1.3 Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output
ORiNOCO Access Point devices support Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna technology that uses multiple antennas at both the transmitting end and receiving end to improve communication performance. The underlying technology of these access point radio(s) are based on a combination of MIMO and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). MIMO-OFDM combination radios solve interference, fading and multipath problems. Having multiple receivers

ORiNOCO 802.11n Access Points - Hardware Installation Guide

Introduction at the receiving end, increases the amount of received power and also reduces multipath problems by combining the received signals for each frequency component separately. Hence, MIMO significantly improves the overall gain. MIMO also uses Spatial multiplexing transmission technique to transmit independent and separately encoded data signals from each of the multiple transmit antennas while reusing or multiplexing in the space dimension. These independent data signals are called Spatial streams. The transmitting end of the device uses multiple radio Tx chains and signal paths to simultaneously transmit different data streams, whereas the receiving end combines the Rx signals resulting in higher throughput. By increasing the number of receiving and transmitting antennas, the throughput of the channel increases linearly resulting in high spectral efficiency.

Glossary A Access point

A wireless network transceiver or base station hub, often used to connect a local area network to one or more wireless devices. An access point (also called AP) can provide a communication link to a wired local area network also. It is a symmetric-key encryption standard, containing three block ciphers AES-128, AES-192, AES-256. Each of these ciphers has a 128-bit block size, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively. D

Dual-band refers to a device's ability to function on two different frequency bands. H

HTTP/HTTPS

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol to transport Web pages. When you access the Internet with your browser, the HTTP protocol is used for data transport (http://www.Tsunamiwireless.com). When you access the unit by using the Web Interface, HTTP is used to transport the information. HTTPS is the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol. M

Management Information Base (MIB)

A Management Information Base (MIB) is a formal description of a set of network objects that can be managed with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). A MIB can be loaded by a management application so that it knows the unit specific objects. O

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)

OFDM is a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) scheme, a method of encoding digital data on multiple carrier frequencies. A large number of closely spaced orthogonal sub-carrier signals are used to carry data. The data is divided into several parallel data streams/channels, one for each sub-carrier, maintaining total data rates similar to conventional single-carrier modulation schemes in the same bandwidth.

TCP / IP

The TCP/IP internet-suite protocol describes a set of general design guidelines and implementations of specific networking protocols to enable computers to communicate over a network. TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. Telnet is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to access the command-line interface, on a remote host. Most network equipment and operating systems with a TCP/IP stack support a Telnet service for remote configuration. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a lightweight protocol for transferring files that is like a simple form of File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A TFTP client is implemented on the unit. By using the upload and download commands, the unit can copy a file to or from a TFTP server. V
