Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of connecting and disconnecting from the access points (APs) in a path while actively using a network while roaming in an extended service set (ESS) is called handoff. Handoff is necessary to maintain a continuous connection and ensure seamless roaming between APs. MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) refers to a technology used to increase wireless network performance, switching refers to the process of moving traffic from one network to another, and nomadic refers to a type of wireless device that can move between different networks without interruption. None of these terms specifically describe the process of connecting and disconnecting from APs while roaming in an ESS.
