Glossary
Ad-hoc mode A small peer-to-peer network mode, in which wireless clients are connected to
each other directly without using an access point. Some of the wireless clients are
part of the network for a limited duration. They are also in close proximity with the
rest of the network. According to the IEEE 802.11b specification, Ad-hoc mode is
referred to as an independent basic service set.
Antenna A device that intercepts radio frequency (RF) waves from the atmosphere and
converts them to corresponding signal voltages.
Access Point (AP) A networking device that transparently bridges wireless computers to a wired local
network.
Bandwidth A measure of the maximum rate of data transfer. A higher bandwidth allows more
data transmission in a given period of time. For digital services, the bandwidth is
usually expressed in bits or bytes per second.
BSS (Basic Service
Set)
A group of wireless clients and an access point using the same ID (SSID).
DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration
Protocol)
A method of assigning a temporary IP address to a host, such as a computer,
connected on a specific network. With dynamic addressing, a particular host may
have a different IP address each time it connects to the network.
Dynamic IP address See DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
