Developing the IoT through Wireless Communication Networks: Analysis of Topologies
Javier Bilbao · International Journal of Biosensors & Bioelectronics · 2017
Standard structure of Wi-Fi networks is usually a communication manager and a number of clients.In this basic system, clients will always listen for the presence of one or more managers who tell them, among other information, the name of the network that they manage, the channel to use, the security and available authentication algorithms, etc. Nowadays, wireless networks can be classified into two general categories: infrastructure-based wireless networks and infrastructure-less wireless networks, or more commonly, ad hoc wireless networks.Different topologies can be used with any purpose of communication among a network of nodes and in this paper several of them are analyzed.
