1. Ad-Hoc: The Ad-Hoc network is also known as a peer-to-peer network. An Ad-Hoc
networking does not need Access Point. Instead, the Ad-Hoc network is a loose
association of wireless computers that can communicate with each other using
Wireless LAN PC Card in Ad-Hoc Mode

with an Access Point to connect to a wired network. An infrastructure network also can
consist of multiple Access Points. This can extend the coverage area of wireless
network. In this configuration, the wireless network consists of cells. Each cell is a
single Access Point that has different frequency channel to prevent from interfering
each other. A wireless station can move from one Access Point to next without losing
the network connection.
