  1. What is 802.11? • Suite of of physical layer (PHY) and link- layer protocols standardized by IEEE 802.11 Networks for Dummies Professors • Aka “WiFi” (or “wireless ethernet”) Lecture 25 • Wildly successful: hundreds of millions in use May 10, 2010 • Most laptops and smartphones have it today 6.02 Spring 2010 • Multiple possible uses 802.11 (WiFi) physical, link, subnetwork • Cellular wireless LANs layer essentials • Mesh networks Application of 6.02 topics and techniques • Mobile ad hoc networks Example Deployments Cellular Wireless LAN Architecture Wireless local area WiFi hotspots Boston-area WiFi APs beacon periodically networks Client scans, picks an AP To/from ¡Internet ¡ Associates, authenticates Obtains IP address AP wigle.net AP Cell ¡ Cell ¡ Wireless mesh networks Meraki.com MIT roofnet Base picture from Novell Common 802.11 Standards Layered System (Alphabet soup: a, b, g, n, …) Network layer (IP) Not part of 802.11 Access point selection Mobility management Subnetwork layer Mesh routing Framing Stop-and wait rxmit protocol Link layer MAC (mainly CSMA) Bit rate adaptation ( non-std ) Power-saving protocol ( non-std ) Channel (freq) allocations Physical layer (PHY) Modulation (mainly OFDM) Convolutional coding From wikipedia 1

  2. Multiple Frequency Channels In-Phase and Quadrature Transmitter DAC V Digital Bits Modulator In 20 MHz From wikipedia • 802.11b/g/n: up to 14 channels each 20 MHz wide, centered 5 MHz from each other in 2.4 GHz band • North America (1-11), Japan (1-14), most of world DAC (1-13) • b uses “direct sequence spread spectrum”, g uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing • 802.11a/n: 5 GHz band, 20 channels (in US), OFDM • “Etiquette rules” set power levels and other constraints Multiple Bit Rates In-Phase and Quadrature Receiver ADC V Digital Bits De- out Modulator Convolutional Modulations coding ADC From wikipedia I (cos) and Q (sin) as Constellations Channels and Sub-carriers 20 MHz With OFDM: 52 carriers, 312.5 KHz per carrier 16.25 MHz total used, with some “guard bands” 48 carriers used for data, 4 for control From Mythili Vutukuru 2
