Intro Wlan
Wlan (Wi-Fi) is IEEE 802.11 standard
Wlan is a Wireless LAN
Alternative to cabled LAN
Radio interface, either send or receive
2.4 Ghz free (microwave & bluetooth)
5.155.35 GHz free for indoor usage in
Norway
campus, school, airports (hotspot)
802.11 Medium Acess Control (MAC)
Ad-hoc:
All potential masters and slaves at the same
time
IBSS
More of infrastructure
one subnet, one ESSID
BSS
Infrastructure or peer-to-server
Nodes can not choose its link, traffic is always
to/from the Access Point (AP)
802.11 says CSMA/CA (PCF)
Hotspots
x APs acts between at least two wireless nodes
APs in a ESS supports up to 255 nodes (one subnet)
Solution is centralized and scalable
Often used solution today (2004)
Example Ad-hoc without protocol
P2P type,one-hop only (802.11)
Ad-hoc with protocol (routing)
-multihop-
Ad-hoc with protocols, selfconfiguring
2
originating node
1 3
Two-hop node
5
4 One-hop node
MPR node
MPR(1)={2,3,4,5}
OLSR data structures
MPR relays and multicast control traffic when
theres are topology changes. The receiving nodes use
these TC messages to update the:
Example of plugin:
PAA proactive Auto-configuration
No use of DHCP, every avoiding point-of-failure.
Client when unconfigured and server when configured.
Why MANET?
No centralized administration
mobile-user friendly (PDA, laptop)
Self-creating, self organizing
Anytime, anywhere
No fixed topology
Fault resilient
Wireless extension to the Internet Protocol (IP)
