The IEEE standard that specifies carrier sense media access control and physical layer specifications for wireless LANs operating in the 5-GHz frequency band. The IEEE standard that specifies carrier sense media access control and physical layer specifications for 5.5- and 11-Mbps wireless LANs operating in the 2.4-GHz frequency band. A access point ad hoc network antenna gain associated A wireless LAN data transceiver that uses radio waves to connect a wired network with wireless stations. A wireless network composed of stations without Access Points. The gain of an antenna is a measure of the antenna's ability to direct or focus radio energy over a region of space. High gain antennas have a more focused radiation pattern in a specific direction. A station is configured properly to allow it to wirelessly communicate with an Access Point. B beacon BOOTP BPSK broadcast packet A wireless LAN packet that signals the availability and presence of the wireless device. Beacon packets are sent by access points and base stations; however, client radio cards send beacons when operating in computer to computer (Ad Hoc) mode. Boot Protocol.
