IEEE 802.11b  - The IEEE 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps 

using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the 

unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. IEEE 802.11b 

networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. 

IEEE 802.11g  - Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence 

spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the 

unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 8021b 

devices, and WEP encryption for security. 

Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a wireless 

adapter, connected as an independent IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless 

computers operate on a peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with each other without 

the use of an access point. Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as an Independent Basic 

Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer mode, and is useful at a departmental scale or 

SOHO operation. 

Infrastructure Network - An infrastructure network is a group of computers or other 

devices, each with a wireless adapter, connected as an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. In 

infrastructure mode, the wireless devices communicate with each other and to a wired 

network by first going through an access point. An infrastructure wireless network 

connected to a wired network is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). A set of two or 

more BSS in a single network is referred to as an Extended Service Set (ESS). 

Infrastructure mode is useful at a corporation scale, or when it is necessary to connect the 

wired and wireless networks. 

SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key 

identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to 

communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is 

typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in 

the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.   

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64 bit or 128 bit 

or 256 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11g standard.   

Wi-Fi - A trade name for the IEEE 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the 

Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry 

standards group promoting interoperability among IEEE 802.11b devices. 

WLAN  (Wireless  Local  Area  Network)  - A group of computers and associated devices 

communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local 

area.
