  7. PHY Layer • HR/DSSS: High Rate Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum • FHSS : Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

  8. MAC Sublayer PCF (Point Coordination Function) DCF (Distributed Coordination Function)

  9. PCF -Point Coordinator (PC) -Only in infrastructure networks -Designed for delay-bounded services PIFS EIFS: Extended IFS

  10. PCF - Centralized: location-dependent errors • Stations must wait for polling: Delay at low load • AP needs to contend for the channel using DCF to begin a CFP: variable CFP • Managing large number of stations using polling affects the applications that use DCF • No admission control

  11. DCF • Distributed, Contention-based • CSMA/CA • Binary Exponential Back-Off (CW: Contention Window) • Physical channel sensing • Virtual channel sensing (NAV: Network Allocation Vector) • Hidden Terminal problem: RTS/CTS • Timers • Retry limits • Fragmentation

  12. Fragmentation

  13. NAV: Network Allocation Vector DIFS: DCF Inter Frame Space SIFS: Short IFS PIFS: PCF IFS EIFS: Extended IFS Priority DIFS DIFS PIFS SIFS medium busy contention next frame time

  14. Tunable Parameters

  15. QoS Mechanisms

  16. Service Differentiation Priority: classification of traffic Fair Scheduling: partitioning the bandwidth fairly by regulating the wait times of traffic classes according to given weights

  17. EDCF (Enhanced DCF) Virtual Collision Handler ~ Internal Collisions AC: Access Category AIFS: Arbitrary IFS

  18. Persistent Factor DCF (P-DCF) • A persistent factor P is selected; small P means higher priority traffic class • A uniform random number r is generated every slot in back-off stages. • A flow stops the back-off and starts transmission only if r > p in the current slot given no transmission occurs in previous slots  The back-off interval is a geometric distributed random variable with P Geometric random variable is the number of trials required to obtain the first failure

  19. Distributed Weighted Fair Queue 2 schemes are proposed: • CW for a flow = Difference between actual and expected throughput A station decreases the CW to get higher priority  Lower CW when the actual throughput is lower than the expected one • Li’ = Ri/Wi Ri = the actual throughput Wi = the weight Each station adjust its CW by comparing others Li’ • Selfishness • More stations will have small value of CW

  20. Distributed Fair Scheduling (DFS) The back-off interval is based on the packet length and traffic class For flow i, BIi proportional to: 1. The weight (higher for higher throughput classes) 2. The packet length 3. A scaling factor (to min the probability of collisions in case different stations have same back off interval)

  21. Distributed Deficit Round Robin (DDRR) 1. Each throughput class i at station j is given a service quantum rate (Qij) equal to its required throughput 2. A deficit counter (DCij) is advanced at the rate Qij in a round robin fashion 3. Once a DCij becomes positive, the ith queue is allowed to send one packet 4. After transmission, DCij will be decreased by packet length each time a packet is transmitted  DCij is used to calculate IFSij (time before transmit or back-off): larger DCij, smaller IFSij

  22. DDRR Queues of different throughput classes Polling in a round robin way

  23. Admission Control and Bandwidth Reservation • Service differentiation does not perform well under high traffic loads • There is a need to protect existing streams • A wireless node has no knowledge of exact condition of the network • With CSMA/CA, bandwidth provision is quite difficult

  24. Measurement-Based Admission Control • The decision is made on measurement of existing network status (delay, throughput, …) • Different methods used: • Virtual MAC: the use of virtual MAC frames, and using a virtual source algorithm to tune the virtual MAC. • Probe packet: the use of probe packet for ad hoc • Data probe: the use of data packets

  25. Calculation-Based Admission Control • Performance metrics or criteria for evaluating the network status • Permissible throughput propagation • Saturation-based

  26. Scheduling and Reservation-Based Schemes • ARME (ASSURED RATE MAC EXTENSION • ): - Extension of DCF - Uses token bucket-based algorithm to detect overloading condition - improvements mad by adjusting CW

  27. Scheduling/Reservation • AACA: - RTS/CTS used for reservation - Mainly was for solving hidden terminal problem

  28. Link Adaptation Dynamically change the transmit rate , specified in the PLCP header of the PHY layer, that depend on channel conditions

  29. Link Adaptation • Received Signal Strength (RSS) • Each station maintains 12 RSS thresholds and corresponding transmission rate • Measure RSS and adjust the transmission rate • PER-Prediction • Decisions are based on Packet Error Rate-Prediction • MPDU-Based • Success/Fail Thresholds • Code Adapts To Enhance Reliability

  30. Direct Link Protocol (DLP) • QSTA transmits directly to another QSTA • Set up with the QAP is needed • STAs cannot go into power saving mode for active duration of the direct stream. • DLP is not applied in Ad Hoc networks • DLP messages can include security information

  31. Group ACK • Send a group of frames before any ACK to reduce overhead • GroupAckReq • GroupAck frame with an ACK bitmap • Sender retry unacknowledged frames with a retry limit • Receiver should keep the state of burst data received (sender address, bit map, sequence numbers)

  32. Challenges • IEEE 802.11e and DiffServ • IEEE 802.11e and IntServ • Integration of WLAN and MANET • Integration of WLAN and Bluetooth • Integration of WLAN and 3G wireless networks
