2. INTRODUCTION
• IEEE stands for Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers. It is the largest technical
professional association dedicated to advancing
innovation and technological excellence for the
benefit of humanity. It is designed to build industry
standards, serve professionals involved in every
aspect of electrical, electronic and computing field. It
also organizes conferences and provides a platform
for publications.
• IEEE focuses in following areas:
• Electrical Engineering
• Electronics & Communication Engineering
• Computer Engineering
• Information Technology

3. History
• IEEE was founded in 1963 by the merger of the
two institutes, first is Institute of Radio
Engineers (IRE) and second is American
Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE).
• Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) was founded
in 1912 and AIEE is founded in 1884. In the
beginning, it had 150,000 members, 140,000 of
whom were from the United States. By 2010, it
had more than 395000 members in 160 countries.
Headquarters
• IEEE is headquartered in New York in United
States of America.

4. What Does IEEE Do?
• IEEE primarily designs services and develops the
standards that govern them. It imparts, publishes and
encourages industry knowledge via publications,
conferences and collaborating with academic institutes
across the globe.
• IEEE presently includes 39 technical societies and
councils that have grown to include everything from
aerospace to robotics and automation.
• In addition to IEEE standards in computer networks, it
also sponsors awards to honour research and related
educational achievements. The IEEE Medal of Honor is
considered to be the highest and most significant award in
the electrical engineering discipline.
• IEEE is devoted to growing the theory and application of
electronics, electrical and computing.

5. Characteristics
• Compatibility: Able to achieve performance very similar to
that currently offered by Ethernet, meeting the current traffic
demands.
• Technical societies: There are various technical areas
addressed by IEEE’s 39 societies and each one focused on a
certain knowledge area.
• Media: Each of the IEEE standards specify the medium
through which signals are traveled in a network. Like Twisted
Pair cable, coaxial cable, etc.
• Speed: The IEEE standard defines the maximum speed through
which data can be transferred. Usually, the data transfer speed
is in Mbps, but in some fast systems, it can go up to Gbps.
• Access Method: IEEE standard defines the method through
which a network system can access a transmission channel to
send/receive the data.
• Topology: Topology used by the network can be implemented
using the IEEE LAN standard.

6. IEEE and Computer Networks
• Computer Networks are referred to as a system of linked
computing and other such devices that can communicate
with each other and exchange information along with
resources.
• Putting it into a homogenized fashion, IEEE standards in
computer networks were published, with the family of
IEEE 802 being the most notable one.
• The IEEE 802 is a standard for Local Area
Networks(LANs) and Metropolitan Area Networks
(MANs).
• The IEEE Standards in computer networks assure
communication and transmission among various devices
and gadgets. In addition to that, it also ensures that the
Internet and its technologies adhere to their set of rules so
that networking and communication take place
efficiently and appropriately.

7. Why are IEEE Standards in Computer
Networks Important?
• Various companies manufacture computer hardware
across the globe. But these companies only provide
network hardware which can only connect to specific
devices.
• These standards ensure the interoperability of devices
from different companies and manufacturers. They follow
a common set of protocols.
• The 802 sets guidelines for securing networks against
unauthorized access and other forms of cyber threats.
• The 802 standards are designed in such a way that they
support all networks and network complexities.

8. IEEE Standards in Computer Networks
• Since there are various types of computer system
manufacturers, the IEEE's computer society started a
project in 1985 called Project 802 to enable standard
communication between various devices. Under this
project, the IEEE divided the data link layer into two
sub-parts, namely
• LLC or Logical Link Control and
• MAC or Media Access Control.
• The standards that deal with computer networking are
called the IEEE 802 wireless standards.
• The IEEE 802 is a collection of networking standards that
deals with the data link layer and physical layer
technologies like Ethernet and wireless communications.

9. The three notable IEEE standards are
• IEEE 802: The IEEE 802 deals with the standards of
LAN and MAN.
• IEEE 802.1: The IEEE 802.1 deals with the standards of
LAN and MAN. Along with that, it also deals with the
MAC (Media Access Control) bridging.
• IEEE 802.2: The IEEE 802.2 deals with the LLC (Logical
Link Control).
• The IEEE 802.11 standard in computer networks is used
in various homely devices like laptops, printers,
smartphones, and various other devices that allow them
to communicate with each other using the Internet.
• The IEEE 802.11 standard in computer networks is useful
for devices that use wireless communication, i.e., WiFi
bands.
