Abstract Wireless local area networks (WLANs) designed as wireless ATM systems to extend the services of fixed ATM networks to mobile users appear best suited to provide a guaranteed quality of service (QoS) for wireless IP networks. HiperLAN/2 is an ETSI/BRAN standard providing convergence layers for both IP and ATM classes of service. Besides a description of HiperLAN/2 and its Home Environment Extension, the performance for IP traffic flows is presented from analysis and from simulating a prototype implementation. Co-existence with the IEEE 802.11a WLAN is discussed and the ability of HiperLAN/2 to guarantee QoS even when co-existing is analyzed and two possible extensions of the system are being introduced and their performance evaluated, namely adaptive antennas and wireless base stations.
