Introduction
• What is 802.11?
• 802.11 refers to a family of specifications
developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN
technology.
• 802.11 Standards.
• 1997 - 802.11 up to 2Mbps (900MHZ).
• 1999 - 802.11b 2.4GHZ and up to 11Mbps.
• 1999 – 802.11a 5GHZ and up to 54Mbps.
• 200x – 802.11g 2.4GHZ and up to 54Mbps.
• 200x – 802.11e for QoS.
Quality of Service (QoS)
•
•
QoS is the capability to provide resource
assurance in a network.
QoS Parameters:
Bandwidth.
Delay.
Packet loss rate.
Jitter.
802.11 medium access control
schemes (MAC).
There are two basic medium
access control (MAC)
modes:
• Distributed Coordination
Function (DCF).
• Point Coordination Function
(PCF).
Distributed Coordination
Function (DCF)
• Contention-Based.
• Based on Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) algorithm.
• Uses a Contention (Backoff) algorithm.
• Designed for a best-effort service.
• Supports Asynchronous transmission.
Example of DCF
B1 = 25
B1 = 5

data
B2 = 20
wait
B2 = 15
B1 and B2 are backoff intervals
at nodes 1 and 2
B2 = 10
Limitation of Distributed
Coordination Function (DCF)
•
•
•
•
Does not provide any QoS guarantees.
Does not support real-time application.
Designed for equal priorities.
Does not support the concept of
differentiating frames with different user
priorities.
Point Coordination Function
(PCF)
•
•
•
•
•
Contention free-based.
Uses a centralized polling scheme.
Differentiation Considered based on priority.
Supports synchronous transmission.
Supports time-bounded multimedia
applications.
Limitation of Point Coordination
Function (PCF)
• poor QoS performance.
• Uses a simple round-robin
algorithm, which can not handle the
various QoS requirements.
• Transmission time of the polled
stations is unknown.
Hybrid Coordination Function
(HCF)
There are two methods of channel
access:
• Enhanced DCF channel access
(EDCA).
• HCF controlled channel access
(HCCA).
Enhanced DCF Channel
Access (EDCA)
• Contention-Based channel access.
• Provides service differentiation.
• Classifies the traffic into 8 different
classes.
• Each station has 4 access categories to
provide service differentiation.

HCF Controlled Channel
Access ( HCCA)
• Operates in CFP and CP.
• Provides Guaranteed Services
with a much higher probability
than EDCA.
• Combines the advantages of PCF
and DCF.
• Coordinates the traffic in any
fashion (not just round- robin).
Conclusion
• The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN) has
become one of the most widely used wireless
technologies in these days.
• The 802.11 standards can not provide any
QoS guarantees due to poor performance.
• The 802.11e offers QoS support to timesensitive applications, such as, audio and
video communications.
