Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux
OL-1367-02
MIC
Message integrity check. MIC prevents bit-flip attacks on encrypted packets. During a bit-flip attack,
an intruder intercepts an encrypted message, alters it slightly, and retransmits it, and the receiver
accepts the retransmitted message as legitimate. The client adapters driver and firmware must support
MIC functionality, and MIC must be enabled on the access point.
Modulation
Any of several techniques for combining user information with a transmitters carrier signal.
Multicast Packets
Packets transmitted to multiple stations.
Multipath
The echoes created as a radio signal bounces off of physical objects.
O
Overrun Packets
Packets that were discarded because the access point had a temporary overload of packets to handle.
P
Packet
A basic message unit for communication across a network. A packet usually includes routing
information, data, and sometimes error detection information.
Q
Quadruple Phase
Shift Keying
A modulation technique used by IEEE 802.11-compliant wireless LANs for transmission at 2 Mbps.
R
Radio Channel
The frequency at which a radio operates.
Range
A linear measure of the distance that a transmitter can send a signal.
Receiver Sensitivity
A measurement of the weakest signal a receiver can receive and still correctly translate it into data.
RF
Radio frequency. A generic term for radio-based technology.
Roaming
A feature of some access points that allows users to move through a facility while maintaining an
unbroken connection to the LAN.
RP-TNC
A connector type unique to Cisco Aironet radios and antennas. Part 15.203 of the FCC rules covering
spread spectrum devices limits the types of antennas that may be used with transmission equipment. In
compliance with this rule, Cisco Aironet, like all other wireless LAN providers, equips its radios and
antennas with a unique connector to prevent attachment of non-approved antennas to radios.
RTS Threshold
The packet size at which an access point will issue a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet.
