  17. Mobile Phones Technology The most used wireless technology is the mobile phone Mobile phones became popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Now in Hong Kong over 91% of the population owns a mobile phone. Various operators offer different services but they can be grouped into two types: Mobile phones provide two major functions: Voice – GSM, CDMA, TDMA Data - GRPS, WAP * SMS, EMS, MMS * Internet Access * Email * Value Added features Part 1

  19. Mobile Phone Development Since the development of mobile phones have seen a number of generations • 1st Generation • This the analog phones dominated by two main standards, Analog Mobile Phone System (AMPS) and Total Access Communication System (TACS) • 2nd Generation • Digital phones with better sound quality • CDMA, TDMA, GSM and PCS became common terms • Basic data transmission, modem, fax at 9.6kbps • 2.5 Generation • Faster data transmission with GPRS, for SMS, MMS at 14.4k – 115kbps • Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution (EDGE)allowed 384Kbps • 3rd Generation • WCDMA, CDMA2000 - Video streaming, high-speed Internet • Development even faster data access at 2Mbps for Internet applications Part 1

  20. WIRELESS LAN TECHNOLOGIES Part 1

  21. Wireless LAN Technology The most popular WLAN technology today is based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11x standard. Draft 2 (expect to rectify late 2009) plus error correction code Part 1

  22. Original 802.11 • Proposed by IEEE 802.11 working group • Started in May 1991 and completed in 1997 • Transmission rate 1Mbps and 2Mbps • 3 data transmission adopted • Frequency Hop Spread Spectrum (FHSS- 1Mbps) • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS- 2Mbps) • Infrared (IrDA – Infrared Data Association) Part 1

  23. 802.11b • Added in Dec. 1999 • Operating at 2.4GHz range • Support speed 11, 5.5, 2 & 1Mbps • Using Higher Rate - Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (HR-DSSS) • Employs the Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation technique • Newly added 22Mbps (802.11b+) Not official Part 1

  24. 802.11a • Added in Dec. 1999 • Operating at 5 GHz range • Support speed 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 & 54Mbps • Using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Part 1

  25. 802.11g • Added 2003 (Ratified in June) • Operating at 2.4 GHz range • Support speed between 24 and 54Mbps • Using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) - Mandatory • Also support Complimentary Code Keying (CCK) – Optional (backward compatibles with 802.11b) Part 1

  30. 802.11b Channels Wireless 802.11b networks operate in UHF band, specifically between 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz. These frequency is divided into 14 channels. US & Canada channel 1- 11 is available, Europe use 1 – 13, France uses 10-13 and Japan 1-14. Part 1

  31. Channel used for sending data Data is not transmitted in a single frequency, it is spread over multiple frequencies From the rule set only channel 1 , 6 and 11 do not overlap. But channel 5, 6 , and 7 affects all rule sets (Ideal for Jammers) Part 1

  39. 802.11n New Feature • MIMO (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) • defines many "M x N" antenna configurations, ranging from "1 x 1" to "4 x 4". This refers to the number of transmit (M) and receive (N) antennas – for example, an AP with two transmit and three receive antennas is a "2 x 3" MIMO device. • Better dealing with multipath signal reflections and attenuation • Channel Bonding • bonding to combine two adjacent 20 MHz channels into a single 40 MHz channel (most effective at 5GHz) • increases that throughput to 150 Mbps per channel • Aggregating of Frame • Transmit more than one application in single frame with fix header Part 1

  40. Wireless LAN Components Part 1

  41. Wireless LAN Components • Wireless client a computing device that is equipped with a wireless LAN network adapter. Wireless clients can communicate directly with each other or through a wireless access point. • Wireless Access Point a networking device equipped with a wireless LAN network adapter that acts as a bridge between wireless client and a traditional wired network Part 1

  42. Various Wireless Adapters for client PCMCIA USB Internal PCMCIA Adapter Internal Wireless Interface Part 1

  43. Basic Service Set The basic building block of an 802.11 network is the Basic Service set (BSS), which is simply a group of stations that communicate with each other Ad-hoc BSS Infrastructure BSS Part 1

  44. Extended Service Set Extended Service Set is for large networks Extended BSS AP (Bridge mode setting) Internet Part 1

  45. Workshop – Build simple wireless LAN (Ad-Hoc) Wire LAN • Ist client create a SSID(making it visible) and create a share folder with a file for other clients to download • Other Clients join this network • Test connection by download a file from 1st client Part 1

  46. Need wireless network adapter Define an SSID (Service Set IDentification) for “Adhoc” network All client connects to this SSID Building A Simple wireless network Install driver of Wireless Network Adapter Client 1 – set up a wireless group with SSID ADHOCxx – xx = 01 – 10 Client 2 – Connect to the ad-hoc network Part 1

  47. What is an Access Point? • At least 2 interface • Wireless Interface (802.11x) • Wired Interface (Ethernet or WAN port) • Bridge table • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) • Network Address Translation (NAT) • Security filtering and Monitoring Access Point is a mean connecting wireless world and the wired world Some feature provided by AP Part 1

  48. 2 types of APs 1 - Residential Gateways/Routers • Target at price-conscious users • Simple connectivity • Limited functions 2 – Enterprise Gateways (AP) • More expensive • Large network connectivity and multi APs • More sophisticated functions • Device management • Greater Security functions Part 1

  49. Residential Gateways / Routers • Suitable for home or small office use • Deploy with one routable IP address, so NAT is implemented • Aim for connecting to a WAN via modem • May support VPN pass-through • IPSec • PPTP Example: Linksys WRT610N SMC WGBR14S-N Dlink DIR655 Part 1
