Data Link Layer

IEEE 802.11 is a set of media access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) specifications for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6, 5, and 60 GHz frequency bands. They are created and maintained by the IEEE LAN/ MAN Standards Committee ( IEEE 802).

Wireless Protocols are a combination of Physical and Media Access Control (Data Link) Standards.
