IEEE 802.11 is the standard for wireless LAN technology that uses either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz spectrum. 802.11 standards including 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac specify the data rates, frequencies, and transmission methods used. Signal strength is affected by distance from the access point, number of connected devices, and noise. MIMO technology improves throughput, reliability, and coverage area using techniques like spatial multiplexing and transmit beamforming.

Wirelrss LAN

IEEE 802.11

Frequency • High Frequency higher data rate lower distance


• Low Frequency lower data rate higher distance
Unlicensed Frequency • 2.4 - 2.5 GHz UHF
• 5.725 - 5.825 GHz SHF
ISM Applications • Industrial, Scientific and Medical
IEEE Standard • Responsible for standardization of manufacturing WLAN

2.4 GHz (ISM) 5 GHz (UNII)


Transmission Method DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) OFDM (Orthogonal Freq Division Multiplexing)
Channel Width 22 MHz 20 MHz
Distance between Channels 5 MHz 20 MHz
Note:
• Using 2 AP : cannot use 2 nearby channels
Standard Band Data Rate (UP TO) Transsmission Method
802.11b 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps DSSS
802.11a 5 GHz 54 Mbps OFDM
802.11g 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps OFDM
802.11n 2.4 - 5 GHz 600 Mbps OFDM
802.11ac 5 GHz 7000 Mbps OFDM
MCS (Modulation Coding Scheme)
• 802.11b there is 4 speeds : 1 Mbps , 2 Mbps , 5.5 Mbps , 11 Mbps
MCS 0 Corresponds speed 1 Mbps
MCS 1 Corresponds speed 2 Mbps
MCS 2 Corresponds speed 5.5 Mbps
MCS 3 Corresponds speed 11 Mbps
Signal strength is affected by the following factors:
• Distance from Access Point
• Number of Connecting devices from the same source,
• Signal strength decreases with increase of Number of Connecting devices and with increase of Noise on signal
MIMO technology (Multiple Input Multiple Output)
Throughput - Channel Aggregation.
(get higher data rates) - Spatial multiplexing
- MAC layer efficiency
Reliability - Transmit beam forming
(get more coverage area) - Maximal Ratio Combining. (MRC)
Channel Aggregation - 5 GHz only aggregate 2 OFDM channels (20 MHz, 52 subcarriers for each)
- to get 1 channel 40 MHz
AP types - Dual Radio AP Has 4 antennas (2 with 2.4 GHz and 2 with 5 GHz)
- Dual Band AP Has 4 antennas work eithet 2.4 or 5 GHz iUp to 6.9 Gbps
Robust Channel - Can aggregate 4 channels.
Aggregation - Each 40 MHz to get one channel with band 160 MH
