Explain the following terms and concepts in WiFi Networks
i) a) Request to send b) Clear to Send c) Hidden Terminal Problem
ii) In 802.11 DCF explain why SIFS is less than DIFS.
iii)How does a transmitting station in 802.11 know that a packet has been received correctly?
iv) Explain what is the difference between physical and virtual carrier sensing
v) What is the difference between active and passive scanning?
Solution
1) a) b) RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) is the optional mechanism used by the
802.11 wireless networking protocol to reduce frame collisions introduced by the hidden node
problem.
c)In wireless networking, the hidden node problem or hidden terminal problem occurs when a
node is visible from a wireless access point (AP), but not from other nodes communicating with
that AP. This leads to difficulties in media access control sublayer.
2) This is to give priority to some packets. For example after transmitting the DATA
packets the receiver should be allowed to send ACK packets without any collisions.
To accomplish this, we transmit the ACK packets immediately after SIFS time interval
for this puporse sifs is always less that difs.
3)For 802.11 and wireless LAN, all the polling packets have to be transmitted over the air,
generating much more overhead. More recent system use reservation slots, which is more
flexible but still require significant overhead.
4) Physical and Virtual Carrier Sense. The 802.11 standard specifies two ways to determine if
the medium is busy. ... Both cases are handled using a virtual carrier sense mechanism. It
consists of a Network Allocation Vector (NAV) maintained by each client.
5)A client can use two scanning methods: active and passive.
During an active scan, the client radio transmits a probe request and listens for a probe response
from an AP. With a passive scan, the client radio listens on each channel for beacons sent
periodically by an AP.
