 Two main standards families for Wireless Lan:
 IEEE 802.11 (802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g...)
 ETSI Hiperlan (Hiperlan Type 1, Type 2,
HiperAccess, HiperLink...)
 HiperLAN Family
Hiperlan 1 Hiperlan2 HiperAccess HiperLink

Description Wireless Wireless ATM Wireless Local Wireless Point-
Ethernet Loop to-Point
Freq. Range 5GHz 5GHz 5GHz 17GHz
PHY Bit Rate 23.5Mbps 6~54Mbps ~25Mbps ~155Mbps

(data rate) (data rate)
 Motivation of HiperLAN
 Massive Growth in wireless and mobile
communications
 Emergence of multimedia applications
 Demands for high-speed Internet access
 Deregulation of the telecommunications industry
 The History, Present and Future
 HiperLAN Type 1
 Developed by ETSI during 1991 to 1996
 Goal: to achieve higher data rate than IEEE 802.11 data

rates: 1~2 Mbps, and to be used in ad hoc networking of
portable devices
 Support asynchronous data transfer, carrier-sense

multiple access multiple access with collision avoidance
(CSMA/CA), no QoS guaranteed.
 HiperLAN Type 2
 Goal: Providing high-speed (raw bit rate ~54Mbps)

communications access to different broadband core
networks and moving terminals
 Features: connection-oriented, QoS guaranteed, security

mechanism, highly flexibility
 HiperAccess and HiperLink
 In parallel to developing the HIPERLAN Type 2

standards, ETSI BRAN has started work on standards
complementary to HIPERLAN Type 2

PHY: Physical Layer RRC: Radio Resource Control
DLC: Data Link Control Layer ACF: Association Control Function
CL: Convergence Layer DCC: DLC Connection Control
CAC: Channel Access Control Sublayer

This sub layer deals with the access request to the
channels.

The accomplishing of the request is dependent on the
usage of the channel and the priority request.
HIPERLAN2 Protocol Stack
 DLC: MAC Sublayer

The medium access control creates frames of 2 ms duration as
shown in Figure. With a constant symbol length of four μs this
results in 500 OFDM symbols.
Each MAC frame is further sub-divided into four phases with
variable boundaries:
Broadcast phase: The AP of a cell broadcasts the content of
the current frame plus information about the cell
(identification, status, resources).
Downlink phase: Transmission of user data from an AP to the
MTs.
Uplink phase: Transmission of user data from MTs to an AP.
Random access phase: Capacity requests from already
registered MTs and access requests from non-registered MTs.
HiperLAN2 defines six different so-called transport
channels for data transfer in the above listed phases.
These transport channels describe the basic message
format within a MAC frame.

Broadcast channel (BCH): This channel conveys basic
information for the radio cell to all MTs. This comprises
the identification and current transmission power of the
AP. The length is 15 bytes.

Frame channel (FCH): This channel contains a
directory of the downlink and uplink phases (LCHs,
SCHs, and empty parts). This also comprises the PHY
mode used. The length is a multiple of 27 bytes.

Access feedback channel (ACH): This channel gives
feedback to MTs regarding the random access during the
RCH of the previous frame. The length is 9 bytes.

Long transport channel (LCH): This channel
transports user and control data for downlinks and
uplinks. The length is 54 bytes.

Short transport channel (SCH): This channel
transports control data for downlinks and uplinks. The
length is 9 bytes.

Random channel (RCH): This channel is needed to
give an MT the opportunity to send information to the
AP/CC even without a granted SCH. The length is 9
bytes.
 DLC: Error Control
 Acknowledged mode: selective-repeat ARQ
 Repetition mode: typically used for broadcast
 Unacknowledged mode: unreliable, low latency
 DLC: other features
 Radio network functions: Dynamic frequency selection;
handover; link adaptation; multibeam antennas; power control
 QoS support: Appropriate error control mode selected;
Scheduling performed at MAC level; link adaptation; internal
functions (admission, congestion control, and dropping
mechanisms) for avoiding overload
Radio Link Control Sublayer
 It offers connection oriented systems ,offering QoS.
 Three main control functions
 Association control function (ACF): authentication, key
management, association, disassociation, encryption
 Radio resource control function (RRC): handover, dynamic
frequency selection, mobile terminal alive/absent, power
saving, power control
 DLC user connection control function (DCC): setup and
release of user connections, multicast and broadcast
Convergence Layer
HiperLAN2 supports two different types of CLs: cell-based
and packet-based.
cell-based CL expects data packets of fixed size (cells,
e.g., ATM cells).
packet-based CL handles packets that are variable in size
(e.g., Ethernet )
