Basic Elements

Architecture

Station

装配有 WNIC(Wireless network interface controller/无线网络接口卡)的设备就是 Station。通常分两类:base station 和 wireless client。
Access Point 或者 Wireless Router 就是一种 base station;智能手机、笔记本、装有 WNIC 的桌面机、wireless printer,都是一种 wireless client,即只要装有 WNIC、具有无线网络接口能力的设备,都可称为无线客户端,也成为节点(nodes)。
base station 通常 fixed station,wireless client 通常 mobile station;

BSS(Independent BSS, and infrastructure BSS)

BSS(Basic service set) 是网络的基本构建组块(the standard building block);
1)Independent BSS(IBSS) 就是 ad hoc;

Independent BSS – Ad-hoc
2)infrastructure BSS 简单地说就是一个 AP 带若干移动设备。
Infrastructure BSS
3)两者区别点
infrastructure 模式时,节点(node)之间需要通过 AP 作为中转站(central hub)进行通信;
Wireless access points are usually fixed, and provide service to their client nodes within range.
ad hoc 就是不依赖预先存在的设施,而是临时组织的。因此 ad hoc 是去中心化的。
注意将 ad hoc 和 Wi-Fi Direct 区分开;
ESS(Extended service set)
