Wireless ethernet for IoT: A case study

Abstract

Wireless Ethernet is one of the most important wireless technology that enhances our personal environment, either work or private, by means of networking or a variety of personal and wearable devices within the space and with the outside world. It refers to a link layer protocol in the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) stack, describing how networked devices can format data for transmission to other network devices on the same network segment, and how to put that data out on the network connection. This paper represents an overall view of the wireless Ethernet features, advantages, applications and integration of mobile communication. It initially assumed a shared medium: multiple devices on each segment of the network, connected daisy chain at first but later in star topology via Ethernet hubs(which replicated all traffic received on any port to every other port).
