Fragmentation: | When transmitting a packet over a network medium, sometimes |
|
| the packet is broken into several segments, if the size of packet |
|
| exceeds that allowed by the network medium. |

Threshold: | The Fragmentation Threshold defines the number of bytes used for | |
| the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. The purpose of | |
| “Fragmentation Threshold” is to increase the transfer reliability thru | |
| cutting a MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) into several MAC Protocol | |
| Data Units (MPDU) in smaller size. The RF transmission can not |
|
| allow to transmit too big frame size due to the heavy interference |
|
| caused by the big size of transmission frame. But if the frame size is | |
| too small, it will create the overhead during the transmission. |
|
Gateway: | A device that interconnects networks with different, incompatible |
|
| communication protocols. |
|
HEX: | Hexadecimal, HEX, consists of numbers from 0 – 9 and letters from | |
| A – F. |
|
IEEE: | The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which is |
|
| the largest technical professional society that promotes the |
|
| development and application of electrotechnology and allied |
|
| sciences for the benefit of humanity, the advancement of the |
|
| profession. The IEEE fosters the development of standards that |
|
| often become national and international standards. |
|
Infrastructure: | An infrastructure network is a wireless network or other small |
|
| network in which the wireless network devices are made a part of |
|
| the network through the Access Point which connects them to the | |
| rest of the network. |
