RATE ADAPTATION IN IEEE WIRELESS NETWORKS: A REVIEW

The Rate adaptation is the process which is very popular in our life and it plays a vital role in our day to day life. We all are dealing with rate adaptation directly or indirectly knowingly or unknowingly, whether you are posting a message on facebook or you are commenting on any one post, whether you are sending smiles on whatapps or replying, whether you know or don't now but at all these times you are dealing with rate adaptation. So in this way you may understand the importanceof rate adaptation in our day to day life. These are the uses of rate adaptation in our daily life. Rate adaptation is nota new research area in wireless networks so the review has been limited to the IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. The IEEE has given many transmission standards for the transmission of data and time to time has updated these standards. In the 1999, the IEEE has updated the standard of the IEEE 802.11 which is one of the most popular data transmission standards. The IEEE standard 802.11b provides the low cost solutions of wireless network problem.
