Wireless LAN - Since 1985

The research program in wireless LAN at CWINS was established by Professor Kaveh Pahlavan in 1985 as the first research program of this sort in the United States. In 1986, the program was awarded the first NSF grant in modern wireless communications to start pioneering work on channel modeling, transmission and multiple access methods for wireless indoor networks.
