  3. The Channel Allocation Problem Static Allocation Dynamic Allocation Tc Ts Tn Ts/N m l N l Nm N l m Tn = (Ts/N)/(1 – r) l m Tc = Ts/(1 – r) Example T1 carrier: N = 24, 6400 bits/frame. Ts = 6400/64000 = 0.1 s. For r = 0.8 Tc = 0.5 s, Tn = 0.5/24 s for the same traffic. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 3

  4. Dynamic Channel Allocation in LANs Station Model:N independent stations sending messages according to Poisson distribution. Single Channel:A single channel is available to all stations to transmit to and receive from. Carrier Sense:Stations sense if the channel is in use and wait vs. stations cannot tell if the channel is in use. Collision Assumption:If stations transmit at the same time, frames will collide and garbled. All stations can detect collision and retransmit frame later. Frame beginning: Pure Aloha (frame can start transmission at any time) vs. slotted Aloha (frame can start transmission only at a given time instance). 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 4

  5. Multiple Access Protocols ALOHA Carrier Sense Multiple Access Protocols Collision-Free Protocols Wavelength Division Multiple Access Protocols 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 5

  6. Pure ALOHA (1970) In pure ALOHA, frames are transmitted at completely arbitrary times. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 6

  7. Collision conditions in pure Aloha period is 2t • All frames are of the same size. • Frame transmission can start at any time instant. If another frame starts here we will have collision 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 7

  8. Throughput versus offered traffic for ALOHA systems. (throughput per packet time) Max throughputs: 18% at G = 0.5 for pure 37% at G = 1 for slotted. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 8

  9. CSMA: Persistent and Non-persistent carr ->check next slot (1-p) carr ->random back off carr -> check after random time no carr -> transmit with prob p. no carr -> transmit p-persistent is slotted nonpersistent 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 9

  10. CSMA with Collision Detection CSMA/CD can be in one of three states: contention, transmission, or idle. Minimum contention slot is 2t where t ( 5 ms/km) is the propagation delay between the two most remote stations. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 10

A tunes to listen B status S. S tells B control slots #3 is free. 2. A tunes transmit control and sends to B “data for you in my slot 4” in B control slot #3. 3. B tunes to A output and receives data from slot 4. Channel allocations per station 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 13

  16. Ethernet Cabling Three kinds of Ethernet cabling. (a) 10Base5, (b) 10Base2, (c) 10Base-T. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 16

  18. Ethernet MAC Sublayer Protocol Frame formats. (a) DIX (DEC, Intel Xerox) (b) IEEE 802.3. • Address bit 46 determines local or global address. • Min frame is 64 bytes from dest. address to checksum. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 18

  19. 7 1 6 6 2 46-1500 4 Pre SOF DA SA Length/type Data FC Ethernet 802.3 • Preamble (PRE). The PRE is an alternating pattern of ones and zeros. • Start-of-frame delimiter (SOF). The SOF is an alternating pattern of ones and zeros, ending with two consecutive 1-bits. • Destination address (DA). Source addresses (SA). • Length/Type indicates either the number of MAC-client data bytes that are contained in the data field of the frame, or the frame type ID if the frame is assembled using an optional format. • Data n bytes (46=< n =<1500) of any value. (The total frame minimum is 64bytes.) • Frame check sequence (FCS) 32-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value, which is created by the sending MAC and is recalculated by the receiving MAC to check for damaged frames.

  20. Collision detection can take as long as 2t This is to sense a collision before end of the frame reach far end. In 10 Mbps LAN 1 bit is 100 nsec, and max segment 2500 m round trip delay is 2t = 50 mksec = 500 bits = 64 bytes. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 20

  21. Binary exponential backoff Frame second collision for i-th collision station randomly chooses between 0 and 2i - 1 contention slots until 1023. Frame P sec first collision Simplified version with persistance p: If k stations contend for a channel the probability that any of k gets a channel is: A = kp(1 – p)k-1 p = 1/kgives Amax -> 1/e for k -> inf. Average number of contention slots = S000 jA(1 – A)j-1 = 1/A. Therefore, channel efficiency = P/(P + 2t/A) 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 21

  29. Wireless LAN (bandwidth is 11 to 54 MHz) (a) A transmitting: C is out of range and cannot hear A. (b) B transmitting: C hears B and falsely concludes that it cannot transmit to D. Before transmitting the transmitting station wants to know whether is any activity around receiver. CSMA tells only activity around transmitter. Solution is that sender stimulate receiver to transmit short frame. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 29

  30. DCF: wireless MACA (Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) C hears RTS A to B (30 bytes) frame with the length of the frame to follow. D hears B responding to A with a CTS (copying the length of the next frame). A starts transmitting. 10/11/2007 EETS 7304 30
