FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -In ad hoc mode, 802.11 transceivers can communicate directly with each other, without the need for an access point in range. Although most 802.11 transceivers support the ad hoc mode, infrastructure mode is mostly used.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ad-Hoc Node (Mesh) Some wireless devices (laptops, smart phones, or wireless routers) support a mode called Ad-Hoc. This allows those devices to connect together directly, without an Access Point in-between controlling the connection.

Detailed explanation-3: -802.11 wireless clients connect to an access point in managed mode (also called client mode). Once connected, clients communicate with the access point only; they cannot directly communicate with other clients. Master mode (also called infrastructure mode) is the mode used by wireless access points.

Detailed explanation-4: -A peer-to-peer (P2P) network allows wireless devices to directly communicate with each other. Wireless devices within range of each other can discover and communicate directly, without involving central access points.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ad-hoc mode refers to a wireless network structure where devices can communicate directly with each other. It is an additional feature that is specified in the 802.11 set of standards, which is referred to as an independent basic service set (IBSS). This type of wireless network is also called peer-to-peer mode.
