  2. Overview • Spread Spectrum • Wireless wide area networks: CDPD and Metricom • Wireless local area networks • Wireless LAN standard: IEEE 802.11, Hiperlan • Wireless ATM • Mobile IP Note: wireless phone services and standards not covered.

  3. Mobile vs Wireless • Mobile vs Stationary • Wireless vs Wired • Wireless media sharing issues • Mobile routing, addressing issues Mobile Wireless

  4. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum • Pseudo-random frequency hopping • Spreads the power over a wide spectrum Spread Spectrum • Developed initially for military • Patented by actress Hedy Lamarr • Narrowband interference can't jam Frequency 50 ms Time

  5. Spectrum Signal Noise Noise Signal (a) Normal (b) Frequency Hopping

  6. Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum 0 1 • Spreading factor = Code bits/data bit, 10-100 commercial (Min 10 by FCC), 10,000 for military • Signal bandwidth >10 × data bandwidth • Code sequence synchronization • Correlation between codes InterferenceOrthogonal Data 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 Frequency 5s Time

  7. DS Spectrum Time Domain Frequency Domain Time Frequency (a) Data Frequency (b) Code

  8. Wireless WAN Services • 4.8 kbps to 19.2 kbps nominal • Throughput 2 to 8 kbps • Wired backbone using leased lines • Packetized short transmission • Email, stock quotes, weather • Options: Ardis, RAM Mobile Data, Cellular,Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD), and Metricom

  9. Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) • Originally named “Celluplan” by IBM • Allows data to use idle cellular channels • Data hops from one channel to next as the channels become busy or idle Voice Call Data packets Idle Channel

  10. CDPD • Backed by 9 major service providers • Nationwide cellular packet data service • Connectionless and connection-oriented serviceConnectionless No ack, no guaranteesConnection-oriented reliable delivery, sequencing, flow control • Point-to-point and multipoint connections • Quickly hops-off a channel grabbed by cellular system. Currently, dedicated channels.

  11. Metricom • Spread-Spectrum in 902-928 MHz band • In-building, campus, and metropolitan area networking • Nearby units can communicate directly. • If the intended destination is not directly reachable, go via a “node” through the network. Up to 56 kbps. • Nodes are cheap (less than $1,000) • Flat monthly rate based on speed only Ref: http://www.metricom.com/ricohom.html

  12. Wireless LANs • IR Line of sight, short range, indoors • RF Need license • Spread-Spectrum: Resistance to interference Visible wave x-rays Infrared Ultraviolet 109 1010 1011 1012 1013 1014 1015 1016 1017 1018

  14. IEEE 802.11 Features • 1 and 2 Mbps • Supports both Ad-hoc and base-stations • Spread Spectrum Þ No licensing required.Three Phys: Direct Sequence, Frequency Hopping, 915-MHz, 2.4 GHz (Worldwide ISM), 5.2 GHz, and Diffused Infrared (850-900 nm) bands. • Supports multiple priorities • Supports time-critical and data traffic • Power management allows a node to doze off

  15. Hidden Node Problem • C cannot hear A. It may start transmitting while A is also transmitting  A and C can't detect collision. • Only the receiver can help avoid collisions A B C

  16. MobileNode AccessPoint Ready to send Clear to send Data Ack 4-Way Handshake

  17. IEEE 802.11 MAC • Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) • Listen before you talk. If the medium is busy, the transmitter backs off for a random period. • Avoids collision by sending a short message: Ready to send (RTS)RTS contains dest. address and duration of message.Tells everyone to backoff for the duration. • Destination sends: Clear to send (CTS) • Can not detect collision  Each packet is acked. • MAC level retransmission if not acked.

  18. Ad-Hoc vs Infrastructure

  19. Peer-to-Peer or Base Stations? • Ad-hoc (Autonomous) Group: • Two stations can communicate • All stations have the same logic • No infrastructure, Suitable for small area • Infrastructure Based: Access points (base units) • Stations can be simpler than bases. • Base provide connection for off-network traffic • Base provides location tracking, directory, authentication Þ Scalable to large networks • IEEE 802.11 provides both.

  20. IEEE 802.11 Architecture Server Ad-hocStation AccessPoint AccessPoint Station Ad-hoc Station Station Station Station 2nd BSS Basic Service Set Ad-hocnetwork

  21. IEEE 802.11 Priorities DIFS Contention Window • Initial interframe space (IFS) • Highest priority frames, e.g., Acks, use short IFS (SIFS) • Medium priority time-critical frames use “Point Coordination Function IFS” (PIFS) • Asynchronous data frames use “Distributed coordination function IFS” (DIFS) PIFS Random Backoff Busy SIFS Frame Time Carrier Sensed

  22. Time Critical Services CFP Repetition Interval • Timer critical services use Point Coordination Function • The point coordinator allows only one station to access • Coordinator sends a beacon frame to all stations.Then uses a polling frame to allow a particular station to have contention-free access • Contention Free Period (CFP) varies with the load. Contention-Free Period Contention Period DCF Access PCF Access Time Beacon

  23. Power Management • A station can be in one of three states: • Transmitter on • Receiver only on • Dozing: Both transmitter and receivers off. • Access point (AP) buffers traffic for dozing stations. • AP announces which stations have frames buffered.Traffic indication map included in each beacon.All multicasts/broadcasts are buffered. • Dozing stations wake up to listen to the beacon.If there is data waiting for it, the station sends a poll frame to get the data.

  24. Status and Future • 802.11 including both MAC and PHY approved June 1997. • More bandwidth in future by: 1. Better encoding: Multilevel modulation  8 Mbps 2. Fewer channels with more bandwidth  4 MHz channels. Or Entire ISM band for one channel. 3. Find another band. May get 150 MHz band in 5-GHz band. Fifteen 10-MHz channels with 15-20 Mb/s.

  25. HIPERLAN • High Performance Radio LAN • European Telecom Standards Institute (ETSI)'s subtechnical committee RES10. • 5.12-5.30 GHz and 17.1-17.3 GHz bands • Phy: 23.5 Mbps on 23.5 MHz, non-spread spectrum (GMSK) • MAC: CSMA/CA but different from IEEE 802.11 • Peer-to-peer only. • Power management: Nodes announce their wakeup cycle. Other nodes send according to the cycle. A low-bit rate header allows nodes to keep most ckts off.

  26. Wireless ATM: Terminology • Wireless Terminal Adapter: Allows a terminal communicate via wireless • Wireless Access Point: Allows a switch to communicate via wireless • Mobility Support Adapter: Allows a switch to maintain VCCs with Mobile terminals and switches Switch AccessPoint WirelessTerminalAdapter Terminal MobilitySupport

  29. PNNI + M, UNI + M, B-ICI + M PNNI’, UNI’ B-ICI’ AAL Signaling AAL Signaling AAL ATM ATM ATM WAL WAL WAL WATM Protocol Stacks • Wireless Access Layer (WAL) includesPHY, MAC, and LLC layers. • M = Mobility enhanced = Handoff, Location, QoS • PNNI’, UNI’, BICI’ support transport of mobility info User Plane Control Planes

  30. Mobile IP: Features • You can take you notebook to any location • Finds nearby IP routers and connects automatically. You don't even have to find a phone jack. • Only "Mobility Aware" routers and mobile units need new s/w. Other routers and hosts can use current IP • No new IP addresses or address formats • Secure: Allows authentication • Also supports mobile networks (whole airplane/car load of mobile units)

  31. IntermediateRouters Correspondent Home Agent ForeignAgent MobileNode IP HeaderTo: COA, ip-ip IP HeaderTo: Mobile, tcp Info Mobile IP: Mechanisms Home net MobileNode HomeAgent Correspondent New net MobileNode ForeignAgent

  32. Mechanism (Cont) • Mobile node finds foreign agents viasolicitation or advertising • Mobile registers with the foreign agentsand informs the home agent • Home agent intercepts mobile node's datagrams and forwards them to the care-of-address • Care-of-address (COA): Address of the end-of-tunnel towards the mobile node. May or may not be foreign agent • At COA, datagram is extracted and sent to mobile

  33. Summary • Spread spectrum: Frequency hopping or direct sequence • WANs: Ardis, RAM, Cellular, CDPD, Metricom • Proprietary LANs: Photonics, RangeLan, ALTAIR • LAN Standards: IEEE 802.11, Hiperlan • Wireless ATM work is just beginning • Mobile IP allows a node to move with same address
