    IEEE Standards Organization

    • IEEE has two types of standards groups


    • Individual method or Entity method
    • IEEE 802’s projects use the Individual method
    • Voter’s are individuals, not entities (e.g. companies)

    Some terms
    • PAR – project authorization request – the document that authorizes work on a
    project.
    • WG - Working group – responsible for developing standards in an area
    • TAG – Technical Advisory Group – experts on a topic area that crosses working
    groups.
    • Task group or task force – a part of a working group which focuses on a particular
    project.
    • CFI – Call for interest – a brief meeting to outline a topic and determine if there is
    interest in investigating possible project
    • Study Group – a group formed to investigate a project and produce a PAR
    • Criteria for Standards Development (CSD) – In IEEE 802 the basis for determining
    whether to forward a PAR.
    • Five Criteria – a subset of the CSD
    IEEE Standards

    • 802.1 Bridging and Architecture – generally the top of the link layer
    • 802.3 Ethernet
    • 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN)

    IEEE 802.11 standard
    • As the standards number indicates, this standard belongs to the
    group of 802.x LAN standards.
    • This means that the standard specifies the physical and medium
    access layer adapted to the special requirements of wireless LANs,
    but offers the same interface as the others to higher layers to
    maintain interoperability.
    • The primary goal of the standard was the specification of a simple
    and robust WLAN which offers time-bounded and asynchronous
    services.
    IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN
    • 802.11b • 802.11g
    • 2.4-5 GHz unlicensed spectrum • 2.4-5 GHz range
    • up to 11 Mbps • up to 54 Mbps
    • direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) in • Benefits from the better propagation
    physical layer characteristics at 2.4 GHz compared to 5 GHz
    • all hosts use same chipping code • Backward compatible to 802.11b
    • 802.11a • 802.11n: multiple antennae
    • 5-6 GHz range • 2.4-5 GHz range
    • up to 54 Mbps • typically 200++ Mbps
    • Shading is much more severe compared • IEEE 802.11e
    to 2.4 GHz
    • MAC enhancements for providing some QoS
    • Depending on the SNR, propagation
    conditions and distance between sender • Some QoS guarantees can be given only via polling
    and receiver, data rates may drop fast using PCF
