Network Topologies
Ad Hoc Wireless LAN
An ad hoc wireless LAN
consists of a group of
computers, each equipped
with one wireless adapter,
connected via radio signals
as an independent wireless
LAN. Computers in a
specific ad hoc wireless
LAN must therefore be
configured to the same
radio channel. An ad hoc
wireless LAN can be used
in a SOHO or temporary environment.
