10 IEEE a Data rate q 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbit/s, depending on SNR q User throughput (1500 byte packets): 5.3 (6), 18 (24), 24 (36), 32 (54) q 6, 12, 24 Mbit/s mandatory Transmission range q 100m outdoor, 10m indoor Frequency l E.g., 54 Mbit/s up to 5 m, 48 up to 12 m, 36 up to 25 m, 24 up to 30m, 18 up to 40 m, 12 up to 60 m q Free 5 GHz ISM-band Special Advantages/Disadvantages q Advantage: fits into 802.x standards, free ISM-band, available, simple system, uses less crowded 5 GHz band q Disadvantage: stronger shading due to higher frequency 10

18 Binary Exponential Backoff q Stations choose their backoff time randomly from contention window q Ideal contention window size is trade-of between acceptable load and experienced delay q Initial contention window size (CW min ) is 7 slots (backoff time between 0 and 7) q After collision (no ack), contention window is doubled until CW max = 255 is reached: 7 -> 15 -> 31 -> 63 -> 127 ->

19 CSMA/CA access method (DCF) II q Sending unicast packets q station has to wait for DIFS before sending data q receivers acknowledge at once (after waiting for SIFS) if the packet was received correctly (CRC) q automatic retransmission of data packets in case of transmission errors sender receiver other stations DIFS data SIFS waiting time ACK DIFS contention data t 19

20 CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS q Sending unicast packets q station can send RTS with reservation parameter after waiting for DIFS (reservation determines amount of time the data packet needs the medium) q acknowledgement via CTS after SIFS by receiver (if ready to receive) q sender can now send data at once, acknowledgement via ACK q other stations store medium reservations distributed via RTS and CTS sender DIFS RTS data receiver SIFS CTS SIFS SIFS ACK other stations NAV (RTS) NAV (CTS) defer access DIFS contention data t 20
