Ieee 802

The document lists the various IEEE 802.11 standards and task groups related to wireless networking. It includes the original 802.11 standard from 1999 supporting 1-2 Mbps transmission, as well as subsequent standards adding 5 GHz support (802.11a), higher speeds up to 11 Mbps (802.11b), quality of service (802.11e), security enhancements (802.11i), mesh networking (802.11s), and others addressing areas such as international roaming and vehicular environments. Many additional task groups are also mentioned as being in early stages to address issues like wireless performance prediction, network management, and protected management frames.
