question
41. What are some of the different types of wireless topologies that can be created?
answer
Some of the different types of wireless topologies are as follows:
* ad hoc-A small number of nodes closely positioned transmit directly to each other without an intervening connectivity device.
* infrastructure-An intervening connectivity device, a WAP (wireless access point) or AP (access point), accepts wireless signals from multiple nodes and retransmits them to the rest of the network. To cover its intended range, an access point must have sufficient power and be strategically placed so that all connected nodes can communicate with it.
* mesh-Several access points work as peer devices on the same network, where the AP devices cooperate to provide more fault tolerant network access to clients. A wireless controller might be used only initially to configure the APs, or the APs might remain connected to the wireless controller for continued management.
question
Describe the 802.11a standard, and detail some of its history and advantages / disadvantages versus other 802.11 standards.
answer
Although the 802.11a task group began its standards work before the 802.11b group, 802.11a was released after 802.11b. The higher throughput of 802.11a, as compared with 802.11b, is attributable to its use of higher frequencies, its unique method of modulating data, and more available bandwidth. Perhaps most significant is that the 5-GHz band is not as congested as the 2.4-GHz band. Thus, 802.11a signals are less likely to suffer interference from microwave ovens, cordless phones, motors, and other (incompatible) wireless LAN signals. However, higher-frequency signals require more power to transmit, and they travel shorter distances than lower-frequency signals. As a result, 802.11a networks require a greater density of access points between the wired LAN and wireless clients to cover the same distance that 802.11b networks cover. The additional access points, as well as the nature of 802.11a equipment, make this standard more expensive than either 802.11b or 802.11g. For this and other reasons, 802.11a is rarely preferred.
