14.2 14-1 IEEE 802.11 IEEE has defined the specifications for a wireless LAN, called IEEE 802.11, which covers the physical and data link layers. Architecture MAC Sublayer Physical Layer Topics discussed in this section:

14.3 A BSS without an AP is called an ad hoc network; a BSS with an AP is called an infrastructure network. Note

An Access Point (AP) broadcasts is SSID (service set identifier) roughly every 100 ms and at 1 Mbps (to accommodate the slowest client) The Wi-Fi standard leaves connection criteria open to the client (?) The Wi-Fi spectrum is divided into a fixed number of channels 11 in North America 13 in most of Europe and China 14 in Japan 14.7 Creating WLAN Connections
8
But not all channels are used due to the concern of overlapping frequencies In North America, only channels 1, 6 and 11 are recommended for 802.11b and g. IEEE 802.11a has 42 channels, of which only 24 are used in North America, from which only about 12 are used to reduce overlapping frequencies 14.8 Creating WLAN Connections

14.10 Figure 14.4 CSMA/CA flowchart DIFS: distributed interframe space SIFS: short interframe space
11
14.11 Figure 14.5 CSMA/CA and NAV (Network Allocation Vector) When a station sends its RTS, it includes a time of how long it needs the medium. Other stations then set their NAV timer to this time so they don’t transmit. DIFS: Distributed interframe space; SIFS: short interframe space

14.12 Figure 14.6 Example of repetition interval

14.13 Figure 14.7 Frame format FC: Frame Control D: duration of the transmission that is used to set the value of NAV SC: sequence control: defines the sequence number of the frame to be used in flow control

16
14.16 Frame Types Three types of frames: 1. Management - used for initial communication between stations and access points 2. Control - used for accessing the channel (RTS) and acknowledging frames (CTS or ACK) (See Figure 15-10). 3. Data - used for carrying data and control information
17
14.17 Table 14.2 Values of subfields in control frames

14.18 Table 14.3 Addresses Note: Address 1 is always address of next device Address 2 is always address of previous device Address 3 is address of final destination if not defined by Address 1 Address 4 is address of original source if not defined by Address 2
19
14.19 Figure 14-9 Addressing mechanism: case 1 Frame is going directly from one client to another. No intervening distribution system. To DS = 0, From DS = 0
20
14.20 Addressing mechanism: case 2 To DS = 0, From DS = 1 - frame is coming from a DS (Access Point)
21
14.21 Addressing mechanism: case 3 To DS = 1, From DS = 0 - frame is going to a DS (or AP)
22
14.22 Addressing mechanism: case 4 To DS = 1 and From DS = 1

14.23 Figure 14.10 Hidden station problem
24
14.24 The CTS frame in CSMA/CA handshake can prevent collision from a hidden station. Note
25
14.25 Figure 14.11 Use of handshaking to prevent hidden station problem Station C doesn’t hear RTS from B, but it does hear CTS from A, so it knows something is up.
26
14.26 Figure 14.12 Exposed station problem C wants to send to D, but hears A talking to B, so assumes the medium is (incorrectly) busy.
27
14.27 Figure 14.13 Use of handshaking in exposed station problem Looking for a CTS handshake does not work in this case.

14.34 14-2 BLUETOOTH Bluetooth is a wireless LAN technology designed to connect devices of different functions such as telephones, notebooks, computers, cameras, printers, coffee makers, and so on. A Bluetooth LAN is an ad hoc network, which means that the network is formed spontaneously. Architecture Bluetooth Layers Baseband Layer L2CAP Topics discussed in this section:

38
14.38 Figure 15.17 Bluetooth layers Radio layer - roughly equivalent to physical layer. Uses 2.4 GHz ISM divided into 79 channels of 1 MHz each. Uses FHSS: 1600 hops/sec, so each frequency lasts for only 625 microseconds (1/1600). This is the dwell time. Baseband layer - roughly equivalent to MAC sublayer and uses TDD-TDMA (time-division duplexing TDMA). Similar to walkie-talkies using different carrier frequencies.
