IEEE 802.11d-2001 is a wireless network regulation that ensures international compatibility of wireless local area networks (WLANs) in different countries.
This regulation was developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to address the issue of varying frequency bands used in different regions.
The main objective of IEEE 802.11d-2001 is to provide a standardized method for WLANs to operate within the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands used in different countries.
IEEE 802.11d-2001 specifies the use of dynamic frequency hopping (DFH) and frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) techniques to minimize interference and ensure reliable communication.
