IEEE 802.11:

  • IEEE 802.11 stands for wireless LAN that was ratified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
  • There are many 802.11 standards for wireless LAN technology in the IEEE 802.11. The different 802.11 standards all share some common characteristics.
  • Basic service set (BSS) is a fundamental building block of 802.11 architecture. The BSS also known as Access Point (AP).
  • Every wireless station in 802.11 wants to associate with an access point before it can send or receive network layer data.

DIFS:

DIFS stands for DCF Interframe Spacing. It is a time delay for which sender wait after finishing its back off, previously sending RTS package.

SIFS:

SIFS stands for Shortest Interframe Spacing and it is consider as shortest among above mention networking technology.

Request to send (RTS)/ clear to send (CTS):

  • The optimal mechanism used by the IEEE 802.11 is RTS. This is used to decreasing the frame collisions which was introduced by the hidden node problem.
  • In order to avoid the collisions problem, the IEEE 802.11 protocol allows a station to use Request to Send (RTS) and Clear to Send (CTS) control frames to reserve access to the channel.
  • When a sender want to send a data frame, it can initial send an RTS frame to the AP. After AP receives the RTS frame, it will responds by broadcasting a CTS frame.

Suppose that a SW ARQ system with 1-bit sequence numbering has a time-out value that is less than the time required to receive an ACK. Station A sends 5 frames to station B. No errors occur during transmission of all 5 frames. One ACK is lost when it is transmitted the first time (see the following table), and no transmission of that ACK. No errors occur during transmission of the other 4 ACKS. Sketch the sequence of frame exchanges that transpire between stations A and B.

Compute the fraction of the bandwidth that is wasted on overhead (headers and retransmissions) for sliding window protocol using selective repeat on a heavily loaded 50 kbps satellite channel with data frames consisting of 40 header and 3960 data bits. ACK frames never occur. NAK frames are 40-bits. The error rate for data frames is 1 percent and the error rate for NAK frames is negligible. The sequence numbers are 8-bits.
Computer A uses the Go-back-N ARQ protocol to send a 110 Mbytes file to computer B with a window size of 15. Given each frame carries 100K bytes data. How long does it take to send the whole file (the total time taken from A sending the first bit of the file until A receiving the last acknowledgment)? Given that the transmission rate of the link is 500 Mbps and the propagation time between A and B is 15ms. Assume no data or control frame is lost or damaged and ignore the overhead due to header and trailer.
