Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)

IEEE group published a standard for WLANs named as IEEE 802.11 (now known as IEEE 802.11n) Higher bit rates at 2.4GHz ISM band resulted in high-speed standard called the IEEE 802.11b (popularly known as Wi-Fi) Can be used to have an ad hoc network using peer-to-peer mode, Or, as a client/server wireless configuration (Infrastructure)

Ad hoc Client/server

IEEE 802.11

It is the standard for wireless LANs. It specifies MAC procedures and operate in 2.4

GHz range with data rate of 1Mbps or optionally 2Mbps.

User demand for higher bit rates and international availability of 2.4 GHz band has resulted in development of a high speed standard in the same carrier frequency range.

This standard called 802.11b, specifies a PHY layer providing a basic data rate of 11 Mbps and a fall-back rate of 5.5 Mbps.

IEEE 802.11

In the ad hoc network mode, as there is no central controller, the wireless access cards use the CSMA/CA protocol to resolve shared access of the channel. In the client/server configuration, many PCs and laptops, physically close to each other (20 to 500 meters), can be linked to a central hub [AP] A larger area can be covered by installing several APs The access points track movement of users and make decisions on whether to allow users to communicate WLAN cards could be operated in continuous aware mode (radio always on) and power saving polling mode (radio in sleep state to extend battery life)

IEEE 802.11 and variants

IEEE 802.11a With a throughput up to 54Mbps IEEE 802.11a operates on 5GHz It has less interference as compared to IEEE 802.11b/g since 2.4GHz band is heavily used Uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) with 52 subcarriers spanning over a 20MHz spectrum

IEEE 802.11b (WiFi) Operates on 2.4GHz band with throughput of up to11Mbps Direct-sequence spread spectrum DSSS on PHY layer

IEEE 802.11g Operates on 2.4G using either DSSS or OFDM Can achieve higher throughput of up to 54Mbps

IEEE 802.11n Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology Bandwidth can be 40MHz in 2.4GHz and 5GHz

Enhancement for IEEE 802.11 WLANs

The keys behind all the above networks are the wireless cards and wireless LAN access points

In an ad hoc network mode, there is no central controller, the wireless access cards use CSMA/CA protocol to resolve shared access

MAC layer access uses one of following methods: distributed coordination function (DCF), point coordination function (PCF), and hybrid coordination function (HCF)

DCF is carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) and senses the medium before sending frame

Enhancement for IEEE 802.11 WLANs

IEEE 802.11e working group has developed enhanced DCF (EDCF) so that the differentiated service could be provided

MSs with shorter AIFS have a higher priority to access channel than stations with longer AIFS

Two EDCF priority schemes: interframe space (IFS) priority scheme and contention window (CW) priority scheme

IFS priority scheme works better when the number of competing stations is large and can improve up to 50% for the real-time packets

Issues in MAC Protocol Challenges security related and support of multicast

and location management Many mobile applications require support for group

communication Location-based services include providing listings of

local restaurants or movie theaters, emergency services, and vehicle tracking

Scalability is a major concern to WLANs In client server model, many PC’s or laptops

physically close to each other (20-500m) can be linked to a central hub (access point) which acts as a bridge between the wireless and wired network

A large area can be covered by installing several access points in the building

Features of Hiper LAN/2

HiperLAN type 2 has been specifically developed to have a wired infrastructure

Type 1 has a distributed MAC with QoS provisions, whereas type 2 has a centralized scheduled MAC

Type 1 is based on Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK), whereas type 2 is based on OFDM

HiperLAN/2 automatically performs handoff to the nearest AP which is basically a radio BS that covers an area of about 30 to 150 meters

Features of Hiper LAN/2

The goals of HiperLAN are: QoS (to build multiservice networks) Strong security Handoff when moving between local area and wide areas Increased throughput Ease of use, deployment, and maintenance Affordability Scalability

The connection oriented approach makes support for QoS easy It supports automatic frequency allocation, eliminating the need

for manual frequency planning as in cellular networks

HomeRF

Two kind of networks: HomeRF (for home), Hiper LAN (for business workspace).

43 million US homes now contain more than one PC. A home network typically consists of one high speed

internet access port providing data to multiple networked nodes.

Home networking allows all computers in a home to simultaneously utilize the same high speed ISP (Internet Service Provider) account.

Home networking allows two options: wired solution and wireless solution.

HomeRF Technology

In HomeRF all the devices can share the same connections for voice and data

Provides the foundation for a broad range of interoperable consumer devices

A specification for wireless communications in the home called Shared Wireless Access Protocol (SWAP) has been developed

Home RF Network

A network consists of Resource providers, which are gateways to different resources like cordless phones, printers, fileservers and TV.

The goal of Home RF is to integrate all of them in to a single Network suitable for all applications and also remove all wires and utilize RF links in the network.

This will support the mobility of devices. With Home RF, cordless phone can connect to

PSTN ordinarily, but can also connect through a PC for enhanced services.

Wireless Personal Area Network

Bluetooth initially conceived to replace RS232 cables, is the only WPAN technology to be commercially available

Since 2002, its presence has become visible in devices ranging from laptops to wireless mouse to cameras, to headsets, to printers and cell phones

IEEE 802.15.x protocols to address needs of WPANs with varied data rates

Bluetooth has adopted as IEEE 802.15.1 (medium rate) while the IEEE 802.15.3 (high rate) and 802.15.4 (low rate) are also available

Bluetooth It is named after the King of Denmark that unified

different factions in Christianity through the country. It is a short range RF communication. Low cost, low power, radio based wireless link

eliminates the need for short cable. Bluetooth radio technology built into both the cellular

telephone and the laptop would replace the cable used today to connect a laptop to cellular phone.

Printers, desktops can all be wireless. It also provides a universal bridge to existing data

networks. 42

Architecture

Bluetooth radio typically hops faster and uses shorter packets as compared to other systems operating in the same frequency band.

Use of FEC (Forward Error Correction) limits the impact of random noise.

As the interference increases, the performance decreases.

Architecture (cont’d) Bluetooth devices can interact with other Bluetooth devices. One of the devices acts as a master and others as slaves. This network is called “Piconet”. A single channel is shared among all devices in Piconet. There can be up to seven active slaves in the Piconet. Each of the active slaves has an assigned 3 bit Active Member

address. A lot of other slaves can remain synchronized to the Master

through remaining inactive slaves, referred to as parked nodes. A parked device remains synchronized to the master clock and

can become active and start communicating in the Piconet anytime.

Architecture (cont’d)

If Piconets are close to each other, they have overlapping areas

The scenario where the nodes of two or more Piconets mingle is called Scatternet

Before any connections in the Piconet are created all devices are in STDBY mode

In this mode an unconnected unit periodically “listens” for message every 1.28 seconds

Each times a device wakes up, it tunes on the set of 32 hop frequencies defined for that unit
