Q

Operators in licensed bands, however, must have a license because they are allowed to follow different rules, such as transmitting at higher powers.

FCC approved 802.11 on only channels 1-11 of the 2.4 GHz band and most of the 5 GHz UNII bands

A

24
Q

two kinds of wireless gateways

A

Residential and Enterprise

25
home router, and it provides a wireless internet connection in a small setting
Residential
26
for larger scale wireless local area networks (WLAN) such as offices.
Enterprise
27
allows a wireless network to expand using multiple access points without a traditional wired link between them.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
28
Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), Basic Service Set (BSS) and Extended Service Set (ESS)
IEEE 802.11 supports three basic topologies for WLAN
29
ad-hoc mode or peer-to-peer mode refers to an office network in which there is no single node required to functions as a server.
IBSS
30
contains at least one access point connected to a wired network infrastructure and a set of wireless end stations.
BSS
31
has multiple overlapping BSSs (each BSS having at least one access point) connected by the means of a Distributed System.
ESS
32
usually a web page where the user of a public-access network is forced to interact with in order to gain access to their Wi-Fi.
Captive portals
33
requires a user to look/read over their acceptable user policy (AUP) page and agree to it before granting access.
Simple Captive Portal
34
may ask for a username and password before granting internet access to a user.
Complicated Captive Portal
35
How many modes of operation are there in a station?
