A standard, IEEE 802.11, specifies the technologies for WLANs. IEEE 802.11 WLAN architecture LLC PHY MAC HL Wireless Function Datalink Layer

It is also referred to as Independent Base Service Set (IBSS).  Infrastructure Wireless Network This type of wireless network consists of multiple cells interconnected by Access Points (APs) and a Distribution System (DS) such as Ethernet. It is also called as Extended Service Set (ESS).

(Supported)  BSS transition Refers to stations that move from one BSS to another BSS within the same ESS. (Supported)  ESS transition Refers to stations that move from a BSS in one ESS to another BSS in a different ESS. (Not supported)

Confidential, not for distribution to third parties. 7 1544 Wireless LANs The 802.11 MAC  Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) Mandatory implementation Uses CSMA/CA protocol No service differentiation Works for both IBSS & ESS Operates during the Contention Period (CP) Waits a period of DIFS interval before transmission  Point Coordination Function (PCF) Optional Implementation Uses a Point Coordinator (PC) which resides in the AP Works only for ESS Operates during the Contention Free Period (CFP) Waits a period of PIFS interval before transmission

8 Copyright © 2003 OPNET Technologies, Inc. Confidential, not for distribution to third parties. 8 1544 Wireless LANs DCF Algorithm Wireless station senses the medium If medium free for DIFS, transmit frame else wait till the end of current transmission Receiver sends ACK to sender after SIFS (Success) If collision, wait for EIFS and then back-off (Failure) Back-off = Random_number () * Slot_time Random_number range [0,CW] Contention window (CW) doubled for every repeated collision Back-off timer decremented Station with least back-off has access to the medium Stations wanting to transmit additional packets also back-off

9 Copyright © 2003 OPNET Technologies, Inc. Confidential, not for distribution to third parties. 9 1544 Wireless LANs PCF Algorithm Point Coordinator senses medium Idle for PIFS, send out polling packet Polled stations send packet to AP after SIFS AP sends ACK to polled stations after SIFS Medium busy, defer access till the end of current transmission No back-off involved Process repeats till all packets are forwarded through AP.

This may lead to two stations communicating with the same receiving station which results in a collision. The station causing the collision is termed as “hidden” with reference to the receiving station. Solution The RequestToSend(RTS) & ClearToSend(CTS) mechanism is used to resolve the hidden terminal problem.

Standard parameters used for measuring QoS are Media Access Delay Throughput Packets Dropped (Packet Loss Rate - PLR) Network Availability DCF and PCF are evaluated using Media Access Delay and Throughput parameters.

Confidential, not for distribution to third parties. 24 1544 Wireless LANs Conclusions  Summary This presentation evaluated the two basic wireless medium access mechanisms DCF and PCF under low and high load conditions. DCF was observed to outperform PCF under low load and PCF outperform DCF under high load conditions. RTS/CTS offered no advantage, but there were no hidden terminals. The observations were done using Media Access Delay, Throughput & Data Dropped (PLR) metrics.  Future Work DCF and PCF do not provide prioritized access to the wireless medium. IEEE 802.11e is currently working on enhancing the 802.11 MAC with mechanisms like Enhanced DCF (EDCF) and HCF. It will be interesting to evaluate these mechanisms using OPNET once the 802.11e draft has stabilized.
