The IEEE standard that specifies carrier sense media access control and physical layer specifications for 1- and 2-megabit-per-second (Mbps) wireless LANs operating in the 2.4-GHz band.

The IEEE standard that specifies carrier sense media access control and physical layer specifications for wireless LANs operating in the 5-GHz frequency band.

A

ad hoc network

antenna gain

associated

A wireless network composed of stations without access points.

The gain of an antenna is a measure of the antenna’s ability to direct or focus radio energy over a region of space. High-gain antennas have a more focused radiation pattern in a specific direction.

A non-root bridge is configured properly to allow it to wirelessly communicate with a root bridge.

B

beacon

A packet that signals the availability and presence of the wireless device. Beacon packets are sent

 

by root bridges.

BOOTP

Boot Protocol. A protocol used for the static assignment of IP addresses to devices on the network.

bridge

A wireless LAN transceiver that is used to connect two or more wired Ethernet networks.

broadcast packet

A single data message (packet) sent to all addresses on the same subnet.

C

cell

CSMA

The area of radio range or coverage in which the wireless devices can communicate with the base station. The size of the cell depends upon the speed of the transmission, the type of antenna used, and the physical environment, as well as other factors.

Carrier sense multiple access. A wireless LAN media access method specified by the IEEE 802.11 specification.
