Wireless Fundamentals Introducing Wireless Networks and Topologies Wireless Today First wireless transmission in 1870 Proprietary solutions in 900-MHz band in 1980s Use of ISM band starts early 1990 Deployed today in multiple environments (outdoor links, mesh networks, office buildings, healthcare, warehouse, home) Wireless Usage and Topologies Wireless Personal Area Network WPANs provide connectivity in a personal area. Links are usually peer to peer or small networks. Applications range from simple (remote control) to complex (voice). WPANs meet the need for ease of use, low cost, and portability. Bluetooth is a typical example, running in 2.4 GHz. Wireless LAN Range larger than WPAN, spectrum 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz More power required Multiple users expected Designed to be flexible Wireless Metro Area Network Backbone or user coverage applications Usually in licensed bands Unlicensed bands possible but interference issues Wireless WAN Large coverage areas Issues: bandwidth and number of users Cost based on usage duration or amount of information transmitted Ad Hoc Networks Independent BasicService Set (IBSS) Exists as soon astwo wireless devices communicate Limited in numberof devices due tocollision and organization issues Infrastructure Mode The AP functions as a translational bridge between 802.3 wired media and 802.11 wireless media. Wireless is a half-duplex environment. BSA = wireless cell. BSS is the service provided by the AP. Infrastructure Mode (Cont.) Service Set Identifier Workgroup Bridge A WGB provides wireless connection from Ethernet port. Several devices can benefit if the WGB is connected to a hub or a switch. Repeaters Outdoor Wireless Bridges Extend the LAN by linking LANs Usually a few miles range Point to point or hub and spoke Mesh Networks Devices are connected with redundant connection between nodes; no single point of failure Summary The wireless revolution started 10 years ago with the first protocols.
