IEEE 802 Standards
WWAN / WMAN / WLAN / WPAN
Note: NFC (Near Field Communication)
A short-range high frequency wireless
communication technology which enables the
exchange of data between devices over about a 10
centimetre (around 4 inches) distance
 The technology is a simple extension of the
ISO/IEC 14443 proximity-card standard
(contactless card, RFID) that combines the
interface of a smartcard and a reader into a
single device

An NFC device can communicate with both
existing ISO/IEC 14443 smartcards and readers,
as well as with other NFC devices, and is thereby
compatible with existing contactless
infrastructure already in use for public
transportation and payment
 NFC technology is currently mainly aimed at
being used with mobile phones


Three main use cases for NFC
 card emulation: the NFC device behaves like
an existing contactless card
 reader mode: the NFC device is active and
read a passive RFID tag, for example for
interactive advertising
 P2P mode: two NFC devices are
communicating together and exchanging
information

Applications
 Mobile ticketing in public transport — an
extension of the existing contactless
infrastructure
 Mobile payment — the device acts as a debit/
credit payment card
 Smart poster — the mobile phone is used to
read RFID tags on outdoor billboards in order
to get info on the move
 Bluetooth pairing — pairing of Bluetooth
devices with NFC bringing them close together
and accepting the pairing

Other applications
 Electronic ticketing — airline tickets,
concert/event tickets, and others
 Electronic money
 Travel cards
 Identity documents
 Mobile commerce
 Electronic keys — car keys, house/office keys,
hotel room keys, etc.
 NFC can be used to configure and initiate
other wireless network connections such as
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Ultra-wideband

ROADSIDE-TO-VEHICLE COMMUNICATION (RVC)
SYSTEMS
•
•
Communication between roadside infrastructure
(RSU) and OBU
Two types of infrastructures
• Sparse RVC (SRVC) system
• Ubiquitous RVC (URVC) system
RVC SYSTEMS - SRVC
•
•
Provide communication services at hot spots
Examples
• a busy intersection scheduling its traffic light
• a gas station advertising its existence (and prices)
• parking availability at an airport
RVC SYSTEMS - URVC
•
•
Provide all roads with high-speed communication
Require considerable investments for providing
full (even significant) coverage of existing
roadways
HYBRID VEHICULAR COMMUNICATION (HVC) SYSTEMS
•
•
Extend the transmission range of RVC systems
Vehicles communicate with roadside
infrastructure even when they are not in direct
wireless range by using other vehicles as mobile
routers
HVC – Adv. & Disadv.

•
Advantage

Disadvantage
• network connectivity may not be guaranteed in
scenarios with low vehicle density
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET)

Message propagates to destination using a number of
intermediate links

If vehicle mobility causes links to break, message
rerouted using a different path

•
•
•
Longer ranges of operation (up to ~1000 meters)
High speed vehicles (up to ~500 km/h)
Extreme multipath environment (many reflections with
long delays)
Need multiple overlapping ad-hoc networks to operate
with extremely high quality of service
Support automotive applications (e.g. reliable broadcast)
IEEE 802.11p Multi-Channel
•
•
Control Channel (CCH)
• broadcast communication
• dedicated to short, high-priority, data and management
frames
• safety-critical communication with low latencies
• initialization of two-way communication on SCH
Service Channel (SCH)
• two-way communication between RSU and OBU or

HOW DSRC WORKS?
•
•
RSU
• announces to OBUs 10 times per second the
applications it supports
OBU
• listens on channel 172
• authenticates RSU digital signature
• executes safety apps first
• then, switches channels
• executes non-safety apps
• returns to channel 172 and listens

COORDINATION
CHANNEL COORDINATION
•
•
•
Each Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) second is split into 10
Sync Intervals (each 100ms)
Every Sync Interval is composed of alternating
• CCH Interval (50ms): all WAVE devices have to monitor the
CCH
• SCH Interval (50ms): nodes may switch to a SCH (RX or TX)
Synchronization is performed via GPS
IEEE 802.11P MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC)
•
•
•
Based on Distributed Control Function (DCF) with
CSMA/CA
CSMA/CA
• if the channel is sensed busy before transmission
then the transmission is deferred for a random
interval
Basic access mode and RTS/CTS mode are used on
SCH
DCF: BASIC ACCESS MODE
•
•
•
•
A node transmits a DATA packet if it senses the channel to
be idle
The receiver
• upon receiving an error-free packet, returns an ACK
The sender
• if the transmitting node does not get an ACK back, it
enters into back-off and retransmits after the back-off
period
Basic access mode suffers from hidden node problem
HIDDEN NODE PROBLEM
•
•
•
A is sending to B
C is ready to transmit to B
• it does not detect carrier and thus begins
transmission
• this produces a collision at B
C’s carrier sense did not provide the necessary
information since station A was hidden from it
A
B
C
RTS/CTS solves the hidden terminal problem!
DCF: RTS/CTS MODE
•
When a node A wants to send a packet to node B, it
initially sends a Request-to-Send (RTS)
A
•
Upon correctly receiving the RTS, node B
responds with Clear-to-Send (CTS)
B
•
After receiving the CTS, node A sends the DATA
packet to node B
A
B
•
•
If node B receives the DATA packet correctly, it
sends an Acknowledgment (ACK) back to node A
Any node that hears an RTS or a CTS is
prohibited from transmitting any signal for a
period that is encoded in the duration field of the
received RTS or CTS
•
•
The duration fields in RTS and CTS are set such that nodes
A and B will be able to complete their communication
within the prohibited period (Network Allocation Vector,
NAV)
Finally, if a node does not get a response to an RTS or a
DATA packet, it enters into an exponential backoff mode

The dark bars below node C and D indicates their NAV
BACKOFF INTERVAL
•
•
•
•
•
When channel is busy, choose a backoff interval in the
range [0, cw]
Count down the backoff interval when medium becomes
idle
Count down is suspended if medium becomes busy again
When backoff interval reaches 0, transmit RTS
Binary exponential backoff in 802.11 DCF
• when a node fails to receive CTS, cw is doubled up (up
to an upper bound, cwmax)
• when a data transfer completes successfully, cw is
reset to cwmin

(IEEE Std. 802.16-2004)

Service Specific Convergence Sublayer (CS)
 提供外部網路與MAC之間的對映
 MAC層可透過CS的服務存取點(Service Access Point,SAP)接收外部網
路的資料
 在IEEE 802.16-2004中,進入每個sub-layer但尚未處理的資料稱為服務資料單
元(SDU),而經過該sub-layer處理後形成特定格式的資料則稱為協定資料單
元(PDU)

Common Part Sublayer (CPS)
 CPS是MAC層的核心部份,包括媒體存取控制、頻寛分配、連線建立和維
護都是由這個sublayer負責
 CPS通過MAC SAP接收來自各種CS層的資料並對接收的資料實施QoS控制
 若無特別說明,一般所說的802.16 MAC層就是指MAC CPS

Security Sublayer (SS)
 提供認證、安全的Key交換和加/解密功能
