INTRODUCTION
The report below gives an explanation of effects of LANS and PANS on wireless
communication and networking. To begin with, a computer network refers to the digital
telecommunication network that enables sharing of resources by the nodes. In computer
networks, data is then exchanged to the different computing devices through the use of data
links. The links are created using various media cable which include optic cables or wires.
The different equipment used in setting up LAN and PAN Include: Switches, Hubs, Routers
and Nano stations.
Paper 1: Congestion Control in Wireless Communication Network Using
Fuzzy Logic and Machine Learning Techniques
According to research paper one; LAN is a computer network used to link devices which are
in a certain building or adjacent buildings, often the ones with a radius of less than one
kilometre whereas Personal Area Network is a computer network that is used for devices
interconnection in a specific workspace. It involves transmission of data between devices like
tablets, personal computers and smartphones1.
METHODOLOGIES USED.
The methodologies used included:
i. Interviewing.
The researcher interviewed the employees of the company setting up the local area network
and noticed that before setting up materials, a land survey of the area needed to be done to
ensure that the wireless connection from the sender [access point] to the receiver[destination]
is not interrupted.
The land surveys consisted of metrological surveys to determine the forces of nature in the
area. Among them were, the strength of the wind and rain patterns. On the other hand, land
forms available in the area e g, mountains, hills were to be carefully checked so they would
not interrupt the connection among others.
