- Beacon frames are part of the IEEE 802.11 wireless network protocol. Beacon Frames are frames that have control information and are transmitted in each of the 11 channels and help a wireless station to identify nearby wireless access points (AP) in passive scanning mode. They tell the stations in the Basic Service Set (BSS) about the existence of the network. They can also be transmitted by the AP for polling purposes. The Beacon Frame sent by the AP contains control information and can be used by Mobile stations to locate an AP if it is on active scanning mode
- frame
- The basic unit of communication between two N_Ports Frames are composed of a starting delimiter (SOF), a header, the payload, the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), and an ending delimiter (EOF) The SOF and EOF contain the Special Character and are used to indicate where the frame begins and ends The 24-byte header contains information about the frame, including the S_ID, D_ID, routing information, the type of data contained in the payload, and sequence/exchange management information The payload contains the actual data to be transmitted, and may be 0-2112 bytes in length The CRC is a 4-byte field used for detecting bit errors in the received frame
