Communication with an Access Point (infrastructure)
An infrastructure network is one that extends an existing wired local network to wireless devices by providing an access
point. The access point bridges the wireless and wired LAN and acts as a central controller for the Wireless LAN. The access
point coordinates transmission and reception from multiple wireless devices within a specific range.
