Technical Focus:Technical Focus: Portable versus MobilePortable versus Mobile
In networking two terms are used to define nonstationary devices: portable and mobile.
The term portable means that a device may move from one location to another, but it remains in a fixed place when in use.
The term mobile means that the station can move during operation.

Technical Focus:Technical Focus: Hidden Node ProblemHidden Node Problem
In a wired Ethernet, when a station sends a frame, every station connected to the shared medium senses (hears) the signal; stations are not hidden (electronically) from each other. On the other hand, in a wireless network, two stations may be separated from each other by a physical barrier (such as a wall). They are hidden (electronically) from each other.
In this case, both of these stations may start sending a frame at the same time without sensing the signal coming from the other station. In other words, a collision may occur without either station detecting it. This means that the CSMA/CD access method, which is based on the detection of a collision by the sender, does not work here.

Technical Focus:Technical Focus: Wireless LAN AddressingWireless LAN Addressing
The addressing mechanism in a wireless LAN is more complicated than in a wired LAN. In a wireless LAN a frame may travel from a station to another station in the same BSS, or from a station in one BSS to another station in another BSS.
In the second case, the frame journey is made of three trips: from the source station to the AP of the source BSS, from the AP of the source BSS to the AP of the destination BSS, and from the AP of the destination BSS to the destination station.
For this reason, a wireless frame has four address fields.

Bluetooth was named after the king of Denmark, who triedto unite all of the Baltic Region countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland). He united Denmark and Norway, but was killed by his son in 986.
