35 – 560 Mbps
unused TV bands (54-790 MHz)
§ all use CSMA/CA for multiple access, and have base-station and ad- hoc network versions
Wireless and Mobile Networks: 7- 3
802.11 LAN architecture
hub, switch or router
v wireless host communicates with base station
§ base station = access point ( AP)
v Basic Service Set (BSS) (aka
“cell”) in infrastructure
mode contains:
§ wireless hosts
§ access point (AP): base station
§ ad hoc mode: hosts only
802.11: Channels, association
› 802.11b: 2.4GHz-2.485GHz spectrum divided into 11 channels at different frequencies
– AP admin chooses frequency for AP
– interference possible: channel can be same as that chosen by neighboring AP! › host: must associate with an AP
– scans channels, listening for beacon frames containing AP’s name (SSID) and MAC address – selects AP to associate with
– may perform authentication
– will typically run DHCP to get IP address in AP’s subnet
802.11: passive/active scanning
AP1 1AP2 AP12 2
passive scanning:
(1) beacon frames sent from APs
(2) association Request frame sent: H1 to
selected AP
(3) association Response frame sent from
selected AP to H1
active scanning:
(1) Probe Request frame broadcast
(2) Probe Response frames sent
(3) Association Request frame sent:
H1 to selected AP
(4) Association Response frame sent
from selected AP to H1
spatial layout of nodes collisions
› collisions can occur: propagation delay means two nodes may not hear each other’s transmission
› collision: frame transmission time wasted
Wired Networks: CSMA/CD (collision detection)
– collisions detected within short time
– colliding transmissions aborted, reducing channel wastage
› collision detection:
– wired LANs: measure signal strengths, compare transmitted, received
– Can transmit and sense at the same time
– wireless LANs: received signal strength overwhelmed by local
transmission strength
– CSMA-CD cannot be used in wireless LAN
CSMA/CD (collision detection)
spatial layout of nodes
IEEE 802.11: multiple access
› 802.11: no collision detection!
– difficult to receive (sense collisions) when transmitting due to weak
received signals (fading)
– can not sense all collisions in any case: hidden terminal, fading – goal: avoid collisions: CSMA/C(ollision)A(voidance)
AB A’s signal
C’s signal strength
IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol: CSMA/CA
802.11 sender
1 if sense channel idle for DIFS (Distributed inter-frame space) then
transmit entire frame (no CD)
2 if sense channel busy then
start random backoff time
timer counts down while channel idle transmit when timer expires
802.11 receiver
– if frame received OK
return ACK after SIFS (Shorter inter-frame spacing)
Sender: if no ACK, increase random backoff interval, repeat 2
sender DIFS
Avoiding collisions (more)
idea: allowsenderto“reserve”channelratherthanrandomaccess of data frames: avoid collisions of long data frames
› sender first transmits small request-to-send (RTS) packets to BS using CSMA
– RTSs may still collide with each other (but they’re short)
› BS broadcasts clear-to-send CTS in response to RTS
› CTS heard by all nodes
– sender transmits data frame
– other stations defer transmissions
avoid data frame collisions completely using small reservation packets!
Collision Avoidance: RTS-CTS exchange
reservation collision
Please think: How does A (B) know that RTS collide?

802.11: advanced capabilities
Rate adaptation
› base station, mobile dynamically change transmission rate (physical layer modulation technique) as mobile moves, SNR varies
QAM256 (8 Mbps) QAM16 (4 Mbps) BPSK (1 Mbps)
operating point
10-1 10-2 10-3 10-4 10-5 10-6 10-7
10 20 30 40 SNR(dB)
1. SNR decreases, BER increase as node moves away from base station
2. When BER becomes too high, switch to lower transmission rate but with lower BER

Exposed Terminal
Ideal: S1->R1 and S2->R2 simultaneously
However: S2 can sense the carrier of S1 so that it keeps silence
Can RTS-CTS fail? Yes

Cellular Internet Access Architecture and standards
Components of cellular network architecture
