      WD752-BD-N 150Mbps Wireless Lite N USB Adapter  - 39 - Appendix A:  Glossary 802.11b -  The  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. 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. 802.11n  -  802.11n  builds  upon  previous  802.11  standards  by  adding  MIMO  (multiple-input multiple-output).  MIMO uses  multiple transmitter and  HreceiverH  antennas  to allow for  increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps  through  coding  schemes  like  Alamouti  coding.  The  Enhanced  Wireless  Consortium (EWC)HU[3]UH was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology  specification  for  interoperability  of  next-generation  wireless  local  area  networking (WLAN) products. Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a wireless 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 for 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 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.
      WD752-BD-N 150Mbps Wireless Lite N USB Adapter  - 40 - 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,  Direct  Sequence  Spread  Spectrum  (DSSS)  and  Frequency  Hopping  Spread Spectrum (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.   WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-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.
