  1. PRESENTATION ONIEEE 802.11

  2. Slides Includes • Introduction • Physical Layer • Architecture • Frame format • Different Protocols • Media Access Control (MAC)

  3. Introduction • Created and maintained by IEEE • Set of media control(MAC) and physical layer • Used to implement wireless local area network(WLAN) • In the frequency band 2.4,3.6,5 and 60 GHz • Wi-fi refers to the IEEE 802.11 communication for WLAN The Linksys WRT54G contains a router with an 802.11b/g radio and two antennas

  4. Introduction cntd. • Adopted in 1997 • Family of 802 • Origins in a 1985 ruling by the U.S. Federal Communications commission • Consist of series of half duplex over the air modulation • Uses same basic protocols • It uses two spread spectrum technology • Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)

  5. 802.11 Physical Layer (PHY) • The 802.11 physical layer (PHY) is the interface between the MAC and the wireless media where frames are transmitted and received. • The PHY provides three functions. • First, the PHY provides an interface to exchange frames with the upper MAC layer for transmission and reception of data. • Secondly, the PHY uses signal carrier and spread spectrum modulation to transmit data frames over the media. • Thirdly, the PHY provides a carrier sense indication back to the MAC to verify activity on the media.

  6. Architectures Station (STA) Architecture: • It contains IEEE 802.11 conformant MAC and PHY interface to the wireless medium, but does not provide access to a distribution system Access-Point Architecture: • Device that contains IEEE802.11 conformant MAC and PHY interface to the wireless medium, and provide access to a distribution system for associated stations • Implemented in infra-structure products that connect to wired backbones

  7. General terminologies • BSS (basic service set): • Group of stations that communicate each other • IBSS(independent basic service set): • It is a BSS without access point • Extended Service Set (ESS): • A set of one or more Basic Service Sets inter connected by a distribution System (DS)

  8. BSS IBSS

  9. General terminologies cntd • Service Set Identifier (SSID): • It is network name similar to domain id • One network (ESS or IBSS) has one SSID • Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) • It is cell identifier and is 6 octets long • Similar to NW ID in pre-IEEE Wave LAN systems

  10. Frame format 802.11 MAC header Frame control Field

  11. protocols 802.11 legacy • Release in Jun 1997 • Original version of 802.11 • Specifies two net bit rate 1or 2 mbits per sec • It has forward error correction code • Three alternatives physical layer • Diffuse infrared • Frequency hopping spread spectrum • Direct sequence spread spectrum

  12. 802.11a(ofdm waveform) • Release in sep 1999 • Data rates 1.5 to 54 mbit/s • First widely accepted 802 family • Operates at 5GHz frequency band • Less range

  13. 802.11b • Release on the market in 2000 • Maximum raw data rate of 11mbit/s • High throughput • Low cost • Interference problem

  14. 802.11g • Release on june 2003 • Operates in the 2.4 GHz band • Uses OFDM based transmission scheme • Operates at the average bit rate of 22 Mbit/s or maximum 54 Mbit/s • Its hardware are full back compatible with 802.11b hardware

  15. 802.11n • Release on October 2009 • It is the improvement over previous 802.11 standard • It has MIMO antennas • Operates at the 2.4 GHz or less than 5GHz bands • Data rates from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s

  16. 802.11ac • Release in December 2013 • It is an amendment to IEEE 802.11 • It has wider channels(80 or 160 MHz) • Operates at 5GHz band • It supports multi-user MIMO • Data rates up to 1300 Mbit/s

  17. 802.11ad • Release in Dec 2012 • It defines new physical layer for 802.11 n/w • Operates in the 60GHz millimeter wave spectrum • Product implementing this standard are being brought under the name of wigig brand • Peak transmission rate 7 Gbit/s

  18. Other Protocols • 802.11 AH • Estimated to release 2016 • Bandwidth 900MHz • 802.11 AJ • Estimated to release 2016 • Bandwidth 24/60 • 802.11 AX • Estimated to release 2019 • Bandwidth 2.4/5

  19. 802.11 Media Access Control • The 802.11 MAC layer provides functionality to allow reliable data delivery for the upper layers over the wireless PHY media. • The data delivery itself is based on an asynchronous, best-effort, connectionless delivery of MAC layer data. • There is no guarantee that the frames will be delivered successfully. • The 802.11 MAC provides a controlled access method to the shared wireless media called Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA). • CSMA/CA is similar to the collision detection access method deployed by 802.3 Ethernet LANs.

  20. 802.11 Media Access Control cntd • Another function of the 802.11 MAC is to protect the data being delivered by providing security and privacy services. • Security is provided by the authentication services and by Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP), which is an encryption service for data delivered on the WLAN.

  21. Security • For security 802.11 specifies two Authentication modes: • OSA(Opens Systems Authentication) • Device that request to access the network is granted without any security check • Shared Key Authentication • Device that request to access the network is granted with security check • WEP: wired equivalent privacy • ESSID offers casual separation of traffic
