    IEEE 802.11 Wi-fi networks are the most widely used wireless networks in the world, connecting devices like laptops (left) to the internet through a wireless router (right) IEEE 802.11 is part of the IEEE 802 set of local area network (LAN) technical standards , and specifies the set of medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY ...

  3. List of WLAN channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

    Wireless LAN (WLAN) channels are frequently accessed using IEEE 802.11 protocols. The 802.11 standard provides several radio frequency bands for use in Wi-Fi communications, each divided into a multitude of channels numbered at 5 MHz spacing (except in the 45/60 GHz band, where they are 0.54/1.08/2.16 GHz apart) between the centre frequency of the channel.

    Wi-Fi (/ ˈ w aɪ f aɪ /) [1] [a] is a family of wireless network protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves.

  6. Point coordination function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Coordination_Function

    Point Coordination Function (PCF) is a media access control (MAC) technique used in IEEE 802.11 based WLANs, including Wi-Fi.It resides in a point coordinator also known as access point (AP), to coordinate the communication within the network.

  7. Service set (802.11 network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_(802.11_network)

    In IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networking standards (including Wi‑Fi), a service set is a group of wireless network devices which share a service set identifier (SSID)—typically the natural language label that users see as a network name. (For example, all of the devices that together form and use a Wi‑Fi network called "Foo" are a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_indication_map

    Traffic indication map (TIM) is a structure used in 802.11 wireless network management frames. The traffic indication map information element is covered under section 7.3.2.6 of 802.11-1999 standard. [1] The IEEE 802.11 standards use a bitmap to indicate to any sleeping listening stations that the

  9. IEEE 802.11s - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11s

    IEEE 802.11s is a wireless local area network (WLAN) standard and an IEEE 802.11 amendment for mesh networking, defining how wireless devices can interconnect to create a wireless LAN mesh network, which may be used for relatively fixed (not mobile) topologies and wireless ad hoc networks. The IEEE 802.11s task group drew upon volunteers from ...
