|
More wireless phones that wired phones.
|
|
More mobile broadband than fixed broadband
|
|
|
|
two different challenges
|
|
- communication over wireless link
|
|
- mobility: handling the mobile user to changes point of attachment
|
|
|
|
elements
|
|
- wireless hosts
|
|
- does not always mean mobile
|
|
- base station
|
|
- connected to wired network
|
|
- relay: sendig packets between wired network and wireless hosts in its "area"
|
|
- e.g., cell towers
|
|
- wireless link
|
|
- used to connect mobile to base station, also used as backbone link
|
|
- various transmission rates, distances, frequency bands
|
|
|
|
architecture
|
|
- infrastructure mode
|
|
- base station connect mobiles to wired network
|
|
- handoff: mobile changes base station
|
|
- ad hoc mode
|
|
- no base stations
|
|
- can only transmit to other nodes within link coverage
|
|
- nodes organize themselves into a network: route among themselves
|
|
|
|
wireless link
|
|
- deccreased signal strength: radio signal attentuates as it travels
|
|
- interference from other sources: frequency shared by other technologies
|
|
- multipath propagation: signal reflects of objects arriving at sightly different times
|
|
|
|
SNR BER tradeoffs
|
|
- SNR - signal to noise ratio
|
|
- larger SNR is easire to extract signal
|
|
- BER - bit error rate
|
|
- larger SNR => smaller BER
|
|
- many parameters at physical level which alter SNR
|
|
|
|
hidden terminal problem
|
|
- multiple wireless sender, recievers create additional problems (beyond multiple access):

# WLAN and wireless link
|
|
Standards created and maintaned by IEEE
|
|
- covers data link layer and physical layer
|
|

|
|
- all use CSMA/CA for multiple access, and have base station and ad-hoc versions
|
|
|
|
WLAN architecture
|
|
- wireless hosts communicates with base station (Access point AP)
|
|
- Basic service set (BSS): set of devices that share the same service identifier
|
|
- wireless hosts
|
|
- AP
|
|
- in ad hoc mode: hosts only, no AP
|
|
|
|
channels and association
|
|
- spectrum divided into channels at different frequencies
|
|
- admin chooses frequency for AP
|
|
- interference possible: channel can be the same as a neighboring AP
|
|
- a new host must assiciate with the AP (connect)
|
|
- listens for *beacon frames*
|
|
- contain AP name (SSID) and MAC
|
|
- may perform authentication
|
|
- run DHCP to get IP in AP's subnet
|
|
|
|
# CSMA/CA
|
|
- avoid collisions
|
|
- CSMA sense before transmitting
|
|
- wifi: no collision detection
|
|
- hard due to: hidden terminal, fading,
|
|
- instead: CA collision avoidance
|
|
|
|
DCF (distributed coordination function)
|
|
- CSMA/CA with binary exponential backoff algorithm
|
|
|
|
sender
|
|
- if sense channel idle for DIFS (DCF interframe space) then send data (no CD)
|
|
- if sense channel busy:
|
|
- start random backoff time
|
|
- timer counts down while channel idle
|
|
- transmit when timer expires
|
|
- if no ACK, increase random back of interval, repeat 2
|
|
|
|
reciever
|
|
- if frame recieved ok
|
|
- return ACK after SIFS (short interframe space)
|
|
- ACK needed due to hidden terminal problems
|
|
|
|
collision avoidance
|
|
- handshake to "reserve" channel use for data frames using request-to-send (RTS) and clear-to-send (CTS) packets

# Cellular networks
|
|
solution for wide-area mobile internet
|
|

|
|
|
|
basic concepts
|
|
- base stations: a.k.a., cell tower
|
|
- cell: geographical area covered by a BS
|
|
- frequency reuse principle
|
|
- set of freqs is limited
|
|
- neighboring cells cannot use the same set of freqs
|
|
- a freq reuse pattern is a configuration of N cells where N is the reuse factor
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
handoff
|
|
- transfer ongoing call or data connection from one BS to another
|
|
- methods
|
|
- hard handoff
|
|
- break before make
|
|
- soft handoff
|
|
- make before break
|
|
- roaming
|
|
- users can use cell services when traveling outside the coverage area of home network by using a visited network
|
|
- roaming agreement bettween home at visited network
|
|

# 4G LTE
|
|
similarity to wired
|
|
- 
|
|
|
|
difference:
|
|
- 
|
|
|
|
Long-Term Evolution (LTE), 4G standard
|
|
- traffic recieved by wirless network is routed using the internet
|
|
|
|
mobile device
|
|
- 64-bit international mobile subscriber id (IMSI) stored on SIM (subscriber identity module) card
|
|
- UE (user equipment) - any that has a sim card and connects to a cell tower
|
|
|
|
base station
|
|
- at "edge" of carrier network
|
|
- 
|
|
|
|
Mobility management entity
|
|
- 
|
|
|
|
data plane protocol stack
|
|
- 
|
|
|
|
associating with a BS
|
|

|
|
|
|
# 5G
|
|
increase data date by 10x, 10x latency decrease, 100x increase in traffic capacity
|
|
|
|
5g NR
|
|
- two freq bands
|
|
- not back compatible
|
|
- massive MIMO
|
|
|
|
millimeter wave freq
|
|
- higher rates
|
|
- over shorter distances
|
|
- dense deployment of new base stations
