Glossary of Wireless Networking Terms

Roaming - A wireless LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and
maintains a continuous connection to the Infrastructure network.

RTS Threshold - Transmitters contending for the medium may not be
aware of each other. RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node
Problem”. If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size,
the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled.

WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy is based on the use of 64-bit or 28-bit
keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. Wireless devices without
a valid WEP key will be excluded from network traffic.
