Understanding Wireless LANs: IEEE 802.11b, Security, and Spread Spectrum Technologies

This chapter explores Wireless LANs focused on IEEE 802.11b, which offers 11 Mbit/s connectivity with encryption, though its security features are debated. It details peer-to-peer and access point architectures, highlighting the ability to support roaming. The section also compares various wireless systems, including Infrared, Bluetooth, Cell/PCS, and CDPD, emphasizing their performance differences. Additionally, it discusses modulation techniques such as narrowband and wideband, particularly spread spectrum technology, known for its resistance to jamming and eavesdropping.

  2. IEEE 802.11b • 11 Mbit/s • Encrypted (but questionable security) Figure 15.1: Peer-to-Peer Figure 15.2: Access Point

  3. Multiple Access Points • Supports roaming Figure 15.3

  4. Other Wireless Systems • InfraRed: Short range, slow connection • Bluetooth: Short range, fast connection • Cell/PCS: Wide Area Network • CDPD: 10 Kbit/sec data on old analog cell systems (Cellular Digital Packet Data) • GSM: 13 Kbit/sec data (European cell standard) • G3: High Speed (promised)

  5. Radio Frequency Technology • Wavelength • C = 3*108 m/sec • F = frequency (Hz) • Modulation • Narrow Band (AM, FM) • Wide Band (Spread Spectrum) Figure 15.4 Figure 15.5: Narrow Band Figure 15.6: Spread Spectrum

  6. Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Frequency Bands Figure 15.7

  7. Spread Spectrum • Frequency Hopping: Invented by Heddy Lamar during WWII • Direct Sequence : Invented at ITT Labs in Nutley NJ ~1950 Figure 15.8: frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

  8. Spread Spectrum (cont.) • Spread Spectrum Properties • Difficult to jam • Difficult toeavesdrop • Less interferencewith other services Figure 15.9: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
