Encryption
―
A security method that uses a specific algorithm to alter the data
transmitted, thus prevent others from knowing the information transmitted.
e Set. LAN mobile users can roam between different BSSs
in an ESS.
SSID as AP’s to get connected.
Fragmentation
―
When transmitting a packet over a network medium, sometimes
Fragmentation 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

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.
ESS
―
ESS stands for “Extended Service Set”. More than one BSS is configured to
become Extended Servic
ESSID
―
The unique identifier that identifies the ESS. In infrastructure
association , the stations use the same E
Ethernet
―
A popular local area data communications network, originally
developed by Xerox Corp., that accepts transmission from computers and terminals.
Ethernet operates on a 10/100 Mbps base transmission rate, using a shielded
coaxial cable or over shielded twisted pair telephone wire.
the packet is broken into several segments, if the size of packet exceeds that
allowed by the network medium.
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.
HEX
– Hexadecimal, HEX, consists of numbers from 0 – 9 and letters from A – F.
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.
