Technical issues
There are a number of technical issues which arise from the use of 802.11 technology.
Figure 1, below, identifies the elements involved in arranging an 802.11 Internet access service, and their interconnection. A mobile terminal uses a radio link to communicate with an access point, using 802.11 protocols and the Wi-Fi interworking profile. The access point links to AAA7 functions, which may be local or remote. The access point also offers Internet connectivity, which again may be local or remote.

Link sharing
The 802.11 protocols are designed to permit the sharing of the radio link’s capacity between several mobile terminals. Thus one access point can simultaneously support a number of mobile terminals. The number of mobile terminals which can satisfactorily share an access point depends on the services which those mobile terminals are accessing.
