  3. IEEE 802.11 Service Sets • Basic Service Sets – 3 types • Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) • Infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS) • Extended Basic Service Set (ESS) Note: The BSS is the fundamental building block for all 802.11 wireless networks. • Note: • for IEEE 802.3 each device on the network is a node or host • for IEEE 802.11 each device on the network is a Station (STA)

  4. Basic Service Set BSS - The Basic Service Set is a term used to describe the collection of Stations which may communicate together within an 802.11 WLAN. • Basic Service Set (BSS): Group of wireless devices served by single AP • infrastructure mode • BSS must be assigned unique identifier • Service Set Identifier (SSID) • Serves as “network name” for BSS • Basic Service Area (BSA): Geographical area of a BSS • Max BSA for a WLAN depends on many factors • Dynamic rate shifting: As mobile devices move away from AP, transmission speed decreases

  5. Extended Service Set • ESS - is comprised of a number BSS’s • ESS stations must have the same SSID • The BSSID is the “name” of the BSS (not same as SSID) • APs can be positioned so that cells overlap to facilitate roaming • Wireless devices choose AP based on signal strength • Stations going from one BSS to another will deal with Handoff ESS SSID Wired LAN BSS2 (BSSID2) BSS3 (BSSID3) BSS1 (BSSID1)

  6. IEEE Wireless LAN Configurations: Independent Basic Service Set • Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS): Wireless network that does not use an AP • Wireless devices communicate between themselves • Peer-to-peer or ad hoc mode • BSS more flexible than IBSS in being able to connect to other wired or wireless networks • IBSS useful for quickly and easily setting up wireless network • When no connection to Internet or external network needed

  7. Service Set Identifiers - SSID and BSSID • SSID -Service Set Identifier is a 1-32 byte alphanumeric sequence that uniquely names an ESS (the network name). • Any SSID or Null SSID is a blank SSID used to associate with anyone. • BSSID- Basic Service Set Identifier is a 48-bits that uniquely identifies a BSS AP Wired LAN ESS Id = SSID BSS Id = BSSID

  10. WLAN IP Addressing • In standard networking, IP protocol responsible for moving frames between computers • Network layer protocol • TCP/IP works on principle that each network host has unique IP address • Used to locate path to specific host • Routers use IP address to forward packets • Prohibits mobile users from switching to another network and using same IP number • Users who want to roam need new IP address on every network

  11. Mobile IP • Provides mechanism within TCP/IP protocol to support mobile computing • Computers given home address, • Static IP number on home network • Home agent: Forwarding mechanism that keeps track of where mobile computer located • When computer moves to foreign network, a foreign agent provides routing services • Assigns computer a care-of address • Computer registers care-of address with home agent

  12. Mobile IP Components MN – Mobile Node (VMD) FA – Foreign Agent (MAP) HA – Home Agent (MAP) AAP – Authoritative Access Point MAP – Mobile IP Access Point (MN) VMD – Visiting Mobile Device (MN) COA – Care-of-Address HAN – Home Agent Network FAN – Foreign Agent Network CN – Correspondent Node CCRI J. Bernardini

  13. Subnets and Mobile IP • Subnets provide many advantages: • make network management easier • Subnets reduce broadcasts • Subnets provide security • Subnets use subnet masks (255.255.255.0) • WLAN subnets creates problems for roaming devices • Example: • 192.146.118.20 /24 can seamlessly roam within 192.146.118.x /24 • Note /24 is a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask • 192.146.118.20 /24 can not seamlessly roam within 202.165.200.x /24 without changing the IP address • Mobile IP offers a solution • 192.146.118.20 can roam as a “guest” on the 202.165.200.x network CCRI J. Bernardini

  14. Mobile IP Devices • Visiting Device • Some APs support Mobile IP and Visiting devices • Mobile IP Access Point • Performs all Mobile IP services • Home Agent • Visiting devices home router • Tunnels packets from “visited” network to “visiting” device • Authoritative Access Point (AAP) • Uses a subnet map to track all home “visiting” devices • Foreign Agent • A router the is the attachment point for “visiting” devices • Tunnels packets to the Home Agent for the “visiting” device CCRI J. Bernardini

  15. Mobile IP Process - Discovery Mobile IP 3-Step Process 1-Discovery 2-Registration 3-Tunneling 2 MN – Mobile Node FA – Foreign Agent HA – Home Agent 3 1 4 1- Mobile Node (MN) gets address from Home Agent (HA) 2- MN moves to Foreign Agent (FA ) network 3- MN discovers FA or solicits for an agent. 4- MN gets Care-of-Address (COA) from FA CCRI J.

  21. WLAN Design Models • Point-to-Point (PtP) • Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) Wireless Networking J. Bernardini

  22. WLAN Modes • Single MAC Model • Edge, Autonomous, Stand-Alone, Fat-AP • Split MAC Model • Centralized, Thin-AP • Mesh Network • Distributed, Multipath, IEEE 802.11s Wireless Networking J. Bernardini

  23. Single MAC Model Wireless Networking J. Bernardini

  24. Split MAC Model Wireless Networking J. Bernardini

  25. WLAN Model Evolution • Intelligent Edge(Distribution) • Quick to setup but for small-medium networks • Difficult to mage for large networks • WLAN Network Management Systems • Centralized Management Distribution Processing • For large networks • Centralized WLAN Architecture (Split MAC) • For large networks with centralized controller • Large amount of wiring needed • Distributed Data Forwarding (DDF) WLAN • Similar to Split MAC but uses Fat-AP • Unified WLAN Architecture • Wireless built in to every thing including switches Wireless Networking J. Bernardini

  26. WLAN Power Management Features • Active Mode • No power saving but improved station and AP performance • For desktops and line powered laptops • Power Save Mode • Dozing and Wake modes • Switches to wake to check for frames • WMM Power Save • U-APSD Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery • This is an industry certification • IEEE 802.11e-2005 Wireless Networking J. Bernardini

  27. Power Management • A WLAN laptop must remain “awake” in order to receive network transmissions • Original IEEE 802 standard assumes stations always ready to receive network messages • Power management: Allows mobile devices to conserve battery life without missing transmissions • Transparent to all protocols • Differs based on WLAN configuration • AP records which stations awake and sleeping • Buffering: If sleeping, AP temporarily stores frames

  28. Power Management • At set times AP send out beacon to all stations • Contains traffic indication map (TIM) • At same time, all sleeping stations switch into active listening mode • Power management in ad hoc mode: • Ad hoc traffic indication message (ATIM) window: Time at which all stations must be awake • Wireless device sends beacon to all other devices • Devices that previously attempted to send a frame to a sleeping device will send ATIM frame indicating that receiving device has data to receive and must remain awake

  29. Continuous Aware Mode • Constantly Awake Mode provides the best performance allowing the client a strong connection between the wireless card and the AP; however, it also rapidly drains the client’s battery, resulting in shorter battery life.

  30. Power Management with TIM/DTIM/ATIM • Traffic Indication Map (TIM) • A table stored on the AP of all STA’s in Power Save mode • TIM is used to determine which STA’s require frame buffering • Every Beacon contains a TIM • Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) • Used to manage STAs and to program wakeup • Sent on every few (third or some interval)Beacon • Ad Hoc Traffic Indication Message (ATIM) • Use to power manage IBSS Wireless Networking J.
