Basic Access Method - Protocol Behavior • The 802.11 family uses a MAC layer known as CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) • Ethernet uses CSMA/CD - collision detection). Concept • Listen on the channel. • If the channel is quiet (no active transmitters) - send a packet. • If channel is occupied- wait longer (exponential backoff) • 20 micro sec for DS systems. • If the channel is still idle at the end of the CONTENTION period the node transmits its packet otherwise it repeats the waiting process

Tgu – Wireless Interworking Background As IEEE 802.11 hotspot deployment has become more widespread throughout the world. The growth of hotspots has resulted in more users becoming frustrated with the non uniformity of interworking systems (e.g. poor service definition, disparate registration procedures, non-ubiquitous roaming). Generically these issues have been referred to as interworking, which refers to the functionality and interface between an IEEE 802.11 access network and any external network.
Tgu – Wireless Interworking Objectives The primary objective of IEEE 802.11u, is to create an amendment to address interworking issues between an IEEE 802.11 access network and any external network to which it is connected. Interworking, is actually a collection of different functionalities: Online Enrolment Network Selection Security Authorization from Subscriber Network Media Independent Handover Support Status: Last Draft balloted was D 13.0 – Published Feb 2011
