27. t is broken into several segments if the size of packet exceeds that allowed by the network medium Fragmentation Threshold The Fragmentation Threshold defines the number of bytes used for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages The purpose of Fragmentation Threshold is to increase the transfer reliability thru cutting a MAC Service Data Unit MSDU into several MAC Protocol Data Units MPDU in smaller size The RF transmission can not allow to transmit too big frame size due to the heavy interference caused by the big size of transmission frame But if the frame size is too small it will create the overhead during the transmission Gateway a device that interconnects networks with different incompatible communication protocols HEX Hexadecimal HEX consists of numbers from 0 9 and letters from A F IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers which is the largest technical professional society that promotes the development and application of electrotechnology and allied sciences for the benefit of humanity the advancement of the profession The IEEE fosters the development of standards that often become national and international standards Infrastructure An infrastructure network is a wireless network or other small network in which the wireless network devices are made a part of the network through the Access Point which connects them to the rest of the network ISM Band The FCC and their counterparts
28. t it associated work in one of the channels CSMAICA In local area networking this is the CSMA technique that combines slotted time division multiplexing with carrier sense multiple access collision detection CSMA CD to avoid having collisions occur a second time This works best if the time allocated is short compared to packet length and if the number of situations is small CSMA CD Carrier Sense Multiple Access Collision Detection which is a LAN access method used in Ethernet When a device wants to gain access to the network it checks to see if the network is quiet senses the carrier If it is not it waits a random amount of time before retrying If the network is quiet and two devices access the line at exactly the same time their signals collide When the collision is detected they both back off and wait a random amount of time before retrying DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol which is a protocol that lets network administrators manage and allocate Internet Protocol IP addresses in a network Every computer has to have an IP address in order to communicate with each other in a TCP IP based infrastructure network Without DHCP each computer must be entered in manually the IP address DHCP enables the network administrators to assign the IP from a central location and each computer receives an IP address upon plugged with the Ethernet cable everywhere on the network DSSS Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum DSSS generates a
