Diversity
A method of using multiple antennas, and selecting the one with the
best receiving conditions.
Router
A device for relaying between LAN's. The router determines data
addresses by the combination of a network address assigned to the
network and an individual computer address. Used particularly in
medium-scale and larter LAN systems with very large number of
clients, to reduce traffic (congestion) on communication lines.
Bridge
A device for relaying between LAN's. The bridge determines
whether to relay data based on the address of the computer to which
the data is being sent. It can be used to connect networks having
different protocols, or when data for broadcast to all computers is
received, can send this to all connected networks.
Brouter
A router with an added bridge function. When data received from
one network cannot be processed by the router because a different
protocol is used, the bridge function can be used to send the data on
to the other network.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A network configured from mutual connections between computers
within a limited area. Also called an "intranet" or "business or
regional data communications network."
RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indication)
A numeric indicator of incoming signal strength.
Spectrum diffusion transmission
A method of transmission in which signals that are normally
transmitted over a given limited frequency band undergo narrow
band modulation (primary modulation), then again diffuse
modulation (secondary modulation) to intentionally diffuse the
signal over a broad frequency spectrum.
