IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

IEEE is an international body that defines network standards, especially to standardise

LAN technologies, transfer protocols, data transfer speeds and wiring.

IEEE 802.11

IEEE 802.11 is a standard for wireless LANs operating in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band.

In so-called Infrastructure mode terminals can be connected to a base station (Access

point) or they can connect with each other spontaneously (Ad-hoc mode).

IGMP

Internet Group Management Protocol

IGMP is an Internet Protocol that enables an Internet computer to inform neighbouring

routers that it is a member of a multicast group. With multicasting, a computer can send

content on the Internet to several other computers that have registered an interest in

the first computer's content. Multicasting can, for example, be used for multimedia pro-

grams for media streaming to recipients that have set up multicast group membership.

Infrastructure mode

Infrastructure mode is a way of operating wireless local networks (WLANs) in which an

Access point handles the data traffic. Network components cannot establish a direct

connection with each other as is the case in Ad-hoc mode.
