2 Mobile Communications Chapter 4: Wireless LANs Characteristics IEEE PHY MAC Roaming.11a, b, g, n, e, i, k, s Bluetooth

3 Characteristics of Wireless LANs Advantages Very flexible within the reception area Ad-hoc networks without previous planning possible (almost) no wiring difficulties (e.g. historic buildings, firewalls) More robust against disasters like, e.g., earthquakes, fire - or users pulling a plug... WiFi alliance helped the acceptance to take place (profiling the standard) a/b/g/n is now worldwide accepted Today a very active community extends the standards into several further direction (e.g ad, ac Gigabit WLAN) Disadvantages Many proprietary solutions, especially for higher bit-rates, standards take their time; its not only the standard but both the standard and the profile that is necessary for interoperability Products have to follow many national restrictions if working wireless, it takes a very long time to establish global solutions like, e.g., IMT-2000 From the early stage of idea to the introduction typically years are needed Chapter 4 Page 179

4 Design Goals for Wireless LANs Global, seamless operation Frequency regulation Low power for battery use Design of HW/SW, special protocol options Sleep Modes; Dynamic Power Adaptation No special permissions or licenses needed to use the LAN ISM bands (industry, scientific and medical) Robust transmission technology Signal processing techniques; access mechanisms; e.g OFDM and CSMA/CA Simplified spontaneous cooperation at meetings Ad-Hoc Mode ; Meshed network Easy to use for everyone, simple management Protection of investment in wired networks Security (no one should be able to read my data), privacy (no one should be able to collect user profiles), safety (low radiation), reliability, QoS Additional standards and regulations (e.g i; 802.e, 802.h) Transparency concerning applications and higher layer protocols, but also location awareness if necessary IEEE802.2; IP protocols Triangulation, Fingerprints etc. Chapter 4 Page 180

5 Early system considerations: Infrared vs. Radio Transmission Infrared Uses IR diodes, diffuse light, multiple reflections (walls, furniture etc.) Advantages Simple, cheap, available in many mobile devices No licenses needed Simple shielding possible Very fast (up to 1Gb/s) Disadvantages Interference by sunlight, heat sources etc. Many things shield or absorb IR light Example IrDA (Infrared Data Association) interface available everywhere Radio Typically using the license free ISM band at 2.4 GHz (5.2 GHz, 17 GHz, 60 GHz) Advantages Experience from wireless WAN and mobile phones can be used Coverage of larger areas possible (radio can penetrate walls, furniture etc.) Disadvantages Very limited license free frequency bands Shielding more difficult, interference with other electrical devices Example WiFi-WLAN, WaveLAN, HIPERLAN, Bluetooth Chapter 4 Page 181

15 Possible options for convergence ISO OSI reference model Option A: Convergence mechanisms at the network layer (or above) Option B: Convergence below the network layer and above the technologydependent MAC layers Option C: Common and generic MAC layer for all technologies J.-P.

Isson, Inter-MAC concept for Gigabit Home Networks, 20th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC'09), Tokyo, 13. Sept Chapter 4 Page 191

16 Invention of a new protocol layer: OSI 2.5 In Option C we can hide all technology and low layer protocol specifics within a new domain: the OMEGA network Routing, Error handling, QoS-issues, Handover (vertical and horizontal) are performed within the OMEGA network. A client has only one IP-Address and one logical service delivery point All physical details are hidden and mostly automatically addressed by the OMEGA engines The interface to the higher layer is identical to IEEE802.2 such that no changes to current network services is needed Legacy devices can be connected and legacy packet are encapsulated into OMEGA frames For a legacy device the OMEGA network looks like a distributed switch Chapter 4 Page 192

24 MAC Layer I Distributed Foundation Wireless MAC (DFWMAC) Traffic services Asynchronous Data Service (mandatory) Implemented using the DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) Exchange of data packets based on best-effort Support of broadcast and multicast Time-Bounded Service (optional) Implemented using PCF (Point Coordination Function) Access methods DFWMAC DCF CSMA/CA (mandatory) Collision avoidance via randomized back-off mechanism Minimum distance between consecutive packets ACK packet for acknowledgements (not for broadcasts, multicasts) DFWMAC-DCF w/ RTS/CTS (optional) Avoids (limits) hidden terminal problem DFWMAC- PCF (optional) Access point polls terminals according to a list Chapter 4 Page 200

25 MAC Layer II Priorities Defined through different inter frame spaces No guaranteed, hard priorities The shorter the minimal wait-time the higher the priority SIFS (Short Inter Frame Spacing) Highest priority, for ACK, CTS, polling response PIFS (PCF IFS) Medium priority, for time-bounded service using PCF DIFS (DCF IFS) Lowest priority, for asynchronous data service SIFS, PIFS and DIFS depend on the detailed physical layer used DIFS DIFS medium busy PIFS SIFS contention next frame direct access if medium is free DIFS Chapter 4 Page 201 t

26 CSMA/CA Access Method I DIFS DIFS contention window (randomized back-off mechanism) medium busy direct access if medium is free DIFS slot time next frame t Station ready to send starts sensing the medium (Carrier Sense based on CCA, Clear Channel Assessment) If the medium is free for the duration of (at least) one Inter-Frame Space (IFS), the station can start sending (IFS depends on service type) If the medium is busy, the station has to wait for at least one free IFS, then the station has additionally to wait for a random back-off time (collision avoidance, multiple of slot-time) If another station occupies the medium during the back-off time of the station, the back-off timer stops (fairness) Chapter 4 Page 202

27 Determining Backoff-Time in variing load situations The number of backoff-slots is set to 8 by default If the number of slots is too low (high load situation) the probability that two or more station choose the same backoff number the collision causes a non successful transmission the number of slots is doubled up to 128 slots If the number of slots is too high (low load situation) The probability that stations choose a high number becomes high The waiting period until transmission starts is waisted time and resource The number of slots is halved to reduce possible waist Chapter 4 Page 203

29 Accessing the Medium CSMA/CD station A CRS defer station B CRS station C CRS defer CRS collision Adapters that can detect collisions (e.g. Ethernet adapters) Carrier Sensing: listen to the media to determine if it is free Initiate transmission as soon as carrier drops When collision is detected station defers When defer timer expires: repeat carrier sensing and start transmission Chapter 4 Page 205

30 Accessing the Medium CSMA/CA station A station B CRS defer station C CRS defer defer CRS CRS Wireless LAN adapters cannot detect collisions: Carrier Sensing - listen to the media to determine if it is free Collision Avoidance - minimize chance for collision by starting (random) back-off timer, when medium is sensed free, and prior to transmission Chapter 4 Page 206

32 CSMA/CA Access Method II Sending unicast packets Station has to wait for DIFS before sending data Receivers acknowledge at once (after waiting for SIFS) if the packet was received correctly (CRC) Automatic retransmission of data packets in case of transmission errors sender DIFS data receiver SIFS ACK other stations waiting time DIFS contention data t Chapter 4 Page 208

33 DFWMAC Sending unicast packets Station can send RTS with reservation parameter after waiting for DIFS (reservation determines amount of time the data packet needs the medium) Acknowledgement via CTS after SIFS by receiver (if ready to receive) Sender can now send data at once, acknowledgement via ACK Other stations store medium reservations distributed via RTS and CTS sender receiver DIFS RTS SIFS CTS SIFS data SIFS ACK other stations NAV (RTS) NAV (CTS) defer access DIFS contention data t Chapter 4 Page 209

36 PCF versus Infrastructure The PCF and DCF mode address the PHY-Layer operation of the WLAN Infrastructure- and Ad-Hoc-Mode address the network topology It is possible to run PCF in an Ad-Hoc network to achieve quality of service operation It is possible (and that is the most usual case) to run DCF operation in Infrastructure Mode Chapter 4 Page 212

48 Scanning Scanning required for many functions finding and joining a network finding a new AP while roaming (better hand-over) initializing an Independent BSS (ad hoc) network MAC uses a common mechanism for all PHY single or multi channel passive or active scanning Passive Scanning Find networks simply by listening for Beacons Active Scanning On each channel Send a Probe, Wait for a Probe Response Beacon or Probe Response contains information necessary to join new network Chapter 4 Page 224

49 Active Scanning Example Initial connection to an Access Point Reassociation follows a similar process Steps to Association: Station sends Probe APs send Probe Response Station selects best AP Station sends Association Request to selected AP AP sends Association Response Chapter 4 Page 225

50 Roaming No or bad connection? Then perform: Scanning Scan the environment, i.e., listen into the medium for beacon signals or send probes into the medium and wait for an answer Reassociation Request Station sends a request to one or several AP(s) Reassociation Response Success: AP has answered, station can now participate Failure: continue scanning AP accepts Reassociation Request Signal the new station to the distribution system The distribution system updates its data base (i.e., location information) Typically, the distribution system now informs the old AP so it can release resources Chapter 4 Page 226

55 WLAN: IEEE e Scope Extension of standard MAC layer functionality in order to provide QoS Necessary for delay sensitive applications (e.g. A/V Streaming) Dates and Facts Published in 2005 Now part of IEEE Complies to WMM certificate of WiFi alliance Legacy MAC DCF mandatory (RTS/CTS optional) PCF optional (better than DCF regarding QoS but still no guarantees) Best effort design e MAC EDCF/EDCA and HCF/HCCA Prioritization in EDCF Required for Prioritized QoS Services Required for Contention- Free Services for non-qos STA, optional otherwise MAC Extend Chapter 4 Page 231 Point Coordination Function (PCF) Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF) HCF Contention Access (EDCA) HCF Controlled Access (HCCA) Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) Required for Parameterized QoS Services Used for Contention Services, basis for PCF and HCF IEEE MAC Layer (Src: , p. 251) Key Concept TXOP (Transmission opportunity) EDCA TXOP contention-based channel access TXOP HCCA TXOP HCF controlled channel access TXOP Hybrid Coordinator (HC) Centralized; higher prioritized access than EDCF

56 IEEE e EDCA I Prioritization through 4 Access Categories (ACs) Each MSDU is mapped to one AC Each AC has its own queue and its own parameter set to contend for TXOP Parameter Set is given by AP (or default if not) and consists of: Individual AIFS (Arbitrary IFS): AIFS DIFS Individual CW (Contention Window) to generate random backoff counter Priority UP AC Description Lowest 1 AC_BK Background 2 AC_BK Background 0 AC_BE Best Effort 3 AC_BE Best Effort 4 AC_VI Video 5 AC_VI Video 6 AC_VO Voice Highest 7 AC_VO Voice (MSDU, UP) Mapping to Access Category Transmit queues for ACs Per-queue EDCA functions with Internal collision resolution Concept of e MAC layer to provide prioritization: Different queues for each priority (Src: , p. 287) Chapter 4 Page 232

57 IEEE e EDCA II Internal collision: backoff counters of two or more ACs get 0 simultaneously Solution: higher prioritized AC gets TXOP (TXOP = time interval to send data) AC(s) that lost contention react like collision would be external (on wireless medium) External collision: backoff counters of two or more stations get 0 simultaneously Solution: CW is increased next backoff counter will be higher e EDCA: At least a station has to wait for AIFS=DIFS before it is allowed to count down its backoff. (Src: , p. 258) Chapter 4 Page 233

58 IEEE e HCCA I HCF (Hybrid coordination function) Only usable in infrastructure QoS network configurations To be used during both the contention period (CP) and the contention free period (CFP) Uses a QoS-aware point coordinator ( hybrid coordinator ) by default collocated with the enhanced access point (QAP) uses the point coordinator's higher priority (PIFS < DIFS) to allocate transmission opportunities (TXOPs) to stations (AIFS DIFS) Meets predefined service rate, delay and/or jitter requirements of particular traffic flows Caused long delays in standardization process due to its complexity Chapter 4 Page 234

59 IEEE e Conclusions Legacy MAC vs e MAC Multiplexing of CPs and CFPs is flexible in e whereas it was fixed in legacy standard In e HC sends periodically beacon frames like in legacy standard stations still have to register by HC in CP in order to get part of polling list that is one reason why duration of CFP is bounded in e, too In e prioritized (EDCA) and parameterized (HCCA) QoS is provided Remaining Problem: Additional effort is necessary if several BSS/QBSS in overlapping physical space Chapter 4 Page 236
