AdHoc
AdHoc mode is a wireless network system in which devices communicate directly
with each other, without the use of a wireless router.
CSMA/CA
Short for Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance. CSMA/CA is a
network collision detection and resolution technique on a wireless network.
DS-SS
Short for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. DS-SS is one of the modulation on
the wireless communication.
Encryption (WEP)
Short for Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP is a security protocol for wireless network
defined in the IEEE 802.11b standard. WEP aims to provide security by encrypting
data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point
to another.
IEEE 802.11b
IEEE 802.11b refers to the specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless
network technology. It provides 11 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using
only DS-SS. It allows the wireless communication without complicated cabling.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure mode is one of the wireless network system in which devices
communicate with each other by first going through the wireless router. In
infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can
communicate with a wired network.
SSID (ESSID)
