Sahr Archis Vijay Ghate Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Electrical Engineering University of Washington Abstract Spectrum Sharing in White Spaces Farzad Hessar Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Sumit Roy Electrical Engineering Demand for wireless Internet traffic has been increasing exponentially over the last decade, due to widespread usage of smart-phones along with new multimedia applications. The need for higher wireless network throughput has been pushing engineers to expand network capacities in order to keep pace with growing user demands. The improvement has been multi-dimensional, including optimizations in MAC/Physical layer for boosting spectral efficiency, expanding network infrastructure with reduced cell sizes, and utilizing additional RF spectrum. Nevertheless, traffic demand has been increasing at a much faster pace than network throughput and our current networks will not be able to handle customer needs in near future. While assigning additional spectrum for cellular communication has been a major ele- ment of network capacity increase, the natural scarcity of RF spectrum limits the extend of this solution. On the other hand, researchers have shown that licensed spectrum that is owned and held by a primary user is heavily underutilized. Examples are TV channels in the VHF/UHF band as well as radar spectrum in the SHF band. Hence, a more efficient use of this spectrum is to permit unlicensed users to coexist with the primary owner, i.e.

Ethernet is built upon the medium access method called CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection). The network aspects explain how a local area network is built today. We will see that the resulting network is very far away from the original design. LANs 3 Part A: Motivation for LANs o goal: connect computers in same site (building, small campus) o experience from host centric networks:bursty traffic o basic idea: share a cable, no complex software in the end systems o alternatives ? switch based LANs: connection oriented: ATM switch based LANs: connectionless. Switched Ethernet If you want to understand something in the world of local area networks, you should keep in mind the design requirements. Today, they are: •(1) interconnect many pieces of equipment without complex cabling, inside a limited geographical area, and inside one organization •(2a) be easy to manage, in particular, detect cable faults easily. When Ethernet was first conceived, the requirements were a little bit different. The second requirement was replaced by: •(2b) use one shared cable for the entire network.

  • UNIT-5 IEEE STANDARDS 1 IEEE Stands
    UNIT-5 IEEE STANDARDS IEEE stands for “Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers”. IEEE was founded in the year 1884. Project 802 is one of the famous projects regarding to IEEE. This project contains the features which are lead to the essential development in LAN and its usage. Project 802 sets high-level standards in components that are using in inter-communication between systems. Any manufacturer must follow the standards while preparing the components. IEEE also provides the support for OSI reference model and its supported layers. Especially for Data link layer and Physical layer. According OSI reference model data link layer and physical layer is performing the most of the responsibility in data transfer. Generally LAN is used for connecting limited group of systems in limited area. LAN can provide sharing of resources. LAN concept is also supporting WAN or internet. LAN is one of the mostly used technologies. LAN is having several technologies (versions): 1) Ethernet. 2) Token Ring. 3) Token Bus. 4) ATM LAN. IEEE provides supports for any type of LAN version and also working along with Data link and physical layer. Data Link Layer: The IEEE has subdivided the data link layer into two sub layers: 1) Logical Link Control (LLC). 2) Media Access Control (MAC). IEEE has also created several physical layer standards for different LAN protocols. 1 UNIT-5 IEEE STANDARDS We know that data link control handles framing, flow control, and error control. In IEEE Project 802, flow control, error control, and part of the framing duties are collected into one sub layer called the logical link control.

  • Enabling Channel Bonding in High-Density Wlans
    To Overlap or not to Overlap: Enabling Channel Bonding in High-Density WLANs Sergio Barrachina-Mu˜noz∗, Francesc Wilhelmi, Boris Bellalta Wireless Networking (WN), Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain Abstract Wireless local area networks (WLANs) are the most popular kind of wireless Internet connection because of their simplicity of deployment and operation. As a result, the number of devices accessing the Internet through WLANs such as laptops, smartphones, or wearables, is increasing drastically at the same time that applications’ throughput requirements do. To cope with these challenges, channel bonding (CB) techniques are used for enabling higher data rates by transmitting in wider channels, thus increasing spectrum efficiency. However, important issues like higher potential co-channel and adjacent channel interference arise when bonding channels. This may harm the performance of the carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol because of recurrent backoff freezing, while making nodes more sensitive to hidden node effects. In this paper, we address the following point at issue: is it convenient for high-density (HD) WLANs to use wider channels and potentially overlap in the spectrum? First, we highlight key aspects of DCB in toy scenarios through a continuous time Markov network (CTMN) model. Then, by means of extensive simulations covering a wide range of traffic loads and access point (AP) densities, we show that dynamic channel bonding (DCB) – which adapts the channel bandwidth on a per-packet transmission – significantly outperforms traditional single-channel on average. Nevertheless, results also corroborate that DCB is more prone to generate unfair situations where WLANs may starve. Contrary to most of the current thoughts pushing towards non-overlapping channels in HD deployments, we highlight the benefits of allocating channels as wider as possible to WLANs altogether with implementing adaptive access policies to cope with the unfairness situations that may appear.
