IEEE 802 Series of LAN Standards • 802 standards free to download from http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802 WiMAX
IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN - 1 • Wireless LANs • IEEE 802.11 standard: • unlicensed frequency spectrum: 900Mhz, 2.4Ghz
IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN - 2 • Basic Service Set (BSS) (a.k.a. “cell”) contains: • wireless hosts • access point (AP): base station • BSS’s combined to form distribution system (DS)
Ad Hoc Networks • Ad hoc network: IEEE 802.11 stations can dynamically form networkwithoutAP • Applications: • “laptop” meeting in conference room, car • interconnection of “personal” devices • battlefield • IETF MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Networks) working group
IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol: CSMA/CA 802.11 CSMA sender: - if sense channel idle for DISF sec. then transmit entire frame (no collision detection) -if sense channel busy then binary backoff 802.11 CSMA receiver: if received OK return ACK after SIFS
Hidden Terminal effect • hidden terminals: A, C cannot hear each other • obstacles, signal attenuation • collisions at B • goal: avoid collisions at B • CSMA/CA: CSMA with Collision Avoidance
Hidden Station Problem • The CTS frame in CSMA/CA handshake can prevent collision from a hidden station.
Collision Avoidance: RTS-CTS exchange - 1 • CSMA/CA: explicit channel reservation • sender: send short RTS: request to send • receiver: reply with short CTS: clear to send • CTS reserves channel for sender, notifying (possibly hidden) stations • Avoid hidden station collisions
Collision Avoidance: RTS-CTS exchange - 2 • RTS and CTS short: • collisions less likely, of shorter duration • end result similar to collision detection • IEEE 802.11 allows: • CSMA • CSMA/CA: reservations • polling from AP
Interconnecting Devices Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
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. Topics discussed in this section: ArchitectureBluetooth LayersBaseband Layer L2CAP
Interconnecting Devices • How to get more users attached to a LAN? • How to extend a single LAN? • How to connect different LANs? Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Interconnecting Devices (cnt’d) • Repeater • Hub • Bridge • Switch • Router Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Five Categories of Network Devices Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Repeater • works at the Physical layer • Regenerates received bits before it sends them out • connects different half-duplex network segments • either extends the number of users or the total span (by improving the quality of the transmitted signal) Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
A Repeater Connects two segments of LAN Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Function of Repeater Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Note A repeater is a regenerator, not an amplifier. Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
multi-port repeater (physical hardware device) provides physical star topology no intelligence no separations of collision domains all the hosts compete for the shared bandwidth Hub Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
HUB • An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub or hub is a device for connecting multiple Ethernet devices together and making them act as a single network segment. A hub works at the physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model • The device is a form of multiport repeater.
Bridge • works at layer 2 (requires software) • connects two networks of the same type • LAN to LAN (example: WLAN to Fast Ethernet) • forwards data (1 packet @ the time) depending on the destination address in the data packet (not the IP address, but the physical (MAC) address that is unique for every Network Interface Card (NIC)) • all computers are in the same sub-network • packet filtering • separates collision domains – larger network spans • a stand alone device or a PC with the special NIC and the accompanied software Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Bridge (cnt’d) Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Note A bridge has a table used in filtering decisions. Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Note A bridge does not change the physical (MAC) addresses in a frame. Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Switch • basically a multi-port bridge • provides a better network performance • forwards more than a single packet at a time • separates collision domains – larger total network span • bandwidth not shared Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Switch (cnt’d) Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
Router • connects different sub-networks • Layer 3 (Network layer) device • forwarding based on IP addresses not on MAC addresses • more expensive than a switch (requires CPU) • Layer 3 switches (only work with IP packets) Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
An Example a simple internet Data Communication & Networks, Fall 2009
