Description: This video is a part of wireless LAN video series and is on wireless LAN state machine. It starts with the WiFi jargons, and explains the basic stuff like AP, Station, SSID, Infrastructure mode, Adhoc mode, authentication etc terms commonly encountered in IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN domain. There are 3 states in WiFi state machine and these 3 states are derived from the two state variables viz. authentication and association variable. In this video all these states and the possible state transitions are explained in detail.
Which exact frames are involved in transferring from one state to another is the topic for next video.
This video series is a tutorial for IEEE 802.11 protocol suite, commonly knows as Wi-Fi. In this video series, you will find videos explaining the basic 802.11 standard and their other amendments like 802.11a, 802.11g, 80211h, 802.11i, 802.11w, 802.11n, 802.11e etc. There are videos dedicated to security in wifi protocols, the different packets and state machine of 802.11 protocol and many more such things. We have tried to make this video series more interactive than just informative. You will find lots of discussions over the issues in 802.11 and justification for many small features in 802.11. Feel free to pose your own problems in the comment section and we will try to capture them in next videos. This section is currently under construction, so keep watching for new content.Tags: basics ,
