IEEE  802.15:  IEEE  802.15  is  a  working  group  of  the  IEEE  802  standards 
committee which specifies Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standards. 
It  includes  seven  task  groups.  Task  group  one  is  based  on  Bluetooth 
technology. 
IEEE  802.16:  IEEE  802.16  is  a  series  of  Wireless  Broadband  standards 
authored  by  the  Institute  of  Electrical  and  Electronics  Engineers  (IEEE).   
Although the 802.16 family of standards is officially called Wireless MAN in 
IEEE, it has been commercialized under the name “WiMAX” (from "Worldwide 
Interoperability for Microwave Access") by the WiMAX Forum industry alliance. 
802.16a: 802.16a, also known as WiMAX, extends throughput up to 70Mbit/s 
transmission rate within the distance of 30 miles. 
802.20:  Delivers  1Mbit/s  throughput  for  wireless  MAN  (Metropolitan  area 
network). 
IEEE  802.1X:  IEEE  802.1X  is  an  IEEE  Standard  for  port-based  Network 
Access  Control  (PNAC).  It  is  part  of  the  IEEE  802.1  group  of  networking 
protocols.  It  provides  an  authentication  mechanism  to  devices  wishing  to 
attach  to  a  LAN  or  WLAN.IEEE  802.1X  defines  the  encapsulation  of  the 
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over IEEE 802  which  is known as 
"EAP over LAN" or EAPOL. 
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security algorithm for IEEE 802.11 
wireless  networks.  Introduced  as  part  of  the  original  802.11  standard,  its 
intention was to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional 
wired network. 
WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) 
are two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the 
Wi-Fi  Alliance  to  secure  wireless  computer  networks.  The  Alliance  defined 
these  in  response  to  serious  weaknesses  researchers  had  found  in  the 
previous  system,  WEP  (Wired  Equivalent  Privacy)  and  intended  as  an 
intermediate solution to WEP insecurities. 
RSN: The Wi-Fi Alliance refers to their approved, interoperable implementation 
of the full 802.11i as WPA2, also called RSN (Robust Security Network). RSN, 
based on 802.1x, is introduced to supersede the security specification, WPA.
