2. Wireless distribution system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system

   A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them.

3. Wireless mesh network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network

   A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. It can also be a form of wireless ad hoc network. [1] A mesh refers to rich interconnection among devices or nodes. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. Mobility of nodes is less frequent.

4. IEEE 802.11s - Wikipedia

   Also, mesh STAs can collocate with an 802.11 portal that implements the role of a gateway and provides access to one or more non-802.11 networks. In both cases, 802.11s provides a proxy mechanism to provide addressing support for non-mesh 802 devices, allowing for end-points to be cognizant of external addresses.

5. Wireless ad hoc network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad_hoc_network

   In a fully connected mesh, each node is connected to every other node, forming a "mesh". A partial mesh, by contrast, has a topology in which some nodes are not connected to others, although this term is seldom in use. Wireless ad hoc networks can take the form of a mesh networks or others.

6. Wi-Fi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi

   Access points send out beacon frames to announce the presence of networks. An Extended Service Set may be formed by deploying multiple access points that are configured with the same SSID and security settings. Wi-Fi client devices typically connect to the access point that can provide the strongest signal within that service set. [106]

7. Long-range Wi-Fi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_Wi-Fi

   Long-range Wi-Fi is used for low-cost, unregulated point-to-point computer network connections, as an alternative to other fixed wireless, cellular networks or satellite Internet access. Wi-Fi networks have a range that's limited by the frequency, transmission power, antenna type, the location they're used in, and the environment. [ 1 ]
