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.
DS(Direct Sequence)
A type of spectrum diffusion signal using narrow band modulation with phase
modulation, in which the diffusion is by means of phase modulation using a broad band
diffusion signal (pseudo random strings).
CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)
CSMA is a method of avoiding collision by which wireless terminals listen before
transmitting and do not transmit if they can year transmissions from other wireless
terminals. CSMA/CA is CSMA plus additional collision avoidance functions.
Hidden Terminal Problem
When wireless terminals are farther apart then their electric signals can reach, or their
signals are obstructed by objects, neither may be able to receive the other's signals.
Any two such wireless terminals are said to be hidden from each other. In Ad Hoc
mode, because the carrier sense function is not effective between hidden terminals
there is a higher probability of collisions and throughput (the volume of information
sent in a given time interval) is reduced.
RTS(Reqest To Send)
In communication via AP, transmission is controlled by CSMA/CA plus RTS. In RTS,
a wireless terminal asks the AP if it is all right to transmit, and only transmits after an
OK-to-send acknowledgement signal is returned. This serves to avoid unnecessary
collisions when hidden terminals exist because hidden terminals cannot transmit.
Roaming
This term has the same meaning as roaming for a portable phone or PHS. The AP is in
the role commonly called the 'antenna/base station' for the phone or PHS, and the user
unit is in the role of the phone itself.
