12.   What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what are their differences? 
Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband 
carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known to both 
transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to 
maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS 
appears to be short-duration impulse noise. Direct-sequence 
spread-spectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern for each 
bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping 
code). The longer the chip is, the greater the probability that the 
original data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip 
are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in 
the radio can recover the original data without-the need for 
retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low 
power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband 
receivers. 
 
13.   What is Spread Spectrum? 
Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency 
technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, 
mission-critical communication systems. It is designed to trade off 
bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other 
words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband 
transmission, but the trade off produces a signal that is, in effect, 
louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the 
parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a 
receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread –spectrum 
signal looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives, 
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping 
Spread Spectrum (FHSS). 
 
14.   What is WPS? 
WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. It provides a simple way to 
establish unencrypted or encrypted connections between wireless 
clients and access point automatically. User can press a software or 
hardware button to activate WPS function, and WPS-compatible 
wireless clients and access point will establish connection by 
themselves. There are two types of WPS: PBC (Push-Button 
Configuration) and PIN code.
