3MAC

Media Access Control: Protocols provide:

� Direct access to the media

� Distributed control over resource allocation

� Typically broadcast (real or virtual)

4MAC

Media Access Control: Advantages� High data rates

(open new applications)

� Low cost

� Local organizational control

� Wireless is a broadcast media and efficient use of resources is important

� Enable sharing of resources

�Mobility via Wireless

5MAC

Media Access Control� MAC protocols establish a set of rules that govern who gets to use the shared transmission media in an efficient manner.

� Obstacle to perfect channel utilization

� Finite propagation delay means that each users’ knowledge of the state of the system is imperfect and thus they can not perfectly schedule transmissions, i.e., some time will be wasted attempting to learn the state of the system and/or learning the fate of transmissions.

� Lost messages

6MAC

Media Access Control

� Perfect Knowledge would lead to FIFO performance.

� Performance of MAC protocols will be compared to FIFO performance.

Alternative Media Access Control Strategies� Static Allocation

� FDM

� TDM

� Problems

� Management; not easy to add users– Requires signaling

� Wasteful in resources for bursty traffic� Example

� A transmission media has a rate of 10 Mb/s and supports 50 users. The system uses static allocation. A user has a 1 Mbyte file to transmit. The file transfer time is:

9MAC

Alternative Media Access Control Strategies

� Suppose you send a message to all the other 49 users saying, ‘I need the whole channel for about 1sec, do not use it, please’

�As long as the overhead incurred in sending the message is less than 39 sec. the user will get better performance.

10MAC

Alternative Media Access Control Strategies

� Deterministic

� Polling

� Token networks

� Random Access

�ALOHA

�Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA)

�CSMA with collision detection (CSMA/CD)

11MAC

Alternative Media Access Control Strategies: Dynamic allocation of resources

� Deterministic; Polling, Token Ring &Token Bus

� Advantage: the maximum time between users chances to transmit is bounded. (assuming a limit on the token holding time)

� Disadvantage: Time is wasted polling other users if they have no data to send.

� The technology does not scale

12MAC

Deterministic Protocols

�Roll Call Polling�Master/slave arrangement

�Master polls each node; Do you have data to send?

�If the polled node has data it is sent otherwise next node is polled.

� Example:� # nodes = 10� Link rate = 1 Mb/s� Packet Size = 1000 bits� Assume Low load � no queueing� Assume node interface delay = 0� 0.1 ms between nodes (30 km/(3x108m/s) = 0.1ms)� Find the effective transmission rate and efficiency.

– On average destination is 5 nodes away � .5 ms– Time to transmit 1000 bits = 0.5 ms + 1 ms = 1.5 ms– Effective transmission rate = 1000 bits/ 1.5 ms = 666Kb/s– Efficiency = (666 Kb/s)/(1000 Kb/s) = 0.66

� Repeat for link rate = 10 Mb/s– On average destination is 5 nodes away � .5 ms– Time to transmit 1000 bits = 0.5 ms + .1 ms = .6 ms– Effective transmission rate = 1000 bits/ .6 ms = 1.67 Mb/s– Efficiency = (1.67 Mb/s)/(10 Mb/s) = 16.7%

� Conclusion� Polling does not scale with link rate

16MAC

17MAC

Alternative Media Access Control Strategies: Random Access

� Each node sends data with limitedcoordination between users:

No explicit permission to transmit� Total chaos: Send data as soon as ready

� Limited chaos: Listen before sending data, if the channel is busy do not send.

� Further Limiting chaos: Listen before sending data, continue listening after sending and if collision with another transmission stop sending.[Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection CSMA/CD]

18MAC

Alternative Media Access Control Strategies: Random Access

� Advantage: Simple

� Disadvantage: �No guarantee that you will ever get to send.

�The MAC protocol technology does not scale

19MAC

Random Access Protocols: Assumptions

�Overlap in time and space of two or more transmissions causes a collision and the destruction of all packets involved.[ No capture effects]

�One channel

� For analysis no station buffering

20MAC

Random Access Protocols: Assumptions

� Time-Alternatives� Synchronization between users (Slotted time)

�No synchronization between users (unslotted time)

� Knowledge of the channel state- Alternatives�Carrier sensing (Listen before talk-LBT)

�Collision detection

21MAC

Random Access Protocols

Strategies

� ALOHA� No coordination between users

� Send a PDU, wait for acknowledgment,

if no acknowledgment ASSUME collision then backoff and try again

� Backoff� Select “random” time to attempt another transmission

� Slotted ALOHA� Same as ALOHA only time is slotted

22MAC


Strategies

� p-persistent CSMA

� Listen to channel, on transition from busy to idle transmit with probability p

� After sending the PDU, wait for acknowledgment,

if no acknowledgment then backoff and retransmit

� Non-persistent, if channel busy then reschedule transmission

� 1-persistent, Transmit as soon as idle

23MAC


Strategies

�CSMA/CD

�1-persistent but continue to sense the channel, if collision detected then stop transmission.

�CSMA/CD is used in 10, 100 Mb/s, and 1 Gb/s Ethernet

24MAC

Limitations on Random Access Protocols

� Distance�Time to learn channel state � Propagation time

� Speed� Time to learn channel state � Clocking speed

25MAC

Random Access ProtocolsAnalysis of ALOHA:

� Goal: Find Smax� Protocol Operation

� Packet of length L (sec) arrives at station i– Station i transmits immediately

– Station i starts an acknowledgment timer

� If no other station transmits while i is transmitting then success

� Else a collision occurred

� Station i learns that a collision occurred if the acknowledgment timer fires before the acknowledgment arrives

26MAC

Random Access ProtocolsAnalysis of Aloha

� If collision detected then station i retransmitts at a later time, this time is pseudo-random and is determined by a backoff algorithm

�Design Issue:

�Determine the maximum normalized throughput for an Aloha system

27MAC

1. = Average number of new message arrival to the system

2. = Average number arrivals to the system, i.e.,

new arrivals + retransmissions

Random Access ProtocolsCSMA Protocols

� Listen to the channel before transmitting to reduce the vulnerable period

� Let D = maximum distance between nodes (m)� Let R = the transmission rate (b/s)� Let c = speed of light = 3 x 108m/s� The propagation time = D/(kc)=τ (sec)

k is a constant for the physical media: k = .66 for fiber, k=.88 for coaxExample: 1 km- Free space propagation time = 3.33 us- Fiber propagation time = 5.05 us- Coax propagation time = 3.79 us

33MAC


� Assume node A transmits at time t and node B at t -x, where x � 0(That is, Node B transmits right before it hears A)

� If after 2D/kc sec. no collision occurred, then none will occur

� Let a= τ/X=(D/kc)/X = normalized length of the bus

� Remember X(sec) = L/R(Packet Length [bits])/R [b/s]

� As a --> 1, CSMA performance approaches Aloha performance

34MAC


� Limits on a=relative size of the network

�Want a small to keep vulnerable period short by having:

–Short bus

–Lower speeds

–Long packets

� Lower limit (Minimum) packet length to upper bound a

�Maximum packet length to be fair

a= DR/L(kc)whereL= packet length in bitsc= 3x108m/sk= media prop. constant

Collision Free Protocols

� Collision free protocols establish rules to determine which stations sends after a successful transmission.

� Assume there are N stations with unique addresses 0 to N-1.

� A contention interval is a period after a successful transmission that is divided into N time slots, one for each station.

40MAC


� If a station has a PDU to send it sets a bit to 1 in its time slot in the contention interval.

� At the end of the contention interval all nodes know who has data to send and the order in which it will be sent.

41MAC


� Problems:�Fairness

�Flexibility

�Many systems use the basic approach of collision free protocols

42MAC

Random Access and Reservations

� Distributed systems: Stations implement a decentralized algorithm to determine transmission order, e.g., reservation Aloha

� Centralized systems: A central controller accepts requests from stations and issues grants to transmit� Frequency Division Duplex (FDD): Separate frequency bands for uplink & downlink

� Time-Division Duplex (TDD): Uplink & downlink time-share the same frequency channel

� The centralized system is used in many access technologies, e.g.,� DOCSIS� IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX)� Wideband code division Multiple access (WCDMA)

�High Speed Data Packet Access (HSDPA) - Evolution from GSM� Long Term Evolution (LTE)� CDMA2000

� Evolution Data optimized EV-DO – Evolution from CDMA

� System Characteristics

�Asymmetric

– Upstream� Minislots with requests for resources

� Access Minislots via random access protocol

– Downstream� Accepts minislots and includes grants for transmission on the upstream

� Grants control the flow on the upstream link

Throughput� Let

� R = Link rate (b/s)

� L = packet size (bits)

� v= minislot size (sec)

� M = Number of stations

� X = L/R (sec)

� Assume� Propagation delay < X � Access network

� Heavy load � stations have packets to send

� All requests are granted

� One minislot needed for each packet/station

� Time to transmit M packets = Mv+MX


47MAC

Throughput

� If k frame transmissions can be reserved with ONE reservation message and if there are M stations, as many as Mk frames can be transmitted in XM(k+v) seconds


48MAC

Throughput: with random access

contention for Minislots

� Real systems have too many nodes for each to get a fixed minislot.

� Therefore a random access protocol is used to transmit in a minslot.� A station attempts to obtain a grant by transmitting in a minslot in the upstream direction.

� If successful the station will get the grant on the down stream

� If unsuccessful then assume collision, backoff and retry. Here unsuccessful means that the station did not see a grant in corresponding the down stream information.

49MAC

Throughput: with random access contention for Minislots

� Assume slotted Aloha is used for contention for minislots.

� On average, each reservation takes at least e = 2.71 minislot attempts

� Effect is just to make the minislots seem longer

Repeaters & Bridges� Repeaters forwards electrical signals from one Ethernet to another

� Bridges (sometimes called hubs)

� Interconnects multiple access LANs to form Extended LANs

� Only forwards frames destined for other LANs

� Link layer forwarding based on MAC address

� Bridges are devices that forward link-level frames from one physical LAN to another

� Bridging forwarding rules prevent loops

68MAC

Switches & Routers� Switches

– Forwards packets– Star topology– New hosts can be added without degrading the performance of the existing hosts

– Scales by adding additional switches (if supported by the switch fabric)

� Routers & Gateways– Forwards packets– Interconnects two or more networks (maybe owned by different organizations)

– Forwarding� take packet from input port then use routing table to find an output port then forward packet to that port.

– Routing� process of filling in the routing table

69MAC

Switches & Routers� Layer 2 switching is performed by looking at a destination MAC address within a frame. Layer 2 switching builds and maintains a switching table that keeps track of which MAC addresses belong to each port or interface.� Ethernet switches

�ATM Switches

802.11a

� 802.11a supports mandatory data rates of 6, 12, and 24 Mbps

� Optional data rates of 9, 18, 36, and 54 Mbps

� Operates in 5-GHz UNII (Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure) band

� Occupies 300 MHz in three different bandwidths of 100 MHz each:5.150 to 5.250 GHz (U-NII lower band)5.250 to 5.350 GHz (U-NII middle band)5.725 to 5.825 GHz (U-NII upper band)802.11a provides 12 channels, each channel being 20 MHz wide, and each centered at 20 MHz intervals (beginning at 5.180 GHz and ending at 5.320 GHz for the upper and middle U-NII bands, beginning at 5.745 GHz and ending at 5.805 GHz for the upper U-NII band). It is important to note that none of these channels overlap.

� 802.11a uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) with multiple carriers (aka "subcarriers") per channel

Beware of the Tragedyof the Commons

78MAC

802.11b� Supports data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mb/s.

� Operates in the 2.4-GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band.

� Occupies 83.5 MHz (for North America) from 2.4000 GHz to 2.4835 GHz.

� 802.11b provides 11 channels (for North America), each channel being 22 MHz in width, and each channel centered at 5 MHz intervals (beginning at 2.412 GHz and ending at 2.462 GHz). This means that there are only 3 channels which do not overlap (channels 1, 6, 11).

� 802.11b uses DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) with a single carrier per channel.

� Both 802.11b and 802.11a use the 802.11 MAC, both use CSMA/CA to "listen" before transmitting on a given channel (to avoid colliding with another transmitter by sensing if the channel is occupied).

79MAC

802.11g

� A physical layer standard for WLANs in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio band.

� The maximum link rate is 54-Mbps per channel--compared with 11 Mbps for 11b.

� 802.11g standard uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation but, for backward compatibility with 11b, it also supports complementary code keying (CCK) modulation and, as an option for faster link rates, allows packet binary convolutional coding (PBCC) modulation.

� Speeds similar to 11a and backward compatibility may appear attractive

� Advantage-provides ability for dual-mode 2.4GHz and 5GHz products, in that using OFDM for both modes to reduce silicon cost.

Broadband Access Technologies:DSL - digital subscriber line

� VDSL - Very high data rate DSL� Downstream - 13 Mb/s - 52 Mb/s

� Upstream - 1.5 Mb/s - 2.3 Mb/s

� G.lite officially ITU-T standard G-992.2

� Downstream - 1.544 Mb/s to 6 Mb/s

� Upstream - 128 Kbps to 384 Kbps

� Does not require splitting of the line at the user end

� DSLAM - digital subscriber line access multiplexer

� Speed depends on distance from DSLAM (max 18,000 ft)

Bluetooth

� Bluetooth- Harald Blaatand (Bluetooth) II (940-981) the Viking King who unified Denmark and Norway

� Original Goal: desk top cable replacement

� Used to describe the protocol of a short range (10 meter) frequency-hopping radio link between devices. � devices are then termed Bluetooth - enabled. Documentation on Bluetooth is split sections, – Bluetooth Specification

– Bluetooth Profiles.

107MAC

Bluetooth

� The Specification describes how the technology works (i.e the Bluetooth protocol architecture),

� The Profiles describe how the technology is used (i.e how different parts of the specification can be used to fulfill a desired function for a Bluetooth device)

� Uses frequency hopping in 79 hops displaced by 1 MHz, starting at 2.402GHz and finishing at 2.480GHz

� Data Rate < 1Mb/s

Satellite Networks: MEO

�Medium earth orbit

� 5,000 - 15,000 km

� Period ~ 4-9 hours

� Fewer satellites

111MAC

Satellite Networks: LEO

� Low earth orbit

� 1500 km

� Periods up to 2 hours

� More satellites

� Cheaper to launch

112MAC

Satellite Networks� Properties

� Large delay ~ 270 ms (Geosynchronous)

� Up and down links are on different frequencies

( full duplex)

� CSMA/CD will not work because of long delay

� Token networks are not applicable because of long delays, e.g., 100 nodes will have a 27 sec. token return time.

113MAC

Satellite Networks: Reservation ALOHA

� Consider a slotted system with N slots per frame (TDM like)

� Each slot can be in one of three states:– Empty, i.e., not is use

– Mine, i.e., in use by me

– Other, i.e., in use by another node

� Protocol– If state is mine then continue to use it

– If state is other then do not send in that time slot

– If state is empty then contend for that slot using Aloha

114MAC

Satellite Networks

� At low loads the network performs like a random access systems, i.e., no waiting for permission to send.

� At high loads the systems performs like a TDM system.

� This scheme has a problem with fairness

� Distributed assignment of time slots

115MAC

Satellite Networks� TDMA - Time Division Multiple

Access

� Up stream stations request bandwidth, time slots.

� Central controller grants requests for bandwidth

� Central controller has global view of all requests

� Centralized assignment of time slots

116MAC

Satellite Link Bandwidth Tests

Microsoft Remote Desktop was used to access the data server PC located in the NESA HQ building, then

internet access bandwidth tests were initiated. Remote Desktop has a significant impact on the available

bandwidth reported. Typical numbers directly from the NESA site are 1440 kbps up / 700 kbps down.
