HIPERLAN/2 (HL/2) is a Wireless LAN (WLAN) standard defined by the ETSI BRAN. This standard will operate in the unlicensed 5 GHz band and will provide data rates up to 54 Mbps in the physical layer in order to support broadband multimedia communications between portable devices and different core networks. This paper presents different spatial diversity techniques that can be employed in an OFDM based WLAN system to improve the system performance in Rice and Rayleigh channels. The paper presents some results obtained by simulation when a HIPERLAN/2 transceiver is employed.
