MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver 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) 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: A group of computers each with wireless adapters, connected as an independent WLAN. AES: Advanced Encryption Standard. SSID: Service Set Identifier. A 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy. A security protocol for WLANs defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access. WPA2: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. The next generation of Wi-Fi security, based on the 802.11i standard. WPA2-PSK: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Pre-shared Keys.
