Appendix C: Glossary

802.11

A family of specifications developed by the IEEE for WLAN technology.

802.11b

An extension to 802.11 that applies to WLANS and provides 11 Mbps transmission rate in the 2.4GHz band.

802.11b use only DSSS.

802.11g

An extension to 802.11 that applies to WLANS and provides 54 Mbps transmission rate in the 2.4 GHz band.

802.11g use OFDM and is backward compatible with 802.11b.

Ad -hoc

Under this mode, any two wireless stations can communicate with each other directly, each station contention public wireless channel. The advantage is build network conveniently, lower charge, and stabilization. The disadvantage is that when user's station is too many, it will bring down the capability of Internet because each station contention public wireless channel. At the same time, each station need to be connected directly, the layout of Internet will be bounded sometimes. Furthermore, it can't access Internet. So this configuration only can be used when the users are less.

Access Point, A communication hub for wireless device users to connect to a wired LAN.

BBP

Baseband Processor，The processor that handles the original band of frequencies of a signal before it is modulated for transmission at a higher frequency.

Bridging Bridging, provide path between two or more net section or subnet, these subnet have the same address and topological structural. The device which bring off bridging called bridge, some station can use bridge to broadcast message to other station, so bridge is a device which can connect net section's two port or more port. And bridge also can divide the busy net in to two section, reduce the traffic of each section to improve capability. It can filter net broadcasting message, only allow the communication message get to another net by bridge.
