IEEE Std 802.11h™-2003 Part 11: Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) specificationsAmendment 5: Spectrum and transmit power management extensions
in the 5 GHz band in Europe -Description
Abstract: This amendment specifies the extensions to 802.11™ for wireless local area networks (WLANs) providing
mechanisms for dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and transmit power
control (TPC) that may be used to satisfy regulatory requirements
for operation in the 5 GHz band in Europe.
Keywords: dynamic frequency selection (DFS), local area network
(LAN), transmit power control (TPC)
