermore about the voice
station. The Integration of Wireless LAN and 3G Wireless paper, for the most part, focuses on
the internetworking architecture of Wireless Local Area Network whereby the structure design
option for a system that is coordinated have been laid; after which a detailed approach of the
implementation of the 3G CDMA2000-based and the WLAN models. One of the aims of this
paper is to have the option to clarify the decisions of architecture, those are, the tightly-coupled
internetworking and the loosely-coupled internetworking. Obviously, the loosely-coupled
approach has a few preferences over its partner the tightly-coupled approach. This paper has
demonstrated past a sensible uncertainty that the loosely coupled requires WLAN portal of
incorporation.
On the other hand, the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network paper came about to an
examination that is wide of both the Point Coordination Function and the Distributed
Coordination Function and their method of activity over the CFP that is basic to both of them.

Something else that has come about from this paper is the scheme of voice station drop from
CFP at whatever point they are inert for a given measure of time.
The beneficial thing about the Integration of Wireless LAN and 3G Wireless paper is that it
draws out the idea of Integration of WLAN/CDMA2000 services which have been anticipated to
be of great benefit to both the user and the prospective service providers. There is likewise the
loosely coupled architecture which has a decent scope of focal points, for example, cost-
adequacy since the 3G network can undoubtedly profit by other specialist organizations without
bringing about ventures of so much capital, (Kim & Jo, 2015 p.615). This architecture likewise
gives traffic engineering and allows autonomous deployment. This journal has illuminated us on
the WLAN and 3G technology that may hopefully nurture the deployment of the integrated
service and to boost the wireless data of high speed.
Advantages and disadvantages of the papers
The benefit of the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network paper is that it illuminates the
general population on the diverse reproduction performed on packetized data. Through the PCF,
bundle voice which is a constant service can be transmitted anyway this accompanies a weakness
which says that reverberation canceler must be utilized by the packet voice system. This is, for
the most part, a result of the postponements starting with one end then onto the next can't be
obliged beneath 25 microseconds. Another detriment on the paper is that there is bargaining of
execution for voice and data traffic must be acknowledged when the payload length of the voice
is approximated to a length of 200 octets. Another preferred standpoint of this paper is that it has

graphically exhibited the hypothetical piece of reproduction results making it simpler for any
individual to comprehend the idea in the subject well and without challenges.
Future-directions for the improvement of the two papers.
My future directions on these two papers are that both of them ought to enhance their technique.
A blended approach is the best one to use since it comprises of both the subjective technique and
the quantitative procedure. Through this, a full and much nifty gritty research will be directed.
The blended methodology will add to numerous dimension examination and a much extensive
view on WLAN, and furthermore allowing the integration of various hypothetical realities.
Another gainful bearing that the two research papers should take is to fuse the rising subject on
5G systems. The fifth era organize is said to be the future of networks which will be operational
at a higher frequency bandwidth of any spectrum that is considered wireless (Ma et al., 2015
p.14). In this way, the 5G organize should be integrated into the WLAN network. There is
additionally the Virtualization, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined
Networking (SDN). This ought to be a piece of the paper to demonstrate to us a superior method
to structure our network systems. The slanting cybersecurity likewise also has to be part of these
research papers. This will principally address the issue of cybercrimes on our network. With this
on the papers, we won't just be educated about its reality yet, in addition, the relief and
preventive measure in order to have the option to verify our wireless local area network.

Enormous data and intellectual systems should be fused into the research paper. The subjective
network should be examined since it can comprehend current states, settle on proper choices and
furthermore gain from those very choices. Cognitive Network can do more than any usual cross-
layer architecture. Big data is that field that deals with too big data sets using data processing
software (Huang, Tan & Liang, 2017 p.25). It captures data, stores, examinations, refreshing,
imagining, data protection and data exchange. With every one of these advances in the two
research papers, increasingly itemized data about the Wireless LAN will be conveyed on to the
general population.
Conclusion
It is clear that the Wireless Local Area Network gives out the exceptionally high-speed flow of
packets. IN IEEE 802.11 venture the speed at its most minimal is 1 Megapixel every second. The
wireless LANs can be put to use in a littler topographical resemble only a room. This is
principally on the grounds that their scope of transmission is little and their versatility is
additionally restricted. In any case, there is the arrangement of colossal execution of these
wireless communication between network empowered devices and passageway or just between
the gadgets that are included. From the two papers discussed above, it is clear that wireless
communications are carried out through the radio waves and not via wired connections. Devices
communicate with each other freely through Wi-Fi. The wireless LAN technology has been
demonstrated financially savvy with regards to the establishment since it doesn't require an
excess physically infrastructure such as cabling space. Although there is this one drawback that
it has, which is being less secure than its counterpart, the wired networks. This has really raised a
caution to numerous to utilize the preventive measures for this drifting risk of cybercrimes.
