Recent developments in the IEEE 802.11 based wireless technology open an innovative scenario where
users can have ubiquitous access to network broadband services and to multimedia resources of their
interest. However, providing suitable solutions to ever growing users demands and expectations is a quite
challenging endeavor that requires both the availability of innovative networking solutions, and deep
understanding of market needs and trends. Based on long-standing industrial experience in the field, this
Tutorial will cover various state-of-the-art wireless technologies and will discuss market developments
and users' expectation changes over the last decade. In addition, the presentation will draw a research
agenda for the years to come, by keeping into account the emerging requirements for energy efficient
wireless solutions, the popularity increase of network-intensive mobile applications, along with the new
opportunities opened by wireless mesh technology allowing for self-healing and self-configuring easy
network deployments.
