3-MBPS WIRELESS ETHERNET HUBS, ADAPTERS, AND BRIDGES
Mobility Mode
Wireless stations may be used in three different
Mobility Modes:
Mobile
The station moves while operating in the network.
Portable
The station is sometimes moved but usually it
operates from a static environment.
Stationary
The station does not move.
The Wireless Ethernet stations will optimize their
roaming algorithms according to the mobility mode
parameter. For example, a stationary station is more
tolerant of bad propagation conditions, and assumes
that they are probably temporary and not caused by a
station changing position. To start a roaming
procedure in such a case might be counter-
productive.
