Question Answer
3 Phyiscal (PHY) layer specfications for 802.11 1) Infrared 2) FHSS 3) DSSS
802.11 radios PHY that can transmit in channels subdivided from the entire 2.4 GHz DSSS
Radios, which are permitted to transmit on 1 MHz subcarriers in the 2.4 FHSS
1 Mbps and 2 Mbps data rates were part of the ______ 802.11 standard Original
802.11b is also known as High-Rate DSSS (HR-DSSS)
Uses CCK (Complementary Code Keying) 802.11b
Data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps 802.11 - 1, 2 Mbps HR-DSSS: 802.11b - 5.5, 11Mbps
Uses 3 different 100 MHz unlicensed frequency 5Ghz
Data rates of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps 5Ghz (OFDM)
Technology called Extended Rate Physical (ERP) 802.11g
Two mandatory PHYs are: ERP-OFDM and ERP-DSSS/CCK 802.11g
Two optional PHYs are: ERP-PBCC and DSSS-OFDM 802.11g
Country code information is delivered in beacons and probe responses 802.11d
Defines mechanisms for dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and transmit power control (TPC) 802.11h
5.150 GHz–5.250 GHz U-NII-1 (lower) 4 channels
5.250 GHz–5.350 GHz U-NII-2 (middle) 4 channels
5.47 GHz–5.725 GHz U-NII-2 Extended 802.11h 11 channels
5.725 GHz–5.825 GHz U-NII-3 (upper) 4 channels
Major security enhancements in Wireless Standard 802.11i
Data privacy using RC-4 ciphers TKIP
Data privacy using AES encryption CCMP (Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol)
Defines the entire method for authentication, generating encryption keys for clients and APs Robust Security Network (RSN)
Japanese 4.9 GHz and 5 GHz bands 802.11j
Wireless Standard for QoS 802.11e
Contention-based method determining who gets to transmit on the wireless medium next Distributed Coordination Function (DCF)
Access point briefly takes control of the medium and polls the clients Point Coordination Function (PCF)
Has 2 access mechanisms to provide QoS Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF)
- extension to DCF - provide for the “prioritization of frames” based on upper-layer protocols Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA)
- Extension of PCF - Gives the access point the ability to provide for “prioritization of stations.” - Like PCF never adopted by WLAN vendors Hybrid Coordination Function Controlled Channel Access (HCCA)
WMM Wireless Multi Media
Fast basic service set transition (FT) 802.11r
Radio Resource Management (RRM) 802.11k
802.11k: 802.11h defined this for 5GHz frequency Transmit Power Control (TPC)
802.11k: These client statistics are reported back to the AP for RRM - Signal-to-Noise (SNR) - Signal strength (RSSI) - Data rates
Noise floor information and Channel load information is reported back to the access point 802.11k - RRM
Learn details about other access points that the client might want to roam to from the access point or the WLAN Controller Neighbour reports
Robust management frames Designed to prevent DOS attacks against management frames 802.11w
Broadcast and multicast frames are protected using the Broadcast/Multicast Integrity Protocol (BIP) 802.11w
Known as Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) 802.11p
Allows client stations to bypass the access point and communicate with direct frame exchanges 802.11z Direct Link Setup (DLS)
Wi-Fi Alliance’s Hotspot 2.0 specification and its Passpoint certification This standard and certification is designed to provide seamless roaming for wireless devices between your Wi-Fi network and other partner networks, similar to how cellular telephone networks provide roaming 802.11u
Provides for an exchange of information that can potentially ease the configuration of client stations wirelessly from a central point of management 802.11v Defines Wireless Network Management (WNM)
Standardizing mesh networking using the IEEE 802.11 MAC/PHY layers 802.11s
QoS enhancements to the 802.11 Media Access Control (MAC) for robust audio and video streaming for both consumer and enterprise applications 802.11ae
Very High Throughput (VHT) at 60Ghz at up to 7 Gbps 802.11ad
256-QAM modulation 802.11ac
Null data packet (NDP) Used in 802.11ac beamforming
Use of wireless in the newly opened TV white space (TVWS) frequencies between 54 MHz and 790 MHz 802.11af
