    Lecture #1 Introduction to Wireless Networking


    1. Define Wireless Network

    Wireless network is an interconnection of many systems capable of providing


    service to mobile users within a particular geographic region (country or
    continent)
    In wireless network, data are carried by Electrical Wave (e.g., radio wave)
    from one node to another.
    There is No Physical Cable/Wire connecting one computer to another
    2. What are the components required for Wireless Networking?
    Base station
    Mobile Switching Center (MSC)
    PSTN (Public Telecommunication Switching Network)
    3. What are the advantages of wireless networking?
    Mobility
    Installation speed and cost
    Reach of network
    Flexibility/scalability
    4. What are the disadvantages of wireless networking?
    Speed
    Security
    5. What is the hardware required for Wireless networking?
    x Wireless NIC (Wireless Network Interface Card)
    x Wireless Access Point (WAP)
    x Universal Access Point (UAP)
    Prepared By Mrs.Vasanthi Muniasamy M.Sc., M.Phil Rank: Asst. Prof., CCG, KKU

    Example of Wireless Devices

    4. What are the types of wireless networking mode?


    a. Ad-hoc Mode
    b. Infrastructure Mode
    5. What is Ad-hoc Mode?
    Each wireless node can communicate directly with each of the other nodes
    in the network (without Wireless Access Point)
    Mesh network topology
    Prepared By Mrs.Vasanthi Muniasamy M.Sc., M.Phil Rank: Asst. Prof., CCG, KKU

    Computer Network 2 2013

    IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set): a group of nodes communicating


    in ad-hoc mode
    6. What is Infrastructure Mode?
    All wireless node communicate to one another via Wireless Access Point
    Star network topology
    BSS (Basic Service Set): a group of nodes communicating in
    infrastructure mode.
    An BSS has one wireless access point
    EBSS (Extended Basic Service Set): two or more BSS that can
    communicate to one another
    An EBSS contains two or more wireless access points

    7. What are the types of Wireless Security?

    Computer Network 2 2013

    There are three basic wireless security methods available


    SSID (Service Set Identification)
    MAC Address Filtering
    Encryption
    8. What are factors affecting the Speed of the wireless network?
    x The wireless network technology Standard
    x The Distance between sender and receiver,
    x Interference from other wireless devices or electronic devices
    x The Presence of Solid Object (especially metal object, electronic
    appliance) between the sender and receiver
    8. What are factors affecting the Range of the wireless network?
    x The wireless network technology Standard
    x Interference from other wireless devices or electronic devices
    x The Presence of Solid Object (especially metal object, electronic
    appliance) between the sender and receiver
    9. How can we increase the range of the wireless network?
    x Using signal booster
    x Using Wireless Access Point
    x Using MULTIPLE Wireless Access Points

    10. List out the Generation of Mobile Wireless Services.


    First Generation (1G)
    Mobile voice services
    Second Generation (2G)
    Primarily voice, some low-speed data
    Generation 2 (2.5G)
    Higher data rates than 2G
    A bridge to 3G
    Third Generation (3G)
