What is an AIFS?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A Reassociation Request frame is sent every time a STA roams from one AP to another within the same ESS. A Reassociation Request frame is similar to an Association Request frame, but it also contains the BSSID of the current AP that the STA is leaving. This allows the new AP to coordinate with the old AP and transfer the STA's context information, such as security keys, QoS parameters, and buffered frames. This way, the STA can maintain its connectivity and session continuity during roaming .

I'm gonna go with B. Although, to be honest, I'm just guessing. Who even remembers all these 802.11 amendments and their arcane details?

Clearly, the answer is B. I can't believe they're actually testing us on this obscure 802.11e stuff. Next, they'll be asking about TXOPs and EDCA parameters!

I'm confused. The question asks about an AIFS, but the options mention 802.11n, 802.11e, and PHY layer aggregation. What do these have to do with an AIFS?

Option B sounds like the correct answer. The AIFS is a variable Interframe Space introduced in 802.11e to prioritize medium access for different Access Categories.
