    Chapter 1 Introducing Wireless Networking Introducing Wireless Networking Introduction IEEE 802.11 In the early ‘90s a lot of wireless systems were developed because people wanted to connect their laptop computers to the network (and Internet) when entering the office. The problem was that none of these systems was compatible with the other.
  • Page 10 Chapter 1 Introducing Wireless Networking > IS-95: IS-95 is a digital cellular standard from the United States that uses a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) scheme. In a CDMA system, users share time and frequency resources simultaneously. This occurs through assigning a distinct digital code to each user. This code is added to the information data and modulated onto the carrier, using spread spectrum techniques.

    Chapter 1 Introducing Wireless Networking WLAN Components and Terminology Access point A WLAN base station or Access Point (AP) behaves as a networking hub, allowing to interconnect several devices wirelessly to the local WLAN. WLAN topologies A WLAN consists of several devices. The logical grouping of devices belonging to a particular WLAN is called service set.
  • Page 12 Chapter 1 Introducing Wireless Networking Basic Service Set (BSS) or infrastructure network This WLAN topology requires a specialized station, called an AP. Wireless stations do not communicate directly with one another, but all communication is passed to the destination via this central AP. APs can be connected to a wired network via an uplink port.
  • Page 13 Chapter 1 Introducing Wireless Networking Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) The Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) uniquely identifies each BSS. The BSSID is a 48-bit address with the same format as an IEEE 802 MAC address. The value of all 1s is used to indicate the broadcast BSSID. The station that starts the BSS determines the BSSID of that BSS, depending on the topology: >...

  • Page 19: Mac Sublayer

    Chapter 2 802.11 Standards MAC Sublayer MAC architecture The MAC architecture uses the following two access methods: > Distributed Coordination Function (DCF): this is the fundamental access method of the MAC sublayer. The DCF is also known as Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA). This access method is implemented in all wireless stations, for use within both ad-hoc network and infrastructure network configurations.
  • Page 20 Chapter 2 802.11 Standards Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) The following components are important to understand the operation of the DCF: > Interframe space: in the DCF, a wireless station that wants to transmit a data frame must wait a specific amount of time after the station senses that the medium is not in use.
  • Page 21 Chapter 2 802.11 Standards Random backoff algorithm Backoff is a well known method to avoid collisions between several stations that want to access the medium. Each station must select a random number between 0 and a given value, called the Contention Window (CW). This random number is the number of 802.11 slot times that the station must wait before it is allowed to transmit.
  • Page 22 Chapter 2 802.11 Standards 802.11a Technical specifications The 802.11a standard operates in the U-NII band and applies Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as modulation technique.

    Chapter 3 Security Security Introduction One of the major drawbacks of implementing a WLAN is the security issue. Finding wireless networks is easy. It is a requirement for wireless access points to announce themselves to the world. 802.11 beacon frames, used to broadcast network parameters, are sent unencrypted.

    Chapter 3 Security Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) What is WEP? WEP is the optional security feature specified by the 802.11 standard. WEP offers both authentication and encryption mechanisms. When 802.11 security is enabled, each station has a secret key shared with the access point.

  • Page 37: Wi-Fi Protected Access (Wpa)

    Chapter 3 Security Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) In response to the weaknesses described in the previous section, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was developed. It was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was elaborated. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points.
  • Page 38 Chapter 3 Security RADIUS authentication RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. This is a client-server authentication, authorization and accounting protocol (AAA) used for remote network access. In order to do this, the RADIUS protocol prompts end users for their credentials through a Network Access Server, or NAS. The NAS is actually a client of a RADIUS server, which centrally controls user access to its client’s (the NAS) services.
  • Page 39 Chapter 3 Security WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) WPA offers a special mode where there is no 802.1x authentication infrastructure, permitting the use of a passphrase as a pre-shared key. WPA capable access points can act as authenticators and authentication servers at the same time. This gives non-enterprise users the ability to reduce costs and complexity by eliminating the need for a separate authentication server.

By the use of multiple virtual APs, a single physical AP can simultaneously offer access to multiple service networks by advertising multiple SSIDs.

  • Page 48: What Is A Virtual Access Point

    Chapter 6 Virtual Access Points What is a Virtual Access Point? Concept A virtual access point (AP) is a logical entity that exists within a physical AP. A single physical AP can support multiple virtual APs. Wireless stations cannot distinguish a situation with multiple physical APs from a situation with multiple virtual APs within a single physical AP.
  • Page 49 Chapter 6 Virtual Access Points Emulation of physical APs In order to provide wireless stations with the impression of multiple physical APs within the same area, a virtual AP must emulate the operation of a physical AP. A virtual AP implementation can approximate the behaviour of a physical AP to a greater or lesser degree.
