Understanding the Gap between the IEEE 802.11 Protocol Performance and the Theoretical Limits. Pawel Tomasik Martikel-Nr 3431263 Wireless Sensor Networks
Plan • Introduction • About IEEE 802.11 • Main problems • Summary • Questions Wireless Sensor Networks
Introduction • What is this 802.11 protocol? • The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is probably the most widely used MAC protocol for ad hoc networks which is still developing. Wireless Sensor Networks
Notions • RTS - Request-To-Send • CTS - Clear-To-Send • ACK - ACKnowledgment • NAV - Network Allocation Vector Wireless Sensor Networks
How does it work?? Wireless Sensor Networks
Implementation Wireless Sensor Networks
Limits – Physical Layer • Spatial Reuse – the number of succesful simultaneous transmissions per spatial unit. • Fairness Index – the max value is 1 when all nodes access the cannel equally Wireless Sensor Networks
Problems • The gagged node • The jammed node • The focused node Wireless Sensor Networks
The gagged node A node is silenced by repeated Request-To-Send (RTS) messages that are not followed by a data packet transmission. Wireless Sensor Networks
The gagged node Wireless Sensor Networks
The gagged node Wireless Sensor Networks
The jammed node A node is jammed by data packet transmitted between two other nodes and cannot extract valuable state informations in control messages sent concurrently. Wireless Sensor Networks
The jammed node Wireless Sensor Networks
The jammed node Wireless Sensor Networks
The focused node A node focuses its transmission attempts on a single of its neighboring nodes that experiences high contention Wireless Sensor Networks
Summary After suppression this 3 situations we can observe the performance of the 802.11 protocol with RTS-CTS within 10% of the optimal spatial reuse. Wireless Sensor Networks
