IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard Chapter 14 IEEE 802 Protocol Layers Protocol Architecture Functions of physical layer: Encoding/decoding of signals Preamble generation/removal (for synchronization) Bit transmission/reception Includes specification of the transmission medium Protocol Architecture Functions of medium access control (MAC) layer: On transmission, assemble data into a frame with address and error detection fields On reception, disassemble frame and perform address recognition and error detection Govern access to the LAN transmission medium Functions of logical link control (LLC) Layer: Provide an interface to higher layers and perform flow and error control Separation of LLC and MAC The logic required to manage access to a shared-access medium not found in traditional layer 2 data link control For the same LLC, several MAC options may be provided MAC Frame Format MAC control Contains Mac protocol information Destination MAC address Destination physical attachment point Source MAC address Source physical attachment point CRC Cyclic redundancy check Logical Link Control Characteristics of LLC not shared by other control protocols: Must support multiaccess, shared-medium nature of the link Relieved of some details of link access by MAC layer LLC Services Unacknowledged connectionless service No flow- and error-control mechanisms Data delivery not guaranteed Connection-mode service Logical connection set up between two users Flow- and error-control provided Acknowledged connectionless service Cross between previous two Datagrams acknowledged No prior logical setup Differences between LLC and HDLC LLC uses asynchronous balanced mode of operation of HDLC (type 2 operation) LLC supports unacknowledged connectionless service (type 1 operation) LLC supports acknowledged connectionless service (type 3 operation) LLC permits multiplexing by the use of LLC service access points (LSAPs) IEEE 802.11 Architecture Distribution system (DS) Access point (AP) Basic serv
