Introduction
Wireless Networking:
refers to any kind of networking that does not involve cables.
Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented
and administered using a transmission system called radio waves.
This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of
the network structure

1. Wireless Wide Area Networks (Wireless WANs)
Infrastructure-based networks
Connections can be made over large geographical areas, across cities or even
countries
Use of multiple antenna sites or satellite systems maintained by wireless service
providers.
Examples :Cellular networks (like GSM networks or CDMA networks) and satellite
networks

2. Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (Wireless MANs).
Referred as fixed wireless , infrastructure-based networks
Enable users to establish broadband wireless connections among multiple locations ,for
example, among multiple office buildings in a city or on a university campus
Serve as backups for wired networks
Radio waves and infrared light can be used to transmit data.
3. Wireless Local Area Network (Wireless LANs)
Enable users to establish wireless connections within a local area with in a 100 m range
Provide flexible data communication systems that can be used in temporary offices or
other spaces that can operate in infrastructure-based or in ad hoc mode
Include 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and Hiperlan2
4. Wireless Personal Area Networks (Wireless PANs).
Enable users to establish ad hoc, wireless communication among personal wireless
devices such as PDAs, cellular phones, or laptops that are used within a personal
operating space, typically up to a 10 meter range.
Two key Wireless PAN technologies are
Bluetooth : is a cable-replacement technology that uses radio waves to transmit data
to a distance of up to 910 m,
Infrared: connect devices within a 1 m range.

13
Chandra Prakash, LPU
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
14
Chandra Prakash, LPU
High frequency wave such as X-rays and gamma rays though
theoretically better for information propagation, are not used due to
practical concerns
Difficulty to generate and modulate these waves
Harm they cause to living things.
Do not propagate well through building
Low frequency band comprised of the radio, microwave, infrared
and visible light.
Radio waves are easy to generate and are widely used for indoor and
outdoor communication due to
Ability to pass through building and ability to travel long distance.
Chandra Prakash, LPU
15
At low frequencies the wave can pass through obstacles easily but at
the cost of power
o Power falls with an invers squared relation with respect to the distance.
o VLF, LF and MF band
o Ground waves , follow curvature of Earth.
o Up to few hundred km.
o Microwaves transmission in SHF band travel in straight line and hence
narrowly focused. Eg: used for mobile and TV transmission . Need repeaters at
regular distance.
o Infrared waves and waves in the EHF . Short range communication .
o Widely used in television, VCR, and stero remote control.
o Visible Light used of lasers to connect LANs on two building through roof-
top antennas .

Chandra Prakash, LPU
Frequency Division Multiple Access
Available bandwidth is divided into multiple frequency channels/bands
Frequency band are separated from each other by guard frequency band to
eliminated inter channel interference.
But this result in under-utilization of frequency spectrum.
FDMA can be used with both analog and digital signal.
Eg: analog system for portable telephone and automobile telephone.
Base station (BS) dynamically allocates a different carrier frequency to each node.
To conserve energy at Mobile station (MS) the uplink frequency is always lower
than downlink frequency.
20 Chandra Prakash, LPU
Time Division Multiple Access
Share available bandwidth in the time domain (time slot/channels).
Each node is assigned one or more time slots in each frame, and the node
transmits only in those slots.
Guard intervals are introduced between time slot to prevent
synchronization error and inter-symbol interference.
FDMA requires devices to have the capability of simultaneously receiving
and transmitting signals, which leads to increased cost.
But in TDMA device can use same slot for transmitting and receiving
signals
Used in GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
21 Chandra Prakash, LPU
Time Division Multiple Access
22
Chandra Prakash, LPU
Code Division Multiple Access
All users share the same frequency all the time
Every channel uses the entire spectrum.
Individual conservation are encoded with a pseudo-random digital
sequence.
CDMA employs spread-spectrumtechnology and a special coding scheme
(where each transmitter is assigned a code) to allow multiple users to be
multiplexed over the same physical channel.
CDMA was first used during World War II by English Allies.
Two techniques
Frequency Hopped Multiple Access (FHMA)
The sender receiver change frequency (calling hopping) using the same pseudo-
random sequence, hence they are synchronized
Direct Sequence Multiple Access (DSMA)
In CDMA, the narrowband message signal is multiplied by a very large bandwidth
signal called spreading signal (code) before modulation and transmission over the
air.
To pick out the signal of specific user, this signal is modulated with a unique code
sequence.
23 Chandra Prakash, LPU
Difference in TDMA,FDMA and
CDMA
An analogy to the problem of multiple access is a room (channel) in
which people wish to talk to each other simultaneously. To avoid
confusion, people could take turns speaking (time division), speak at
different pitches (frequency division), or speak in different languages
(code division).
CDMA is analogous to the last example where people speaking the same
language can understand each other, but other languages are
perceived as noise and rejected. Similarly, in radio CDMA, each
group of users is given a shared code. Many codes occupy the same
channel, but only users associated with a particular code can
communicate.
24 Chandra Prakash, LPU
Space division multiple access
FDMA TDMA and CDMA transmits signal in all direction
(omnidirectional in nature )
SDMA uses directional transmitters/antennas to over angular
regions.
Different area/region can be served using the same frequency
channel.
Best suited to satellite systems.
Use spot beam antennas
The different beam area can use TDMA, FDMA, CDMA
Sectorized antenna can be thought of as a SDMA
Adaptive antennas can be used in the future (simultaneously steer
energy in the direction of many users)

Wireless Network Setup
There are two types of wireless network types.
Infrastructure
Ad Hoc
Infrastructure
Referred to as a hosted or managed wireless network.
Consists of one or more access points (know as gateways or wireless
routers) being connected to an existed network.

Chandra Prakash, LPU
Ad-Hoc Wireless Network
Also referred to as an unmanaged or peer to peer wireless
network
it consists of each device connecting directly to each other.

Wireless Ad-hoc Network
A wireless ad-hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless
network.
The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a pre-existing
infrastructure, such as routers in wired networks or access points in
managed (infrastructure) wireless networks. Instead,
each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes,
and so the determination of which nodes forward data is made
dynamically based on the network connectivity.
In addition to the classic routing, ad hoc networks can
use flooding for forwarding the data.
34 Chandra Prakash, LPU
Mobile Ad-hoc Network
Self-configuring network of mobile routers (and associated
hosts) connected by wireless links
This union forms a random topology
Routers move randomly free
Topology changes rapidly and unpredictably
Standalone fashion or connected to the larger Internet
While MANETs are self contained, they can also be tied to an
IP-based global or local network Hybrid MANETs
Suitable for emergency situations like natural or human-
induced disasters, military conflicts, emergency medical
situations, etc.
35 Chandra Prakash, LPU
Fundamental Concepts
Ad hoc networks are autonomous networks operating either in
isolation or as stub networks connecting to a fixed network
Do not necessarily rely on existing infrastructure
No access point
Each node serves as a router and forwards packets for other nodes in
the network
Topology of the network continuously changes

Ad hoc networks vs. Wireless mobile networks
Infrastructureless vs. Infrastructured Network
All devices of an ad hoc network are likely to have similar
constraints
Ad hoc networks vs. Peer-to-peer networks
P2P devices use existing networked structures such as Internet
All P2P networks are not ad hoc network
Because NOT all ad hoc network utilize an existing structure
for the communication among devices
39 Chandra Prakash, LPU
Ad hoc networks
Temporary network composed of mobile nodes without
preexisting communication infrastructure, such as Access
Point (AP) and Base Station (BS).
Each node plays the role of router for multi-hop routing.
Self-organizing network without infrastructure networks
Started from DARPA PRNet in 1970
Cooperative nodes (wireless)
Each node decode-and-forward packets for other nodes
Multi-hop packet forwarding through wireless links
