  1. 802.11 Enhancements and Applications 802.11p, 802.11r, 802.11s, 802.11y

  2. 802.11p

  3. “Dedicated Short Range Communications” (DSRC) Started in IEEE 1609, spun into 802.11p Aka (WAVE) Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment Goal Telematics (collision avoidance a big driver) Roadside-to-vehicle Vehicle-to-vehicle environments 54 Mbps, <50 ms latency Possible competitor to cellular Operates in 5.850 to 5.925GHz band Draft under ballot Projected for March 2009 802.11p

  4. Broader Context • 802.11p part of several standards which will jointly enable widescale telematics Intelligent Transportation Systems doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/2045r0

  5. 802.11p Applications • Applications • Emergency warning system for vehicles • Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control • Cooperative Forward Collision Warning • Intersection collision avoidance • Approaching emergency vehicle warning (Blue Waves) • Vehicle safety inspection • Transit or emergency vehicle signal priority • Electronic parking payments • Commercial vehicle clearance and safety inspections • In-vehicle signing • Rollover warning • Probe data collection • Highway-rail intersection warning

  6. In-Vehicle Displays and Annunciations COLLISION COLLISION IMMINENT IMMINENT FRONT LEFT ~ ~ Note 1: The OBU in the vehicle recognizing the threat transmits a WARNING and COLLISION PREPARATION MESSAGE with the location address of the threat vehicle. ~ ~ Note 2: Only the OBU in the threatening vehicle processes the message because only it matches the threat address. up to 100 m (328 ft) ~ ~ Note 3: COLLISION PREPARATION includes seat belt tightening, side air bag deployment, side bumper expansion, etc. Car NOT Stopping Radar Threat Identification Traffic Signal Traffic Signal OBUs on Control Ch Example Application From: IEEE 802.11- 04/ 0121r0 Available:http://www.npstc.org/meetings/Cash%20WAVE%20Information%20for%205.9%20GHz%20061404.pdf

  7. Operation • Spectrum divided into 7 bands • 178 is control (safety) • 2 edge channels are reserved for future • The rest are service channels (not application specific) • IEEE 802.11a adjusted for low overhead operations

  8. Control Messaging characteristics Most messages are single hop Some broadcasting (e.g., forwarding hazard warnings) No coordination for channel access Messages targeted based on vehicle location more so than vehicle identity Short and mapped to a single frame Arbitrary distances (100m is a more practical distance) Vehicles in constant communication Dedicated channel Messaging Principles Safety communication is not application-to-application Instead, an intermediate layer is responsible for safety information distribution and aggregation among vehicles and infrastructure. Applications work by continuously analyzing the aggregated information to look out for potential trigger conditions. Simply put, the sender of a safety message cannot dictate how the message should be processed “I-am-braking” vs “You have-to-brake” message. One particular advantage Simplifies future enhancements Safety Messages

  9. Reliability • If cars are being controlled wirelessly, dropping packets could cause accidents • May need to signal a long ways off • Result of studies: • Errors not bursty • Communications up to 1 km feasible Free way conditions F. Bai, H. Krishnan, “Reliability Analysis of DSRC Wireless Communication for Vehicle Safety Applications,” IEEE ITSC 2006 Packet error distribution

  10. Possible Deployments • Good (though dated) schedule at http://www.itsforum.gr.jp/Public/E4Meetings/P03/schnackeTP74.pdf • US DoT planning to deploy as Vehicle Infrastructure Integration project (VII) • http://www.networkworld.com/news/2005/111405-vii.html • Widescale deployment decision in 2008 • First use in intersections • GM possibly going its own route with “Vehicle to Vehicle” which leverages OnStar • http://www.gm.com/company/gmability/safety/news_issues/releases/sixthsense_102405.html • European Effort – Car-to-Car Communication Consortium • http://www.car-to-car.org/

  11. 802.11r Support for Faster Roaming

  12. Fast BSS Roaming/Transition within IEEE WLAN networks Preserve security with handovers <50ms Fast BSS Roaming is possible only within a certain area called the mobility domain (MD), inter-MD cases are not covered Mobility Domain (MD): Set of BSS grouped together with the same 48bit MD Identifier FT functionality seeks to provide handover performance for RT services Key Issues Resource Reservations Security Collapsed 5 step process down to 3 Scanning – active or passive for other APs in the area Authentication with a (one or more) target AP Re-association to establish connection at target AP Target 2008 802.11e overview http://www.cs.tut.fi/kurssit/TLT-6556/Slides/Lecture4.pdf

  13. Resource Reservation (optional) • Resource Reservation (RR) is to setup QoS resources in one or more target AP during FT transition mechanism • RR Setup only follows successful PTK derivation • RR is based on one round-trip negotiation • – STA requests certain QoS and t-AP provides as much or less QoS • • Benefits • No delay during re-association for RR (RIC) processing • Better application service quality during FT roaming • Without RR, STA may realize target AP does not have enough resources at the time of reassociation • Drawbacks • STA may reserve at multiple AP but use only one => cost • Increased AP complexity • –Mechanism • AP advertises the capability in the Beacon frame • STA has the choice to initiate the RR procedure

  14. Security • New key hierarchy • New authentication route http://www.cs.tut.fi/kurssit/TLT-6556/Slides/Lecture4.pdf http://www.networkcomputing.com/gallery/2007/0416/0416ttb.jhtml;jsessionid=0CK4ZKR20HC5QQSNDLPCKHSCJUNN2JVN

  16. 802.11s Mesh Networking in WiFi

  17. Objectives1 • Modify 802.11 MAC to create dynamic self-configuring network of access points (AP) called and Extended Service Set (ESS) Mesh • Automatic topology learning, dynamic path selection • Single administrator for 802.11i (authentication) • Support up to 32 AP • Support higher layer connections • Allow alternate path selection metrics • Extend network merely by introducing access point and configuring SSID IP or Ethernet 1. http://standards.ieee.org/board/nes/projects/802-11s.pdf

  18. WLAN Mesh– An IEEE 802.11-based Wireless distribution service consisting of a set of two or more Mesh Points interconnected via IEEE 802.11 links and communicating via the WLAN Mesh Services. Mesh Point - A Mesh Services supporting device (bridge, access point) Mesh AP - Any Mesh Point that is also an Access Point. Mesh Portal - A boundary connection for the Mesh Conceptual Operation http://ieee802.org/802_tutorials/nov06/802.11s_Tutorial_r5.pdf

  19. WiMesh http://www.wi-mesh.org/ Major Partners Nortel InterDigital Phillips Mitre Naval Research Lab Thomson SEEMesh Simple, Efficient and Extensible Mesh No group site Major Partners Intel Motorola (purchased MeshNetworks) Nokia Texas Instruments Major Participants 1. http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/Reports/tgs_update.htm

  20. Key Technologies • Topology Formation • Internetworking • Routing • Security

  21. Topology Formation • Each Mesh Point may have one or more logical radio interface: • Each logical interface on one (infrequently changing) RF channel, belong to one “Unified Channel Graph” • Each Unified Channel Graph shares a channel precedence value • Channel precedence indicator – used to coalesce disjoint graphs and support channel switching for DFS http://ieee802.org/802_tutorials/nov06/802.11s_Tutorial_r5.pdf

  22. Internetworking • 1. Determine if the destination is inside or outside of the Mesh • Leverage layer-2 mesh path discovery • 2. For a destination inside the Mesh, • a. Use layer-2 mesh path discovery/forwarding • 3. For a destination outside the Mesh, • a. Identify the “right” portal, and deliver packets via unicast • b. If not known, deliver to all mesh portals

  23. Default Routing: Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) • On demand routing is based on Radio Metric AODV (RM-AODV) • Based on basic mandatory features of AODV (RFC 3561) • Extensions to identify best-metric path with arbitrary path metrics • Destinations may be discovered in the mesh on-demand • Pro-active routing is based on tree based routing • If a Root portal is present, a distance vector routing tree is built and maintained • Tree based routing is efficient for hierarchical networks • Tree based routing avoids unnecessary discovery flooding during discovery and recovery http://ieee802.org/802_tutorials/nov06/802.11s_Tutorial_r5.pdf

  24. RA-OLSR – Key Features (Optional Routing) • Multi Point Relays (MPRs) • – A set of 1-hop neighbor nodes covering 2-hop neighborhood • – Only MPRs emit topology information and retransmit packets • • Reduces retransmission overhead in flooding process in space. • (Optional) message exchange frequency control (fish-eye state routing) • – Lower frequency for nodes within larger scope • Reduce message exchange overhead in time.

  25. Security • The MPs are no longer wired to one another • There is no intrinsic node hierarchy • MPs need to maintain secure links with many other MPs • Transport security • Mutually authenticate neighbor MPs • Generate and manage session keys and broadcast keys • Data confidentiality over a link • Detect message forgeries and replays received on a link • Authentication and Initial Key Management • Basic approach is to re-use 802.11i/802.1X • Re-use of 802.11i facilitates implementation

  26. Usage Models

  27. Combat Usage Case • Vehicular mounted APs interconnected via WDS (wide area data services) • Dismounted troops carry client STAs • APs & client STAs are communication endpoints • Occasionally a STA may need to switch roles and become an AP in order to heal a bifurcated mesh • Predominance of multicast applications, e.g., situational awareness, conference mode VoIP, … • Type 1 encryption, e.g., Harris SecNet 11 • Auto configuration • plug and play, or nearly so • Multiple 802.11 ESS Meshes interconnected via JTRS ELOS links • Some JTRS ELOS links may belong to the WDS while others are external to the WDS, i.e., are terminated via IP routers rather than by 802.11 APs.

  29. 802.11y Dynamic Spectrum Access

  30. Background • FCC issued rules for novel “lite licensing” scheme for 3650-3700 MHz band • Licensees • pay small fee for nation-wide non-exclusive license • Pay additional fee for each high-powered base station (up to 20 W) • No need for license for clients nor operators, but devices must be “enabled” • Devices must be identifiable (to find the culprit) • Support contention based protocol to give opportunity to transmit to multiple licensees • Interference disputes between licensees must be resolved between themselves • Applications • Back haul for Municipal Wi-Fi networks • Industrial automation and controls • Campus and enterprise networking • Last Mile Wireless Broadband Access • Fixed Point to point links • Fixed point to mobile links • Public safety and security networks

  31. Ports 802.11a to 3.65 GHz – 3.7 GHz (US Only) FCC opened up band in July 2005 Conditionally approved Summer 2007, to sponsor ballot, ready 2008 Intended to provide rural broadband access (distances up to 5 km) Incumbents Band previously reserved for fixed satellite service (FSS) and radar installations – including offshore Must protect 3650 MHz (radar) Not permitted within 80km of inband government radar Specialized requirements near Mexico/Canada and other incumbent users Leverages other amendments Adds 5,10 MHz channelization (802.11j) DFS for signaling for radar avoidance (802.11h) Database of existing devices Access nodes register at http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls Must check for existing devices at same site 802.11y Source: IEEE 802.11-06/0YYYr0

  32. Key 802.11y technologies • DFS (802.11h) • Channelization (802.11j) • Contention based protocol (CBP) • geographic protection of the grandfathered satellite stations • database for users to research other users in their area • Location information • Extended channel switch announcement (ECSA) • Dependent notification of DFS • Continuous adaptation • Dependant station enablement (DSE)

  33. Dependant station enablement DSE Enabling Process • DSE controls when a dependant is allowed to transmit in licensed spectrum • enabling station need not be an access point, may be elsewhere • Need not be completed via a direct link https://edge.arubanetworks.com/article/standards-corner-august-2007-ieee-802-11y-3650-3700-mhz-operation-usa

  34. Summary • 802.11 is expanding into lots of applications • VOIP roaming (802.11r) • Cellular like ranges with dynamic spectrum access (802.11y) • Telematics (802.11p) • Mesh networks (802.11s) • Leverage and enhance previous amendments • Expect to see cross-pollination of technologies later.
