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)

Short for Service Set Identifier. SSID acts as a password when a wireless devices tries to connect on the wireless network. All wireless devices must use the same SSID. SSID is also called as ESSID.
