IEEE 802.11 Architecture and Services
- 1. NAME: DHRUMIL I. PANCHAL SEM: 7TH SEMESTER SUBJECT: MOBILE COMPUTING AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION BRANCH: COMPUTER ENGINEERING (B.E.) YEAR: 2020-21 Welcome
- 2. TOPIC IEEE 802.11 Architecture and Services
- 3. CONTAIN IEEE 802.11 Architecture IEE 802.11 Services
- 5. IEEE 802.11 SERVICES IEEE 802.11 defines nine services that need to be provided by the wireless LAN to provide functionality equivalent to that which is inherent to wired LANs. Table lists the services and indicates two ways of categorizing them.
- 6. IEEE 802.11 SERVICES No. Service Provider Used to Support 1 Association Distribution system MSDU delivery 2 Authentication Station LAN access and security 3 Deauthentication Station LAN access and security 4 Disassociation Distribution system MSDU delivery 5 Distribution Distribution system MSDU delivery 6 Integration Distribution system MSDU delivery 7 MSDU delivery Station MSDU delivery 8 Privacy Station LAN access and security 9 Reassocation Distribution system MSDU delivery
- 7. IEEE 802.11 SERVICES 1. The service provider can be either the station or the DS. Station services are implemented in every 802.11 station, including AP stations. Distribution services are provided between BSSs; these services may be implemented in an AP or in another special-purpose device attached to the distribution system. 2. Three of the services are used to control IEEE 802.11 LAN access and confidentiality. Six of the services are used to support delivery of MAC service data units (MSDUs) between stations. The MSDU is a block of data passed down from the MAC user to the MAC layer; typically this is a LLC PDU. If the MSDU is too large to be transmitted in a single MAC frame, it may be fragmented and transmitted in a series of MAC frames.
- 8. DISTRIBUTION OF MESSAGES WITHIN A DS The two services involved with the distribution of messages within a DS are distribution and integration. 1. Distribution is the primary service used by stations to exchange MAC frames when the frame must traverse the DS to get from a station in one BSS to a station in another BSS. If the two stations that are communicating are within the same BSS, then the distribution service logically goes through the single AP of that BSS. 2. The integration service enables transfer of data between a station on an IEEE 802.11 LAN and a station on an integrated IEEE 802.x LAN. The term integrated refers to a wired LAN that is physically connected to the DS and whose stations may be logically connected to an IEEE 802.11 LAN via the integration service. The integration service takes care of any address translation and media conversion logic required for the exchange of data.
- 9. ASSOCIATION-RELATED SERVICES The primary purpose of the MAC layer is to transfer MSDUs between MAC entities; this purpose is fulfilled by the distribution service. For that service to function, it requires information about stations within the ESS that is provided by the association-related services. The standard defines three transition types, based on mobility: 1. No transition: A station of this type is either stationary or moves only within the direct communication range of the communicating stations of a single BSS. 2. BSS transition: This is defined as a station movement from one BSS to another BSS within the same ESS. In this case, delivery of data to the station requires that the addressing capability be able to recognize the new location of the station. 3. ESS transition: This is defined as a station movement from a BSS in one ESS to a BSS within another ESS. This case is supported only in the sense that the station can move. Maintenance of upper-layer connections supported by 802.11 cannot be guaranteed. In fact, disruption of service is likely to occur.
- 10. To deliver a message within a DS, the distribution service needs to know where the destination station is located. Specifically, the DS needs to know the identity of the AP to which the message should be delivered in order for that message to reach the destination station. To meet this requirement, a station must maintain an association with the AP within its current BSS. Three services relate to this requirement.
- 11. Association: Establishes an initial association between a station and an AP. Before a station can transmit or receive frames on a wireless LAN, its identity and address must be known. For this purpose, a station must establish an association with an AP within a particular BSS. The AP can then communicate this information to other APs within the ESS to facilitate routing and delivery of addressed frames. Reassociation: Enables an established association to be transferred from one AP to another, allowing a mobile station to move from one BSS to another. Disassociation: A notification from either a station or an AP that an existing association is terminated. A station should give this notification before leaving an ESS or shutting down. However, the MAC management facility protects itself against stations that disappear without notification.
