Comparative Analysis of Computer Network Protocols in Wireless Communication Technology

Sunny Orike; Tamuno-omie Joy Alalibo

This paper aims to compare and analyse the various computer network protocols associated with wireless communication technology. The following wireless communication technologies were investigated and compared: wireless personal area network (WPAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) and wireless wide area network (WWAN). The comparison was based on the latest networking standards in terms of their frequency of operation, bandwidth, optimal operating ranges, modulation schemes, channel architecture, maximum data rate, maximum transmit power and other points of interest. Results of the comparison were tabulated and appropriate recommendations made.
