network node before it can begin to exchange data with the network.
IEEE 802.11a
The 54-Mbps, 5 GHz standard (1999)
IEEE 802.11b
The 11-Mbps, 2.4 GHz standard.
IEEE 802.11d
International (country-to-country) roaming extensions.
IEEE 802.11e
IEEE 802.11e is a standard that defines a set of
Quality of Service (QoS) enhancements for LAN applications, in
particular the IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standard. The standard is considered of critical importance for delay-sensitive
applications, such as Voice over Wireless IP and Streaming Multimedia.
IEEE 802.11g
The 54 Mbps, 2.4 GHz standard (backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b) (2003)
IEEE 802.11h
A supplementary standard to IEEE 802.11 to comply with European regulations. It adds transmission power control and
dynamic frequency selection.
IEEE 802.11i
IEEE 802.11i (also known as WPA2
™
) is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms
for wireless networks. The draft standard was ratified on 24 June 2004, and supersedes the previous security
specification,
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), which was shown to have severe security weaknesses.
IEEE 802.11n
IEEE 802.11n is a amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard. The IEEE 802.11n standard specifies the use of multiple
receivers and transmitters to achieve increased throughput over wireless networks that is significantly greater than is
currently possible.
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
A large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the
evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.
infrastructure network
A network in which there is at least one
wireless router/AP and one wireless client. The wireless client uses the
wireless router/AP to access the resources of a traditional wired network. The wired network can be an organization
intranet or the Internet, depending on the placement of the wireless router/AP.
Initiator ID
The peer identity bound to a PAC.
intermediate certificate
A certificate issued by an intermediate certification authority (CA). See also
root certificate.
Internet Protocol (IP) address
The address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the address designates which network the computer
is on, and the other part represents the host identification.
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
The next generation protocol designed by the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to replace the current version
Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 (IPv4).
ISM frequency bands
Industrial, Scientific, and Medical frequency bands in the range of 902–928 MHz, 2.4–2.485 GHz, 5.15–5.35 GHz, and
