An IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN (wireless local area network) operates within the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It divides the 2.4 GHz into 11 or 13 channels using Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), and uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) to avoid packet collision. Both CSMA/CA with ACK and CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS are supported.
