Glossary
Glossary-2
bandwidth, which is measured in Megahertz (MHz). WiMAX supports a range of
channel bandwidths that can be defined by the service operator depending on
performance requirements, operating preferences, and regulatory constraints.
CPE (Customer-Premises Equipment)
Terminal equipment provided by a service provider that is located at a subscriber’s
premises and supports a communication channel between a customer and the
service provider.
Domain Name System (DNS)
A system used for translating host names for network nodes into IP addresses.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP
network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability
of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration
options.
Encryption
Data passing between a base station and subscribers uses encryption to protect
from interception and evesdropping.
Ethernet
A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission
from computers and terminals.
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
An authentication protocol used to authenticate subscribers. EAP is used with TLS
or TTLS authentication to provide “mutual authentication” between a subscriber and
a WiMAX network.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World Wide Web.
IEEE 802.11b
The Wi-Fi wireless standard that supports communications in the 2.4 GHz band
using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). The standard provides for data
rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.
IEEE 802.11g
The Wi-Fi wireless standard that supports communications in the 2.4 GHz band
using using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The standard
provides for data rates of 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is also
backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b.
