高级计算机网络之WLANbasics.ppt

Prof. Fu Yunqing yqfu@ College of Software Engineering,CQU 1.1 Internet Internet definition: - Network of network of network…. - Information, Communications, Business, and much more How to access the Internet ? - Just a PC (device) and connection Where can I connect? - Office, Home, or everywhere 1.2 Internet Connection Normally implies “Cable Connection” Last “string” to PC - UTP cable from Ethernet card to a switch - Phone line from modem to the outlet - Or any broadband access…. Local Area Network WLAN is “Unwired LAN” or “No string LAN” 1.3 Why WLAN ? Mobility for data - As for voice, i.e. GSM (PWLAN) Installations speed and simplicity - No wiring needed Installation flexibility - Easy reconfiguration Scalability - WLAN can expand easily (Roaming) 无线让工作更高效 1.4 WLAN Conception 2.1 WLAN Family History: 802.11 1997: First standard - Standard name: IEEE 802.11-1997 - Updated:IEEE 802.11-1999 - Starting Point for “Standard-based WLAN” For 2 Mbps: (fallback to 1 Mbps – Noisy): Direct sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) modulation For 1-2 Mbps Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) Both operate in ISM band 2.4 GHz FHSS, DSSS, and infrared medium 802.11b 802.11b-1999 Range 50 – 100 m. (depends on obstacles) Omnidirectial antenna Indoor / Outdoor / Point-to-point (high-gain external antennas) Max throughput of 11 Mbit/s (5.5, 2, 1 Mbps) Attenuation: Metal, Thick walls, Water, etc. ISM Band 2.4 GHz; DSSS; CSMA/CA 14 overlapping ch. (Different ch.for different countries) - 3 simultaneously ch. (such as 1, 6, and 11) Proprietary speed extension 802.11b+ (22, 33 and 44Mbps) 802.11a 2001 (802.11a-1999) Max throughput of 54 Mbps (Normally around 20 Mbps) ISM Band 5 GHz (FCC may open more spectrum) 12 nonoverlapping channels, - 8 dedicated to indoor - 4 to point to point Not widely deployed (US. / Japan) - 802.11b popularity -Less range / More attenuation - Lack of roll back compatibility (now support a,b,and g) - In Europe considering HiperLan2 ISM Band Industria
