Dr. Du dxj2005@ Chapter 6 IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN – Part 1 Chap 6.1 - Dr. Du 2 Outline Introduction of IEEE 802.11 and Wi-Fi Basics of MAC protocols IEEE 802.11 DCF IEEE 802.11 PCF IEEE 802.11 Time Synchronization IEEE 802.11 Power save mode Chap 6.1 - Dr. Du 3 Introduction to IEEE 802.11 An IEEE standard on wireless Local Area Network (LAN) What have been defined in the standard? Medium Access Control (MAC) layer Physical layer (PHY) What is Wi-Fi? – Wireless Fidelity Wi-Fi Alliance: a non-profit industry association Wi-Fi certification ensures IEEE 802.11 products from different manufacturers can interoperate Chap 6.1 - Dr. Du 4 IEEE 802.11 Amendment Defines different features for improving performance in different aspects (work by different task groups) IEEE 802.11b: transmission frequency - 2.4 GHz, speed - up to 11Mb/s IEEE 802.11a: 5GHz, up to 54 Mb/s IEEE 802.11g: 2.4GHz, up to 54 Mb/s (compatible with 11.b) IEEE 802.11i: security enhancement IEEE 802.11e: quality of service (QoS) One MAC operates on different PHYs Chap 6.1 - Dr. Du 5 IEEE 802.11 Terminologies Access Point (AP) Provide centralized coordination among all hosts in a cluster Basic service set (BSS) AP and all hosts that connects to the AP Independent basic service set (IBSS) Ad hoc network without AP Point coordination function (PCF) Medium access functions used in BSS (with AP) Distributed coordination function (DCF) Medium access functions used in IBSS Chap 6.1 - Dr. Du 7 MAC and Its Classification Medium Access Control (MAC) Wireless channel is a shared medium MAC determines which node can access the channel at any time – avoid collisions Classification of MAC protocols Scheduled protocols Schedule nodes onto different sub-channels Examples: TDMA, FDMA, CDMA Contention-based protocols Nodes compete in probabilistic coordination IEEE 802.11 DCF is a contention-based MAC Chap 6.1 - Dr. Du 8 Contention-Based MAC Protocols CSMA — Carrier Sense Multiple Access Listening before transmitting Not
