What is a primary benefit of BSS coloring?

Question

Options

• ABSS color tags improve performance by allowing clients on the same channel to share airtime.
• BBSS color tags are applied to client devices and can reduce the threshold for interference
• CBSS color tags are applied to Wi-Fi channels and can reduce the threshold for interference
• DBSS color tags improve security by identifying rogue APs and removing them from the network.

• B

• C
  94% (29)
• D

Explanation

BSS coloring is a mechanism that helps identify the BSS Basic Service Set. A BSS is a set of interconnected stations that can communicate with each other. BSS can be an independent BSS or infrastructure BSS. An independent BSS is an ad hoc network that does not include APs, whereas the infrastructure BSS consists of an AP and all its associated clients. on the same channel and differentiate them from other BSS on the same channel. Each BSS is assigned a color code, which is a 6-bit value that is carried in the PHY header of the Wi-Fi frames. By using BSS coloring, the APs and clients can reduce the threshold for interference detection and avoid unnecessary backoff or retransmissions when they detect frames from other BSS with different colors. This can improve the spectral efficiency and throughput of the network. The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the primary benefit of BSS coloring.
