A
access point
A wireless LAN data transceiver that uses radio waves to connect a wired
network with wireless stations.
ad hoc network
A wireless network composed of stations without Access Points.
antenna gain
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.
associated
A station is configured properly to allow it to wirelessly communicate with an
Access Point.
B
beacon
