These is a term that have have been using for several years in a classroom environment when referencing a number of WLAN topics such as CSMA/CA, co-channel interference, etc.

I shared it with Joel and some others a couple of weeks ago on Twitter and I thought I would post it here as well:

Contention domain: a physical area where multiple STAs compete for access on the half-duplex medium of a single frequency.

I've been pushing the 'Collision Domain' concept in my classes for years now. So many folks don't understand the 'hub'ness of Access Points.

I started using 'Contention Domain' this week instead. Perhaps more folks with 'Get It' this way.

I'm pushing to get it into the WiFi Lexicon!

Thanks Mr. Multipath

By the way - I also liked your pic of Devin & friends

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
