Solving the 802.11 General Link Problem through Divide and Conquer Strategies

DESCRIPTION

This paper by Donald Eastlake from Huawei Technologies presents an innovative approach to address the 802.11 General Link problem by breaking it down into three independent sub-problems. By analyzing various combinations of solutions for these sub-problems, a more effective networking framework can be established. Topics covered include the locus of control within an infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS), reporting mechanisms, and addressing formats, particularly in relation to aggregated frames and the reflection problem.

  1. Divide and Conquer Authors: • Date:2013-01-13 Donald Eastlake, Huawei Technologies

  2. Abstract • I believe the the 802.11 General Link problem can be divided into three relatively independent sub-problems. Various combinations of the solutions to these sub-problems can be considered. Donald Eastlake, Huawei Technologies

  3. Divide and Conquer • I believe the the 802.11 General Link problem can be divided into three relatively independent sub-problems. Various combinations of the solutions to these sub-problems can be considered. • Locus of Control • Reporting to Rest of Network • Addressing Formats and the Reflection Problem Donald Eastlake, Huawei Technologies

  4. Divide and Conquer • Locus of Control in an Infrastructure BSS • Distributed among all STAs • Mostly at the AP • Reporting to Rest of Network – What does it look like? • Set of point-to-point links • A virtual bridge • (irtual link – no support?) • Addressing Formats and the Reflection Problem • 4 Address format • 802.11n aggregated frames • vPort solution • (Other ?) Donald Eastlake, Huawei Technologies

  5. Donald Eastlake, Huawei Technologies Current Proposals = Each STA does bridge control and infrastructure BSS appears to be a set of P2P links. 802.1 Doc:http:new-nfinn-11-medium-choice-0812- v04.pdf = vPort. 11-12/1449 = Most control at AP and infrastructure BSS appears to be a single virtual bridge. 11-12/1232
