In the PCF mode, the
Access Point will
coordinate (= regulate)
the access to the
transmission medium:
- Base station:
- A base station
maintains a
list of
nodes that is
associated with the
base station
(The registration protocol will be explained later)
- A base station
maintains a
list of
nodes that is
associated with the
base station
- Initial operational mode of
a node that
starts up:
- When a node in
IEEE 802.11 first
starts up:
- The node will operate in the Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF) mode
We will discuss the DCF mode later....
