During the last few years, the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) has become a dominant technology for the (indoor) broadband wireless networking. Along with its success, there have been demands to enhance the performance of the 802.11. To meet such needs, the IEEE 802.11 Working Group (WG) has been developing new protocols to amend the existing protocols. In this paper, we overview the emerging protocols of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN for the medium access control (MAC) layers and above. These include 802.11e for quality-of-service (QoS), 802.11f for Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP), 802.11h for spectrum management at 5GHz, 802.11i for security enhancement, 802.11k for radio resource measurement, and finally 802.11m for higher throughput.
