  2. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    Changing MAC addresses is necessary in network virtualization. In MAC spoofing, this is practiced in exploiting security vulnerabilities of a computer system. Some modern operating systems, such as Apple iOS and Android, especially in mobile devices, are designed to assign a random MAC address to their network interface when scanning for ...

  3. IEEE 802.15.4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.15.4

    IEEE 802.15.4 protocol stack. Devices are designed to interact with each other over a conceptually simple wireless network.The definition of the network layers is based on the OSI model; although only the lower layers are defined in the standard, interaction with upper layers is intended, possibly using an IEEE 802.2 logical link control sublayer accessing the MAC through a convergence sublayer.

  4. Wireless distribution system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system

    A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them.

  5. IEEE 802.15 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.15

    The IEEE 802.15.4f Active RFID System Task Group is chartered to define new wireless Physical (PHY) layer(s) and enhancements to the 802.15.4-2006 standard MAC layer which are required to support new PHY(s) for active RFID system bi-directional and location determination applications.

  6. Service set (802.11 network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_(802.11_network)

    In IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networking standards (including Wi‑Fi), a service set is a group of wireless network devices which share a service set identifier (SSID)—typically the natural language label that users see as a network name. (For example, all of the devices that together form and use a Wi‑Fi network called "Foo" are a ...

  7. Wireless LAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_LAN

    This notebook computer is connected to a wireless access point using a PC Card wireless card. An example of a Wi-Fi network. A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building.

  8. Wireless network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_network

    Wireless icon. A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes. [1] Wireless networking allows homes, telecommunications networks, and business installations to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations.

  9. 802.11 frame types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11_Frame_Types

    In the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN protocols (such as Wi-Fi), a MAC frame is constructed of common fields (which are present in all types of frames) and specific fields (present in certain cases, depending on the type and subtype specified in the first octet of the frame). Generic 802.11 Frame
