Backbone 
The core infrastructure of a network. The portion of the network 
that transports information from one central location to another 
central location where it is unloaded onto a local system.
Basic Service Set 
(BSS)
A set of 802.11-compliant stations and an access point that 
operate as a fully-connected wireless network.
Beacon
A signal periodically transmitted from the access point that is 
used to identify the service set, and to maintain contact with 
wireless clients.
Broadcast Key
Broadcast keys are sent to stations using 802.1x dynamic keying. 
Dynamic broadcast key rotation is often used to allow the access 
point to generate a random group key and periodically update all 
key-management capable wireless clients.
CSMA/CA
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol 
(DHCP)
Provides a framework for passing configuration information to 
hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap 
Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation 
of reusable network addresses and additional configuration 
options.
Encryption
Data passing between the access point and clients can use 
encryption to protect from interception and evesdropping.
