Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum PHY of the 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard

Edit: h3ndrik@feddit.de is correct. FHSS was quickly dropped for DSSS and OFDM, and FHSS is not used in any modern WiFi specs. You can see the list in table 7.6 here https://www.pearsonitcertification.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1329709&seqNum=4

It may be dropped, but it was used in the beginning

Wouldn’t that not still make her the mother of Wifi?

Hehehe, you can call her the mother of early 802.11 and Bluetooth.

that’s not how it works. edit: others pointed it out already it seems. you would still call the inventor of a first car the father lf cars even though it has nothing to do with modern cars

edit2: but considering that she didn’t really invent wifi, just frequency hopping, I would maybe call her grandmother or something

But that’s not part of 802.11n or 802.11g or “a” or what we call “Wifi”… 802.11 in itself is a pretty long standard, including all kinds of different things.
