Communication with an Access Point (infrastructure)

An infrastructure network is one that extends an existing wired local network to
wireless devices by providing an access point. The access point bridges the
wireless and wired LAN and acts as a central controller for the Wireless LAN.
The access point coordinates transmission and reception from multiple wireless
devices within a specific range.
