In a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), communication between a station (STA) and an access point (AP) involves several frame types categorized under Management, Control, and Data frames. Below are the basic frames exchanged during a typical interaction: 1. Management Frames: Beacon Frame: Sen...
Once a device receives the access point's beacon, it connects to the network by sending an “authentication request.” The access point then verifies the device's credentials (e.g., Wi-Fi password) and assigns it an IP address. At that point, the device is officially connected to the Wi...
Mentioning geostationary satellites segues to this inescapable fact: receiving and transmitting data via an orbiting beacon in the heavens follows an incredibly long path, at least by terrestrial standards. If you skipped middle school science, a satellite in a geostationary orbit is 22,235 miles ou...
This includes varying forms of radar, radio frequency receiver systems, telemetry devices, sensors, and satellite beacon systems. 3.

What Is GPS? GPS is a satellite-based positioning system operated by the United States Department of Defense (DoD). GPS encompasses three segments—space, control, and user. The space segment includes the 24 operational NAVSTAR satellites that orbit the earth every 12 hours at an altitude of ...

Wi-Fi is typically accessed through WLANs, which use radio technology instead of wiring to connect nodes. An AP or router broadcasts a service set identifier beacon. An endpoint device or user with a Wi-Fi-enabled network interface then connects with the AP to enable the Wi-Fi transmission...

A beam is a structural element that supports loads, typically horizontal, made of wood, steel, or concrete, while a soffit is part of a building's ceiling or roof structure, often covering the underside of eaves.
FDDI stands for Fiber Distributed Data Interface. It is a high-speed, high-bandwidth network based on optical transmissions. It is most often used as a network backbone, for connecting high-end computers (mainframes, minicomputers, and peripherals), and
