wireless communicating without connecting wires or other material contacts wireless (networking)A term describing a computer network wherethere is no physical connection (either copper cable or fibre optics) between sender and receiver, but instead they areconnected by radio.
Applications for wireless networks include multi-partyteleconferencing, distributed work sessions, personal digital assistants, and electronic newspapers. They includethe transmission of voice, video, images, and data, eachtraffic type with possibly differing bandwidth andquality-of-service requirements. The wireless networkcomponents of a complete source-destination path requiresconsideration of mobility, hand-off, and varyingtransmission and bandwidth conditions. The wired/wirelessnetwork combination provides a severe bandwidth mismatch, aswell as vastly different error conditions. The processingcapability of fixed vs. mobile terminals may be expected todiffer significantly. This then leads to such issues to beaddressed in this environment as admission control,capacity assignment and hand-off control in the wirelessdomain, flow and error control over the complete end-to-endpath, dynamic bandwidth control to accommodate bandwidthmismatch and/or varying processing capability.
Usenet newsgroup news:comp.std.wireless.wirelessTransmission through the air. Although all forms of radio transmission over the air (AM, FM, TV, cordless phones, cellphones, etc.) are naturally wireless, there is a tendency for the term to refer only to Wi-Fi or to cellular data services. For example, a cellular provider may call its extra-cost data service wireless, although its voice service is obviously wireless as well.
Wireless Light Too The word "wireless" is also used in optical communication systems that transmit light pulses over the air (see optical wireless communication). See radio, Wi-Fi, cellular generations and wireless glossary.
