-http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnumber=5280500+    * 802.11a and g (<=54 Mbps)The 802.11a and g systems use 64-channel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)In an OFDM modulation system, the available radio band is divided into a number of sub-channels, and some of the bits are sent on eachThe transmitter encodes the bit streams on the 64 subcarriers using Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), or one of two levels of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16, or 64-QAM)Some of the transmitted information is redundant, so the receiver does not have to receive all of the sub-carriers to reconstruct the information

 +The original 802.11 specifications also included an option for frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS), but that has largely been abandoned.
