HIPERLAN
WLAN allowing for node mobility and supporting adhoc and infrastructure-based topologies.
supporting priorities
packet life time for data transfer at 23.5 Mbit/s,
including
forwarding mechanisms,
topology discovery,
user data encryption,
network identification and
power conservation mechanisms.
range - 50 m in buildings
transmit power -1 W
HIPERLAN 1 Characteristics
Data transmission
point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, connectionless
23.5 Mbit/s, 1 W power, 2383 byte max. packet size
Services
asynchronous and time-bounded services with hierarchical
priorities
compatible with ISO MAC
Topology
infrastructure or ad-hoc networks
transmission range can be larger then coverage of a single
node (forwarding integrated in mobile terminals)
Further mechanisms
power saving, encryption, checksums
Priorities
5 priority levels for QoS support
QoS is mapped onto a priority level with the help of the
packet lifetime (set by an application)
if packet lifetime = 0 it makes no sense to forward the packet
to the receiver any longer
standard start value 500ms, maximum 16000ms
if a terminal cannot send the packet due to its current priority,
waiting time is permanently subtracted from lifetime
based on packet lifetime, waiting time in a sender and number
of hops to the receiver, the packet is assigned to one out of
five priorities
the priority of waiting packets, therefore, rises automatically

Relays can extend the communication on the MAC layer

power conservation, a node may set up a specific wake-up
pattern.
determines at what time the node is ready to receive, so that
at other times, the node can turn off its receiver and save
energy. These nodes are called p-savers
p-supporters that contain information about the wake-up
patterns of all the p-savers they are responsible for.
A p-supporter only forwards data to a p-saver at the moment
the p-saver is awake. This action also requires buffering
mechanisms for packets on p-supporting forwarders.
HIPERLAN 1 - EY-NPMA I
EY-NPMA (Elimination Yield Non-preemptive Priority Multiple
Access)
3 phases: priority resolution, contention resolution, transmission

priority detection
synchronization
every priority corresponds to a time-slot to send in the first phase, the higher
the priority the earlier the time-slot to send
higher priorities can not be preempted
if an earlier time-slot for a higher priority remains empty, stations with the next
lower priority might send
after this first phase the highest current priority has been determined

II
Several terminals can now have the same priority and wish
to send
contention phase
Elimination Burst: all remaining terminals send a burst to eliminate
contenders (11111010100010011100000110010110, high bit- rate)
Elimination Survival Verification: contenders now sense the channel, if the
channel is free they can continue, otherwise they have been eliminated
Yield Listening: contenders again listen in slots with a nonzero probability,
if the terminal senses its slot idle it is free to transmit at the end of the
contention phase
the important part is now to set the parameters for burst duration and
channel sensing (slot-based, exponentially distributed)
data transmission
the winner can now send its data (however, a small chance of collision
remains)
if the channel was idle for a longer time (min. for a duration of 1700 bit) a
terminal can send at once without using EY-NPMA
