IEEE 802.11 vs. WiFi
❑ IEEE 802.11 is a standard
❑ WiFi = “Wireless Fidelity” is a trademark
❑ Fidelity = Compatibility between wireless equipment
from different manufacturers
❑ WiFi Alliance is a non-profit organization that does
the compatibility testing (WiFi.org)
❑ 802.11 has many options and it is possible for two
equipment based on 802.11 to be incompatible.
❑ All equipment with “WiFi” logo have selected options
such that they will interoperate.

IEEE 802.1Q-2011) apply to all IEEE 802 technologies:
➢ IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
➢ IEEE 802.11 WiFi
➢ IEEE 802.16 WiMAX

IEEE Standards Numbering (Cont)
❑ IEEE 802.11* (e.g., 802.11i) standards apply to all
WiFi devices but may not apply to ZigBee devices
which are based on 802.15,
❑ Standards with all upper case letters are base
standards, e.g., IEEE 802.1AB-2009
❑ Standards with lower case are
additions/extensions/revisions.
Merged with the base standard in its next revision.
e.g., IEEE 802.1w-2001 was merged with IEEE
802.1D-2004
❑ Standards used to be numbered, sequentially, e.g.,
IEEE 802.1a, …, 802.1z, 802.1aa, 802.1ab, …
❑ Recently they started showing base standards in the
additions, e.g., IEEE 802.1Qau-2010

IEEE 802.11 Features
❑ Original IEEE 802.11-1997 was at 1 and 2 Mbps.
Newer versions at 11 Mbps, 54 Mbps, 108 Mbps, 200 Mbps,…
❑ All versions use “License-exempt” spectrum
❑ Need ways to share spectrum among multiple users and
multiple LANs: Spread Spectrum (CDMA)
❑ Three Phys:
➢ Direct Sequence (DS) spread spectrum using ISM band
➢ Frequency Hopping (FH) spread spectrum using ISM band
➢ Diffused Infrared (850-900 nm) bands
❑ Supports multiple priorities
❑ Supports time-critical and data traffic
❑ Power management allows a node to doze off

Hidden Node Problem


A B C

❑ A can hear B, B can hear C, but C cannot hear A.


❑ C may start transmitting while A is also transmitting
→A and C can't detect collision.
❑ CSMA/CD is not possible
➢ Only the receiver can help avoid collisions

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)
Other stations set their network allocation vector (NAV) and
wait for that duration
❑ Can not detect collision: Each packet is acked.
❑ MAC-level retransmission if not acked.

IEEE 802.11 Priorities
DIFS Contention Window
PIFS
Busy SIFS Random Backoff Frame

Carrier Sensed Time

❑ 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)

Time Critical Services
Super Frame
Contention-Free Contention
Period Period
PCF Access DCF Access
Beacon Time
❑ 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.

5-15
IEEE 802.11 DCF Backoff
❑ MAC works with a single FIFO Queue
❑ Three variables:
➢ Contention Window (CW)
➢ Backoff count (BO)
➢ Network Allocation Vector (NAV)

❑ If a frame (RTS, CTS, Data, Ack) is heard, NAV is set to the


duration in that frame. Stations sense the media after NAV
expires.
❑ If the medium is idle for DIFS, and backoff (BO) is not already
active, the station draws a random BO in [0, CW] and sets the
backoff timer.
❑ If the medium becomes busy during backoff, the timer is
stopped and a new NAV is set. After NAV, back off continues.

5-16
IEEE 802.11 DCF Backoff (Cont)
❑ Initially and after each successful transmission:
CW = CWmin
❑ After each unsuccessful attempt
CW = min{2CW + 1, CWmax}
Example: CWmin=3, CWmax=127
3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 127, 127, …

Washington University in St. Louis http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~jain/cse574-16/ ©2016 Raj Jain


5-17
Typical Parameter Values
❑ For DS PHY: Slot time = 20 us, SIFS = 10 us, CWmin = 31,
CWmax = 1023
❑ For FH PHY: Slot time = 50 us, SIFS = 28 us, CWmin = 15,
CWmax = 1023
❑ 11a: Slot time = 9 us, SIFS= 16 us, CWmin= 15,
CWmax=1023
❑ 11b: Slot time = 20 us, SIFS = 10 us, CWmin= 31,
CWmax=1023
❑ 11g: Slot time = 20 us or 9 us, SIFS = 10 us, CWmin= 15 or
31, CWmax=1023
❑ PIFS = SIFS + 1 slot time
❑ DIFS = SIFS + 2 slot times

5-18
Virtual Carrier Sense
❑ Every frame has a “Duration ID” which indicates how long the
medium will be busy.
➢ RTS has duration of RTS + SIF + CTS + SIF + Frame + SIF
+ Ack
➢CTS has duration of CTS + SIF + Frame + SIF + Ack
➢ Frame has a duration of Frame + SIF + ACK

➢ ACK has a duration of ACK

❑ All stations keep a “Network Allocation Vector (NAV)” timer


in which they record the duration of the each frame they hear.
❑ Stations do not need to sense the channel until NAV becomes
zero.

DCF Example
❑ Example: Slot Time = 1, CWmin = 5, DIFS=3, PIFS=2, SIFS=1
❑ T=1 Station 2 wants to transmit but the media is busy
❑ T=2 Stations 3 and 4 want to transmit but the media is busy
❑ T=3 Station 1 finishes transmission.
❑ T=4 Station 1 receives ack for its transmission (SIFS=1)
Stations 2, 3, 4 set their NAV to 1.
❑ T=5 Medium becomes free
❑ T=8 DIFS expires. Stations 2, 3, 4 draw backoff count between 0 and 5.
The counts are 3, 1, 2

resp. and wait till T=17
❑ T=15 Station 3 finishes data transmission
❑ T=16 Station 3 receives Ack.
❑ T=17 Medium becomes free
❑ T=20 DIFS expires. Station 2 and 4 notice that there was no transmission for DIFS.

802.11 Power Management
❑ Station tells the base station its mode:
Power saving (PS) or active
❑ Mode changed by power mgmt bit in the frame control header.
❑ All packets destined to stations in PS mode are buffered
❑ AP broadcasts list of stations with buffered packets in its
beacon frames: Traffic Indication Map (TIM)
❑ Subscriber Station (SS) sends a PS-Poll message to AP, which
sends one frame. More bit in the header Þ more frames.
❑ With 802.11e unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
(APSD): SS transmits a data or null frame with power saving
bit set to 0. AP transmits all buffered frames for SS.
❑ With Scheduled APSD mode:AP will transmit at pre-
negotiated time schedule. No need for polling.
❑ Hybrid APSD mode: PS-poll for some. Scheduled for other
categories http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~jain/cse574-16/
