Appendix B: Glossary

802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless product 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. 802.11b networks are also referred to

as Wi-Fi networks.

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 802.11b devices,

and WEP encryption for security.

Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a Wireless N USB

Adapter, connected as an independent 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.

DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) - DSSS generates a redundant bit pattern for all

data transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code). Even if one or more bits

in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the receiver

can recover the original data without the need of retransmission. To an unintended receiver,

DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband

receivers. However, to an intended receiver (i.e. another wireless LAN endpoint), the DSSS

signal is recognized as the only valid signal, and interference is inherently rejected (ignored).

FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) - FHSS continuously changes (hops) the

carrier frequency of a conventional carrier several times per second according to a

pseudo-random set of channels. Because a fixed frequency is not used, and only the

transmitter and receiver know the hop patterns, interception of FHSS is extremely difficult.

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

each with a Wireless N USB Adapter, connected as an 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.

Spread Spectrum - Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique

developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications 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, DSSS and FHSS.

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. See also Wireless Network

Name and ESSID.

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

152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 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 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.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) - A wireless security protocol use TKIP (Temporal Key

Integrity Protocol) encryption, which can be used in conjunction with a RADIUS server.
