  1. IEEE 802.11g Characteristics Following is not in the Course textbook but is an important topic. The material is based upon several whitepapers Jerry Bernardini CCRI J. Bernardini

  2. 802.11 Summary Characteristics CCRI J. Bernardini

  3. 802.11g Requirements Backward compatible with 802.11b Higher throughput than 802.11b Mixed mode operation CCRI J. Bernardini

  4. 802.11g Protection • Before an 802.11g client can transmit to an 802.11g AP it must reserve the medium. • Must transmit so 802.11b will understand. • Two Protection Methods • CTS-to self at 802.11b modulation (slow Clear to Send) • RTS-CTS at 802.11b modulation • CTS-to-self is more efficient but may not be seen by hidden-node • RTS-CTS is more reliable but has more overhead • Both Methods dramatically reduce the 802.11g throughput CCRI J. Bernardini

  6. Protection Throughput Effect CCRI J. Bernardini

  7. 802.11g Conclusions • 802.11g is significantly faster then 802.11b for all conditions • 802.11b station associating with a 802.11g network drops throughput due to protection • 802.11b station does not have to be active to reduce throughput (just associated ) • Mixed 802.11b/g deployments are likely to be common for the foreseeable future • Mixed 802.11b/a deployments will have higher throughput • 802.11b/g/n will also have to provide protection CCRI J. Bernardini
