The wireless network are implemented using one of three wireless topology:
- The infrastructure wireless topology
- The Ad Hoc wireless topology
- The mesh wireless topology
What is infrastructure wireless topology?
It is used to extend wire LAN to include wireless devices.Wireless devices communicate with LAN through a base station known as access point 'AP'.Any transmission between wireless devices and LAN go through AP . AP is part of wired infrastructure network.
What is Ad Hoc wireless topology?
In Ad Hoc topolopy, Devices communicate directly without using access point.It used for small number of wireless devices.
What is the different between ad hoc topology and infrastructure topology?
Ad Hoc topology does not use an AP . All wireless devices connect directly to each other.while , In the infrastructure wireless topology , devices use APs to connect each other.
What is Mesh wireless topology?
Each network node interconnect to other node on the network.while the links are wireless.It expends the distance by relaying the signal from one computer to another.Wireless mesh is created through the connection of wireless access point.
- Scalable
- Low cost
Conclusion
In this article we took about network wireless topology. There are a lot of network wired topology .
