5 Access Points Access point (AP) Provides wireless LAN devices with a point of access into a wired network AP parts Radio transceiver Antenna RJ-45 wired network interface port AP functions Wireless communications base station Bridge between the wireless and wired networks Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 9 Access Points (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 10 5

6 Access Points (continued) The range of an AP is approximately 115 meters Dynamic rate selection AP will automatically select the highest possible data rate for transmission Depending on the strength and quality of the signal An AP can generally support over 100 users Power over Ethernet (PoE) DC power is delivered to the AP through the unused wires in a standard UTP Ethernet cable Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 11 WLAN Modes Ad hoc mode Infrastructure mode Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 12 6

7 Ad Hoc Mode Also known as peer-to-peer mode Formal name: Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) mode Wireless clients communicate directly among themselves without using an AP Quick and easy setup of a wireless network Drawback is that wireless clients can only communicate among themselves Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 13 Ad Hoc Mode (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 14 7

8 Infrastructure Mode Also known as the Basic Service Set (BSS) Consists of wireless clients and an AP Extended Service Set (ESS) Two or more BSS wireless networks installed in same area Provides users with uninterrupted mobile access to the network All wireless clients and APs must be part of the same network For users to be able to roam freely Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 15 Infrastructure Mode (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 16 8

9 Infrastructure Mode (continued) Can be difficult to manage one large network Performance and security may also be adversely affected Subnets Network units that contain fewer computers In an ESS divided into subnets A mobile user might not be able to freely roam between APs Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 17 Wireless LAN Standards and Operation Most WLANs are based on these same initial IEEE standards Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 18 9

10 IEEE Standards standard Defines a local area network that provides cable-free data access for clients That are either mobile or in a fixed location At a rate of either 1 or 2 Mbps Using either diffused infrared or RF transmission Specifies that the features of a WLAN be transparent to the upper layers of the TCP/IP protocol stack Or the OSI protocol model Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 19 IEEE Standards (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 20 10

11 IEEE Infrared WLAN Standard IEEE standards outline the specifications for infrared as well as RF WLANs Infrared specification is based on diffused transmissions PHY layer sublayers Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) Physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 21 IEEE Infrared WLAN Standard (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 22 11

12 IEEE Infrared WLAN Standard (continued) Diffused infrared PHY layer convergence procedure standards Reformats the data received from the MAC layer Into a frame that the PMD sublayer can transmit Frame s size is not measured in bits but in time slots Start frame delimiter for infrared is always 1001 Data rate value determines transmission speed Direct current level adjustment Contains a pattern of infrared pulses Allows receiving device to determine the signal level Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 23 IEEE Infrared WLAN Standard (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 24 12

14 IEEE Infrared WLAN Standard (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 27 IEEE Infrared WLAN Standard (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 28 14

15 IEEE b Standard Added two higher speeds, 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps Specified RF and direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) as the only transmission technology Also known as Wi-Fi Physical layer Divided into two parts Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) Physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 29 IEEE b Standard (continued) Physical layer convergence procedure standards Based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) Must reformat the data received from the MAC layer into a frame that the PMD sublayer can transmit PLCP frame is made up of three parts: the preamble, the header, and the data Frame preamble and header are always transmitted at 1 Mbps Allows communication between slower and faster devices Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 30 15

16 IEEE b Standard (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 31 IEEE b Standard (continued) Physical medium dependent standards Translate the binary 1s and 0s of the frame into radio signals that can be used for transmission b standard uses the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band Specifies 14 available frequencies, beginning at GHz and incrementing by.005 GHz PMD can transmit the data at 11,5.5, 2,or 1 Mbps For transmissions at 1 Mbps, two-level differential binary phase shift key (DBPSK) is used Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 32 16

17 IEEE b Standard (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 33 IEEE b Standard (continued) Physical medium dependent standards (continued) Transmissions at 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps use differential quadrature phase shift keying To transmit at rates above 2 Mbps, Complementary Code Keying (CCK) is used A table containing 64 8-bit code words Media access control layer b Data Link layer consists of two sublayers Logical Link Control (LLC) Media Access Control (MAC) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 34 17

28 Distributed Coordination Function Rules (continued) Basic rules of communication in an network (continued) Size of a frame includes both the length of time necessary to send the data plus an SIFS After receiving an ACK, the transmitting client begins to wait a random backoff interval If the transmitting device does not receive an ACK within the SIFS It is allowed to maintain control of the medium If the frame was acknowledged correctly Transmitting device listens to the medium while waiting its backoff interval Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 55 Distributed Coordination Function Rules (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 56 28

29 Distributed Coordination Function Rules (continued) In the case of traffic in the medium Client A is using DSSS with a backoff interval of 3 While Client B has a backoff interval of only 2 Client A transmits its first frame Client B detects traffic and waits Both devices begin carrier sensing during second DIFS At the end, clients A and B begin their backoff interval Client B will finish its backoff interval before Client A Then begins transmitting its first packet Next time, client A will wait only for 1 interval Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 57 Distributed Coordination Function Rules (continued) Wireless# Guide to Wireless Communications 58 29
