applications, each cell or micro-cell has its own base station; each base station in turn is interconnected with other cells' bases. BSS-Basic Service Set. It is an access point and all the LAN PCs that are associated with it. CSMA/CA-Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance. EAP-Extensible Authentication Protocol, which provides a generalized framework for several different authentication methods. ESS-Extended Service Set. More than one BSS is configured to become an ESS. LAN mobile users can roam between different BSSs in an ESS (ESS-ID, SSID). Ethernet-A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission from computers and terminals. Infrastructure-An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration. Roaming-A wireless LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and maintains a continuous connection to the infrastructure network. RTS Threshold-Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each other (they are "hidden nodes"). The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this problem. If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. VLAN-Virtual Local Area Network. A LAN consisting of groups of hosts that are on physically different segments but that communicate as though they were on the same segment. WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network traffic. WPA-Wi-Fi Protected Access. 12
