This IEEE 802.11 overview discusses wireless differences, power management, bandwidth, security, addressing, and network protocols like 802.2, 802.3, 802.4, and 802.5. It explains the roles of MAC, PHY, OSI, logical link control, and upper-layer services, including mobility within BSS and ESS. The text delves into MAC details such as CSMA/CA, DCF, PCF, and physical layer technologies like DSSS and FHSS. It also explores future developments in the 802.11 standard, including 802.11a, 802.11b, and WPAN technologies for wearable devices.

802.11 services • Station Services • Authentication, deauthentication, privacy (WEP), MSDU delivery. • Disrtibuted System Services • Association, deassociation, distribution, integration, reassociation.
How does a station join a BSS? • Scanning • Passive • Active • Authentication • Association
MAC Details • CSMA/CA (time slot = 20 us) • Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). • Virtual carrier sense (RTS/CTS) • Exponential random backoff algorithm. • Priority Based • Point Coordination Function (PCF). • Segmentation & Reassembly.
Physical – DSSS details • 2Mbps w/DQPSK or 1Mbps w/DBPSK • 14 channels (11 channels for US). • 5 plans – 3 max. non-overlapping channels.
Physical – FHSS details • 1Mbps w/ 2 level GFSK • 79 1Mbps channels (2.402 – 2.480 GHz) • 78 sequences (3 sets of 26) • Minimum hop rate = 2.5 hop/s • Minimum hop distance = 6MHz
802.11 Future • 802.11a • High data rates 2.4GHz band: 5GHz band: 20 Mbps • 802.11b • High data rates 2.4GHz band: FH 4.5Mbps: DS 25.5Mbps • WPAN • Wearable Devices (30 feet, 1Mbps, 0.5 in3, lower power, low cost).
