    Correct Answer
    A. DSR
    Explanation
    DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) includes the capabilities to perform both route discovery and maintenance. In DSR, when a source node wants to send data to a destination node, it first checks its route cache for a known route. If a route is not found, the source node initiates a route discovery process by broadcasting a route request packet. The route request packet is flooded through the network until it reaches the destination or a node with a known route to the destination. Once the route is discovered, it is stored in the route cache and used for subsequent data transmission. DSR also includes mechanisms for route maintenance, such as detecting and repairing broken routes.

    A __________ WLAN is one in which the wireless stations usually remain in a relatively fixed location or area)

    • Infrastructure

    • Linked

    • PAN

    • Ad-hoc

    Correct Answer
    A. Infrastructure
    Explanation
    An infrastructure WLAN refers to a wireless local area network where the wireless stations are typically stationary or fixed in a specific location or area. This type of WLAN is commonly found in homes, offices, or public places where the network is established with a central access point or router that connects all the devices. The infrastructure WLAN provides a stable and reliable network connection for the devices within its coverage area.

    Which one of the following is not an advantage of an infrastructure WLAN over an ad-hoc wireless network?

    • Portability

    • Scalability

    • Centralized

    • Security

    Correct Answer
    A. Portability
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Portability. An infrastructure WLAN provides the advantage of centralized management, allowing for easier network administration and control. It also offers scalability, meaning that it can be expanded and adapted to accommodate a larger number of devices. Additionally, an infrastructure WLAN typically offers better security measures compared to an ad-hoc wireless network. However, portability is not specifically an advantage of an infrastructure WLAN, as both infrastructure and ad-hoc networks can be portable depending on the setup and configuration.

    The central device in an infrastructure WLAN is a wireless __________.

    • Access-Point

    • Router

    • Bridge

    • Gateway

    Correct Answer
    A. Access-Point
    Explanation
    An access point is the central device in an infrastructure WLAN. It acts as a communication hub, allowing wireless devices to connect to the network and access resources. It is responsible for transmitting and receiving wireless signals, and it provides a connection between the wireless devices and the wired network infrastructure. The access point typically connects to a router or a switch to enable communication with other networks or the internet.

    Which one of the following is the topology of an infrastructure WLAN?

    • Star

    • Token-Ring

    • Bus

    • Ethernet

    Correct Answer
    A. Star
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Star". In an infrastructure WLAN, all devices are connected to a central device called an access point. This access point acts as a hub and coordinates the communication between the devices. The devices communicate with each other through the access point, forming a star-like network topology. This topology allows for efficient communication and easy management of the network.

    __________ mode devices are able to connect to each other whenever they are within each other's range as long as they agree to a few basic link parameters.

    • IBSS

    • BSS

    • ESS

    • IEEE

    Correct Answer
    A. IBSS
    Explanation
    IBSS stands for Independent Basic Service Set, which is a mode in wireless networking. In IBSS mode, devices can connect to each other directly without the need for a central access point. They can establish a network whenever they are within each other's range, as long as they agree on certain link parameters. This mode is commonly used in ad-hoc networks, where devices need to communicate with each other without relying on a centralized infrastructure.

  • 48. 

    Which one of the following is not a primary factor on how well a moving connection can remain linked to a WLAN?

    • Peer-to-peer

    • 802.11 roaming

    • Roaming configuration

    • Duration of the movement

    Correct Answer
    A. Peer-to-peer
    Explanation
    A peer-to-peer connection refers to a direct connection between two devices without the need for a central server. However, in the context of a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), peer-to-peer connections are not a primary factor in determining how well a moving connection can remain linked. Factors such as 802.11 roaming (the ability of a device to switch between different access points), roaming configuration (settings that determine how devices handle roaming), and the duration of the movement are more relevant in maintaining a stable connection while moving within a WLAN.

    Rate this question:

    Once the wireless device is associated with an access point and communicating, the device is no longer __________.

    • Roaming

    • Transmitting

    • Configured

    • Broken

    Correct Answer
    A. Roaming
    Explanation
    Once the wireless device is associated with an access point and communicating, the device is no longer roaming. Roaming refers to the ability of a device to connect to different access points as it moves between different areas. Once the device is associated with an access point, it has established a stable connection and is no longer in the process of roaming.
