IEEE 802.11:

  • IEEE 802.11 stands for wireless LAN that was ratified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
  • There are many 802.11 standards for wireless LAN technology in the IEEE 802.11. The different 802.11 standards all share some common characteristics.
  • Basic service set (BSS) is a fundamental building block of 802.11 architecture. The BSS also known as Access Point (AP).
  • Every wireless station in 802.11 wants to associate with an access point before it can send or receive network layer data.

DIFS:

DIFS stands for DCF Interframe Spacing. It is a time delay for which sender wait after finishing its back off, previously sending RTS package.

SIFS:

SIFS stands for Shortest Interframe Spacing and it is consider as shortest among above mention networking technology.

Request to send (RTS)/ clear to send (CTS):

  • The optimal mechanism used by the IEEE 802.11 is RTS. This is used to decreasing the frame collisions which was introduced by the hidden node problem.
  • In order to avoid the collisions problem, the IEEE 802.11 protocol allows a station to use Request to Send (RTS) and Clear to Send (CTS) control frames to reserve access to the channel.
  • When a sender want to send a data frame, it can initial send an RTS frame to the AP. After AP receives the RTS frame, it will responds by broadcasting a CTS frame.

How can I type the Java OOP code with this following code below: public static void sellCruiseTicket(Cruise[] allCruises) { //Type the code here }
Consider the following three machine instructions, which appear in memory starting at the address 0x0000000080001270. Address (in hex) Contents (in hex) 0x0000000080001270  0x94000018 0x00000000800012D0    0x94000A53 0x00000000800012D4  0xD61F03C0 "Disassemble” the instructions; that is, give an assembly language program segment that would be translated into the given machine language. Use numeric rather than symbolic register names. Handle branches and jumps specially; where you would normally have a label, provide instead a hexadecimal byte address.
8.7 An ideal germanium pn junction diode has the following parameters: Na = 4 × 10¹5 cm³, Na = 2 × 10¹7 cm³, D₂ = 48 cm²/s, D₁ = 90 cm²/s, Tpo = T = 2 × 10-6 s, and A = 104 cm². Determine the diode current for (a) a forward-bias voltage of 0.25 V and (b) a reverse-biased voltage of 0.25 V.
