Which technique is used in 802.11g APs to reduce the possibility of collisions when legacy 802.11b devices are within range? a. OFDM b. Changes to the PLCP frame format c. CTS-to-Self d. ACS - ANSWERSc. CTS-to-Self The maximum mandatory rate of an IEEE 802.11a WLAN, according to the standard, is ____________. a. 11 Mbps b. 24 Mbps c. 54 Mbps d. 108 Mbps - ANSWERSc. 54 Mbps The most important change made to the MAC layer of 802.11a was ___________. a. To make the frame shorter b. To increase security c. To make the frames longer for efficiency d. None of the above - ANSWERSd. None of the above IEEE 802.11a achieves its increase in speed and flexibility over 802.11b by each of the following except ____________. a. Higher frequency b. Using less bandwidth c. More transmission channels d. A new multiplexing technique - ANSWERSd. A new multiplexing technique The Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) band operates in the ______________ frequency band. a. 2.4 GHz b. 33 GHz
c. 5 GHz d. 16 KHz - ANSWERSc. 5 GHz The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has segmented the 555 MHz of the original U-NII spectrum into four segments or bands. True or False? - ANSWERSTrue All 5 GHz bands are available for use by WLANs worldwide. True or False? - ANSWERSFalse Although such devices as 2.4 GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens, and Bluetooth devices may cause interference problems with 802.11b networks in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, they are not a problem with 802.11a. True or False? - ANSWERSTrue Each frequency channel in an 802.11a WLAN is 20MHz wide and is divided into ___________ subcarriers that are modulated with data. a. 56 b. 114 c. 52 d. 48 - ANSWERSc. 52 Although 802.11n can achieve data rates of 300 Mbps when using 40 MHz of bandwidth in the ISM band, one of the main challenges of deploying a WLAN in this frequency range is ______________. a. Intersymbol interference b. Co-channel interference on channel 6 c. Excessive multipath interference on channels 1 and 11 d. Interference from the U-NII band - ANSWERSb. Co-channel interference on channel 6 How many pilot carriers are available to help evaluate the quality of the signal in 802.11n in the U-NII band when using 40 MHz of bandwidth by bonding two channels? a. 4 b. 2 c. 6 d. 8 - ANSWERSc. 6 One of the reasons that 802.11n achieves a higher throughput is that it bonds two ISM or U-NII channels. Another important reason is that it ____________. a. Eliminates multipath interference b. Uses antenna diversity c. Can transmit using multiple spatial streams
Because 802.11ac uses essentially the same transmission technology as 802.11n, which of the following is the main reason for its increased throughput? a. A more efficient protocol b. The signal strength is higher c. It does not suffer from interference at all d. It can use wider frequency channels divided into more subcarriers - ANSWERSd. It can use wider frequency channels divided into more subcarriers Which of the following is a reason that 802.11a is more efficient than 802.11g when both operate at the same data rate? a. 802.11a does not have to support legacy devices b. 802.11a devices can handle more data c. 802.11a equipment is more sophisticated and expensive d. 802.11a encoding is more efficient - ANSWERSa. 802.11a does not have to support legacy devices
