    Wireless LANs allow devices to connect to a network without wires by using radio waves to communicate. They provide mobility and reduce costs compared to wired networks by eliminating the need to lay cables. There are two main types of wireless networks: infrastructure networks with an access point that connects devices to a wired network, and ad-hoc networks without an access point where devices connect directly to each other. Wireless LAN standards like 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g define the architecture and transmission methods to enable connectivity over radio waves.

    The key takeaways are that WLAN provides wireless connectivity without wires using radio waves. The main types discussed are IEEE 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g. The architectures can be ad hoc or infrastructure based.

    The two basic system architectures of WLAN are ad hoc and infrastructure based networks.

    The advantages of WLAN are convenience, productivity, easy deployment, expandability and lower cost compared to wired networks.

    WHAT IS WIRELESS LAN

     A wireless LAN or WLAN is the linking of more devices


    without the use of wires.
     WLAN utilizes the modulation technology based on radio
    waves to communicate between devices in a limited network
    area.
     It gives users the mobility to move around within a broad
    coverage area & still be connected to the network.

    2
    WHY WIRELESS LAN
     Previously Ethernet LANs was used,which was very
    costly, messy & movement of those LANs was
    difficult.To reduce this problems related to Wired LANs
    the concept of Wireless LAN has evolved.

     This is very much cost effective,less messy &


    movement of this LANs are very easy because in this
    type of LANs, problems related to wires are removed.

    TYPES OF WLAN
    There are two types of WLAN:-
     IEEE 802.11
    - 802.11b
    - 802.11a
    - 802.11g
     Bluetooth

    4
    IEEE 802.11 WLAN(ARCHITECTURE)
    The standard defines two kinds of services
    i) Basic Service Set(BSS)
    ii) Extended Service Set(ESS)

    BSS:-
    Set of all stations that can communicate with each other.
    Access Point:-
    Base stations for the wireless network.

    5
    IEEE 802.11 WLAN(ARCHITECTURE)
    ESS:-
    Set of connected two or more BSS. It uses two types of stations:
    mobile and stationary.
    Distribution System:-
    Wired LAN through which BSSs are connected.

    Station:- All components that can connect into a wireless medium in a


    network.
    Three types of stations:
    No-transition,
    BSS-transition
    ESS-transition

    802.11 WIRELESS LAN

     Provides network connectivity over wireless media


     An Access Point(AP) is installed to act as the Bridge
    between Wireless and Wired network
     An AP is connected to wired network and is equipped with
    7
    antenna to provide wireless connectivity
    802.11 WIRELESS LAN

     Range depends on structural hindrances and RF gain of the


    antenna at the Access Point.
     To service larger areas, multiple APs may be installed with
    20-30% overlap
     A client is always associated with one AP and when the
    client moves closer to another AP, it associates with the
    new AP.

    8
    MAC SUBLAYER
    IEEE 802.11 defines two MAC sublayers:-
    i) Distributed Coordination Function(DCF)
    ii) Point Coordination Function(PCF)
    DCF:- One of the two protocols defined by IEEE at the MAC sublayer is
    called the distributed coordination function. Wireless LANs cannot
    implement CSMA/CD for three reasons:-
    1. For collision detection a station must be able to send data & receive
    collision signals at the same time. This can mean costly stations &
    increased bandwidth requirements.
    2. Collision may not be detected because of the hidden station problem.
    3. The distance between stations can be great. Signal fading could prevent a
    station at one end from hearing a collision at the other end.

    9
    MAC SUBLAYER
    PCF:-
    -The point coordination function is an optional access method
    that can be implemented in an infrastructure network.
    -PCF has a centralized,contention-free access method. The AP
    performs polling for stations that are capable of being polled.

    2.4-GHz band
     The modulation technique achieves a 22 Mbps or 54
    Mbps data rates on the 2.4-GHz band.

    13
    SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
     Two basic system architectures:-
    a) Ad hoc
    b) Infrastructure based

    14
    AD HOC WIRELESS LANS

    called as Ad hoc network.
     A group of stations using
    the same radio frequency.
    .

    15
    INFRASTRUCTURE BASED WIRELESS
    LANS

    Point is called an
    Infrastructure based
    network.
