Link Layer IntroductionSome terminologybull Hosts and routers are nodesbull Communication channels

that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are linksndash Wired linksndash Wireless linksndash LANs

bull Layer-2 packet is a frame encapsulates datagram

data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over link

Link Layer Context

bull Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different linksndash eg Ethernet on first

link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link

bull Each link protocol provides different servicesndash eg may or may not

provide rdt over link

Transportation analogybull Trip from Princeton to

Lausannendash limo Princeton to JFKndash plane JFK to Genevandash train Geneva to

Lausanne

Link Layer Servicesbull Framing link access

ndash Encapsulate datagram into frame adding header trailer

ndash Channel access if shared mediumndash Medium Access Control (MAC) addresses used

in frame headers to identify source and dest bull Different from IP address

bull Reliable delivery between adjacent nodesndash We learned how to do this already (in ch3)ndash Seldom used on low bit-error link (fiber some

twisted pair)ndash Used for wireless links with high error rates

Link Layer Services (more)

bull Flow controlndash Pacing between adjacent sending and receiving

nodes

bull Error detectionndash Errors caused by signal attenuation noisendash Receiver detects presence of errors

bull Signals sender for retransmission or drops frame

bull Error correctionndash Receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without

resorting to retransmission

bull Half-duplex and full-duplexndash With half duplex nodes at both ends of link can

transmit but not at same time

Where is Link Layer Implemented

Internet Checksum (review)

Senderbull Treat segment contents

as sequence of 16-bit integers

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiverbull Compute checksum of

received segmentbull Check if computed

checksum equals checksum field valuendash NO - error detectedndash YES - no error detected

But maybe errors nonetheless

Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted packet

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

CRC Example ndash Choosing RWant

D2r XOR R = nGEquivalently

D2r = nG XOR R Equivalently If we divide D2r by

G want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D2r

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquobull point-to-point (not shared)

ndash PPP for dial-up accessndash point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

utilize channelndash High load collision overhead

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Link Layer IntroductionSome terminologybull Hosts and routers are nodesbull Communication channels

that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are linksndash Wired linksndash Wireless linksndash LANs

bull Layer-2 packet is a frame encapsulates datagram

data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over link

Link Layer Context

bull Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different linksndash eg Ethernet on first

link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link

bull Each link protocol provides different servicesndash eg may or may not

provide rdt over link

Transportation analogybull Trip from Princeton to

Lausannendash limo Princeton to JFKndash plane JFK to Genevandash train Geneva to

Lausanne

bull Tourist = datagrambull Transport hop =

communication linkbull Transportation mode =

link layer protocolbull Travel agent = routing

algorithm

Link Layer Servicesbull Framing link access

ndash Encapsulate datagram into frame adding header trailer

ndash Channel access if shared mediumndash Medium Access Control (MAC) addresses used

in frame headers to identify source and dest bull Different from IP address

bull Reliable delivery between adjacent nodesndash We learned how to do this already (in ch3)ndash Seldom used on low bit-error link (fiber some

twisted pair)ndash Used for wireless links with high error rates

Link Layer Services (more)

bull Flow controlndash Pacing between adjacent sending and receiving

nodes

bull Error detectionndash Errors caused by signal attenuation noisendash Receiver detects presence of errors

bull Signals sender for retransmission or drops frame

bull Error correctionndash Receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without

resorting to retransmission

bull Half-duplex and full-duplexndash With half duplex nodes at both ends of link can

transmit but not at same time

Where is Link Layer Implemented

bull In each and every hostbull Link layer implemented

Error DetectionEDC= Error Detection and Correction bits (redundancy)D = Data protected by error checking may include header fields

bull Error detection not 100 reliable― Protocol may miss some errors but rarely― Larger EDC field yields better detection and correction

Internet Checksum (review)

Senderbull Treat segment contents

as sequence of 16-bit integers

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiverbull Compute checksum of

received segmentbull Check if computed

checksum equals checksum field valuendash NO - error detectedndash YES - no error detected

But maybe errors nonetheless

Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted packet

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

CRC Example ndash Choosing RWant

D2r XOR R = nGEquivalently

D2r = nG XOR R Equivalently If we divide D2r by

G want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D2r

G

CRC Standards

bull Defined for 8 12 16 and 32 bit genrators (G)

bull CRC-32 adopted by many IEEE link-layer protocols uses generatorndash Gcrc-32 =

100000100110000010001110110110111bull Detects all errors burst less than 33 bitsbull Detects all odd number bit errorsbull Burst errors greater than 33 bits with

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquobull point-to-point (not shared)

ndash PPP for dial-up accessndash point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

bull broadcast (shared wire or medium)ndash old-fashioned Ethernetndash upstream HFCndash 80211 wireless LAN

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

shared RF(satellite)

humans at acocktail party

(shared air acoustical)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

6-slotframe

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

utilize channelndash High load collision overhead

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Link Layer IntroductionSome terminologybull Hosts and routers are nodesbull Communication channels

that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are linksndash Wired linksndash Wireless linksndash LANs

bull Layer-2 packet is a frame encapsulates datagram

data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over link

Link Layer Context

bull Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different linksndash eg Ethernet on first

link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link

bull Each link protocol provides different servicesndash eg may or may not

provide rdt over link

Transportation analogybull Trip from Princeton to

Lausannendash limo Princeton to JFKndash plane JFK to Genevandash train Geneva to

algorithm

Link Layer Servicesbull Framing link access

ndash Encapsulate datagram into frame adding header trailer

ndash Channel access if shared mediumndash Medium Access Control (MAC) addresses used

in frame headers to identify source and dest bull Different from IP address

bull Reliable delivery between adjacent nodesndash We learned how to do this already (in ch3)ndash Seldom used on low bit-error link (fiber some

twisted pair)ndash Used for wireless links with high error rates

Link Layer Services (more)

bull Flow controlndash Pacing between adjacent sending and receiving

nodes

bull Error detectionndash Errors caused by signal attenuation noisendash Receiver detects presence of errors

bull Signals sender for retransmission or drops frame

bull Error correctionndash Receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without

resorting to retransmission

bull Half-duplex and full-duplexndash With half duplex nodes at both ends of link can

transmit but not at same time

Where is Link Layer Implemented

bull In each and every hostbull Link layer implemented

Internet Checksum (review)

Senderbull Treat segment contents

as sequence of 16-bit integers

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiverbull Compute checksum of

received segmentbull Check if computed

checksum equals checksum field valuendash NO - error detectedndash YES - no error detected

But maybe errors nonetheless

Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted packet

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

CRC Example ndash Choosing RWant

D2r XOR R = nGEquivalently

D2r = nG XOR R Equivalently If we divide D2r by

G want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D2r

G

CRC Standards

bull Defined for 8 12 16 and 32 bit genrators (G)

bull CRC-32 adopted by many IEEE link-layer protocols uses generatorndash Gcrc-32 =

100000100110000010001110110110111bull Detects all errors burst less than 33 bitsbull Detects all odd number bit errorsbull Burst errors greater than 33 bits with

probability 1-05r

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquobull point-to-point (not shared)

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

shared RF(satellite)

(shared air acoustical)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Ethernet

Dominant wired LAN technology bull Cheap ($20) for NICbull First widely used LAN technologybull Simpler cheaper than token LANs and ATMbull Kept up with speed race 10 Mbps ndash 10 Gbps

Metcalfersquos Ethernetsketch

Topology (Bus and Star)bull Bus topology popular through mid 90s

ndash All nodes in same collision domain (can collide with each other)

bull Today star topology prevailsndash Active switch in center (contrast with hub)ndash Each ldquospokerdquo runs a (separate) Ethernet protocol

(nodes do not collide with each other)

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

bull After ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

CSMACD Efficiency

bull Tprop = max prop delay between 2 nodes in LAN

bull ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame

bull Efficiency goes to 1 ndash as tprop goes to 0

ndash as ttrans goes to infinity

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Link Layer IntroductionSome terminologybull Hosts and routers are nodesbull Communication channels

that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are linksndash Wired linksndash Wireless linksndash LANs

bull Layer-2 packet is a frame encapsulates datagram

data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over link

Link Layer Context

bull Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different linksndash eg Ethernet on first

link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link

bull Each link protocol provides different servicesndash eg may or may not

provide rdt over link

Transportation analogybull Trip from Princeton to

Lausannendash limo Princeton to JFKndash plane JFK to Genevandash train Geneva to

Lausanne

bull Tourist = datagrambull Transport hop =

communication linkbull Transportation mode =

link layer protocolbull Travel agent = routing

algorithm

Link Layer Servicesbull Framing link access

ndash Encapsulate datagram into frame adding header trailer

ndash Channel access if shared mediumndash Medium Access Control (MAC) addresses used

in frame headers to identify source and dest bull Different from IP address

bull Reliable delivery between adjacent nodesndash We learned how to do this already (in ch3)ndash Seldom used on low bit-error link (fiber some

twisted pair)ndash Used for wireless links with high error rates

Link Layer Services (more)

bull Flow controlndash Pacing between adjacent sending and receiving

nodes

bull Error detectionndash Errors caused by signal attenuation noisendash Receiver detects presence of errors

bull Signals sender for retransmission or drops frame

bull Error correctionndash Receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without

resorting to retransmission

bull Half-duplex and full-duplexndash With half duplex nodes at both ends of link can

transmit but not at same time

Where is Link Layer Implemented

bull In each and every hostbull Link layer implemented

Internet Checksum (review)

Senderbull Treat segment contents

as sequence of 16-bit integers

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiverbull Compute checksum of

received segmentbull Check if computed

checksum equals checksum field valuendash NO - error detectedndash YES - no error detected

But maybe errors nonetheless

Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted packet

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

CRC Example ndash Choosing RWant

D2r XOR R = nGEquivalently

D2r = nG XOR R Equivalently If we divide D2r by

G want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D2r

(shared air acoustical)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

Link Layer Servicesbull Framing link access

ndash Encapsulate datagram into frame adding header trailer

ndash Channel access if shared mediumndash Medium Access Control (MAC) addresses used

in frame headers to identify source and dest bull Different from IP address

bull Reliable delivery between adjacent nodesndash We learned how to do this already (in ch3)ndash Seldom used on low bit-error link (fiber some

twisted pair)ndash Used for wireless links with high error rates

Link Layer Services (more)

bull Flow controlndash Pacing between adjacent sending and receiving

nodes

bull Error detectionndash Errors caused by signal attenuation noisendash Receiver detects presence of errors

Internet Checksum (review)

Senderbull Treat segment contents

as sequence of 16-bit integers

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiverbull Compute checksum of

received segmentbull Check if computed

checksum equals checksum field valuendash NO - error detectedndash YES - no error detected

But maybe errors nonetheless

Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted packet

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

CRC Example ndash Choosing RWant

D2r = nG XOR R Equivalently If we divide D2r by

G want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D2r

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

utilize channelndash High load collision overhead

ldquoTaking turnsrdquo protocolsndash Look for best of both worlds

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiverbull Compute checksum of

checksum equals checksum field valuendash NO - error detectedndash YES - no error detected

But maybe errors nonetheless

Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted packet

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Internet Checksum (review)

Senderbull Treat segment contents

as sequence of 16-bit integers

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiverbull Compute checksum of

received segmentbull Check if computed

checksum equals checksum field valuendash NO - error detectedndash YES - no error detected

But maybe errors nonetheless

Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted packet

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

CRC Example ndash Choosing RWant

D2r XOR R = nGEquivalently

D2r = nG XOR R Equivalently If we divide D2r by

G want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D2r

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquobull point-to-point (not shared)

ndash PPP for dial-up accessndash point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

bull broadcast (shared wire or medium)ndash old-fashioned Ethernetndash upstream HFCndash 80211 wireless LAN

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

shared RF(satellite)

(shared air acoustical)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

6-slotframe

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA

frequency bands 256 idle fr

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

utilize channelndash High load collision overhead

ldquoTaking turnsrdquo protocolsndash Look for best of both worlds

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolsPolling bull Master node

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Internet Checksum (review)

Senderbull Treat segment contents

as sequence of 16-bit integers

bull Checksum addition (1rsquos complement sum) of segment contents

bull Sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiverbull Compute checksum of

received segmentbull Check if computed

checksum equals checksum field valuendash NO - error detectedndash YES - no error detected

But maybe errors nonetheless

Goal detect ldquoerrorsrdquo (eg flipped bits) in transmitted packet

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

CRC Example ndash Choosing RWant

D2r XOR R = nGEquivalently

D2r = nG XOR R Equivalently If we divide D2r by

G want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D2r

G

CRC Standards

bull Defined for 8 12 16 and 32 bit genrators (G)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

utilize channelndash High load collision overhead

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Checksumming Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

bull View data bits D as a binary numberbull Choose r+1 bit pattern (generator) G bull Goal choose r CRC bits R such that

ndash ltDRgt exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) ndash Receiver knows G divides ltDRgt by G

bull If non-zero remainder error detectedndash Can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

bull Widely used in practice (Ethernet 80211 WiFi)

CRC Example ndash Choosing RWant

D2r XOR R = nGEquivalently

D2r = nG XOR R Equivalently If we divide D2r by

G want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D2r

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

mobility dynamically adapt physical layer (modulation technique rate)

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquobull point-to-point (not shared)

ndash PPP for dial-up accessndash point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

bull broadcast (shared wire or medium)ndash old-fashioned Ethernetndash upstream HFCndash 80211 wireless LAN

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

shared RF(satellite)

humans at acocktail party

(shared air acoustical)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquobull point-to-point (not shared)

ndash PPP for dial-up accessndash point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

bull broadcast (shared wire or medium)ndash old-fashioned Ethernetndash upstream HFCndash 80211 wireless LAN

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

shared RF(satellite)

humans at acocktail party

(shared air acoustical)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquobull point-to-point (not shared)

ndash PPP for dial-up accessndash point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

shared RF(satellite)

humans at acocktail party

(shared air acoustical)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquobull point-to-point (not shared)

ndash PPP for dial-up accessndash point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

shared RF(satellite)

(shared air acoustical)

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

6-slotframe

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

ARP Protocol Same LAN

bull A wants to send datagram to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

bull A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address ndash dest MAC address =

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FFndash all machines on LAN

receive ARP query

bull B receives ARP packet replies to A with its (Bs) MAC addressndash frame sent to Arsquos MAC

address (unicast)

bull A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out) ndash soft state information that times out (goes away)

unless refreshedbull ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo

ndash nodes create their ARP tables without intervention from net administrator

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Multiple Access Protocols

bull Single shared broadcast channel bull Two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference ndash collision if node receives two or more signals at the same

time

Multiple access protocolbull Distributed algorithm determines how nodes share

channel (ie determine whenwho node can transmit)

bull Communication about channel sharing must use channel itself ndash no ldquoout-of-bandrdquo channel for coordination

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

6-slotframe

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols FDMA

frequency bands 256 idle fr

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

utilize channelndash High load collision overhead

ldquoTaking turnsrdquo protocolsndash Look for best of both worlds

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolsPolling bull Master node

bull 32-bit IP address ndash Network-layer addressndash Used to get datagram to destination IP subnet

bull MAC (or LAN or physical or Ethernet) address ndash Function get frame from one interface to

another physically-connected interface (same network)

ndash 48 bit MAC address (for most LANs)bull burned in NIC ROM also sometimes software

settable

LAN Addresses

Each adapter on LAN has unique LAN address

Broadcast address =FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can

send at average rate RM (no overhead)3 Fully decentralized

ndash No special node to coordinate transmissionsndash No synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

CSMACD (Collision Detection)

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocols

Channel partitioning MAC protocolsndash Share channel efficiently and fairly at high

loadndash Inefficient at low load delay in channel

access 1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node

Random access MAC protocolsndash Efficient at low load single node can fully

utilize channelndash High load collision overhead

ldquoTaking turnsrdquo protocolsndash Look for best of both worlds

ldquoTaking Turnsrdquo MAC protocolsPolling bull Master node

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

MAC Protocols a Taxonomy

Three broad classesbull Channel Partitioning

ndash Divide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency)

ndash Allocate piece to node for exclusive use

bull Random Accessndash Channel not divided allow collisionsndash ldquoRecoverrdquo from collisions

bull Taking turnsndash Nodes take turns but nodes with more to send can

perhaps take longer turns

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple access bull Access to channel in rounds bull Each station gets fixed length slot (length =

pkt trans time) in each round bull Unused slots go idle bull Example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots

256 idle

1 3 4 1 3 4

frequency bands 256 idle fr

FDM cable

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Random Access Protocolsbull When node has packet to send

ndash Transmit at full channel data rate Rndash No a priori coordination among nodes

bull Two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquobull Random access MAC protocol specifies

ndash How to detect collisionsndash How to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions)

bull Examples of random access MAC protocolsndash slotted ALOHAndash ALOHAndash CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsbull All frames same sizebull Time divided into

equal size slots (time to transmit 1 frame)

bull Nodes start to transmit only slot beginning

bull Nodes are synchronized

bull If 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationbull When node obtains

fresh frame transmits in next slotndash If no collision node can

send new frame in next slot

ndash If collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

Slotted ALOHA

Prosbull Single active node

can continuously transmit at full rate of channel

bull Highly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in sync

bull Simple

Consbull Collisions wasting

slotsbull Idle slotsbull Nodes may be able to

detect collision in less than time to transmit packet

bull Clock synchronization

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

Slotted Aloha Efficiency

bull Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability p

bull Prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1

bull Prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

bull Max efficiency find prsquo that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

bull For many nodes take limit of Nprsquo(1-prsquo)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives

Max efficiency = 1e ~ 37

Efficiency long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes all with many frames to send)

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

bull Human analogy the polite conversationalist

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

bull After ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

CSMACD Efficiency

bull Tprop = max prop delay between 2 nodes in LAN

bull ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame

bull Efficiency goes to 1 ndash as tprop goes to 0

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Pure (Unslotted) ALOHA

bull Unslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationbull When frame first arrives

ndash Transmit immediately

bull Collision probability increasesndash Frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-

1t0+1]

Pure Aloha EfficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse than slotted Aloha

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitbull If channel sensed idle transmit entire framebull If channel sensed busy defer transmission

bull Human analogy someone else talking Donrsquot interrupt

CSMA Collisions

Collisions can still occurPropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CollisionEntire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes

NoteRole of distance amp propagation delay in determining collision probability

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in

CSMAndash Collisions detected within short timendash Colliding transmissions aborted reducing

channel wastage

bull Collision detection ndash Easy in wired LANs

bull Measure signal strengths compare transmitted received signals

ndash Difficult in wireless LANsbull Received signal strength overwhelmed by local

transmission strength

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

mobility dynamically adapt physical layer (modulation technique rate)

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

mobility dynamically adapt physical layer (modulation technique rate)

Ethernet Frame Structure

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet Frame Structure

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

bull After ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

CSMACD Efficiency

bull Tprop = max prop delay between 2 nodes in LAN

bull ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame

bull Efficiency goes to 1 ndash as tprop goes to 0

ndash as ttrans goes to infinity

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Dominant wired LAN technology bull Cheap ($20) for NICbull First widely used LAN technologybull Simpler cheaper than token LANs and ATMbull Kept up with speed race 10 Mbps ndash 10 Gbps

Metcalfersquos Ethernetsketch

Topology (Bus and Star)bull Bus topology popular through mid 90s

ndash All nodes in same collision domain (can collide with each other)

bull Today star topology prevailsndash Active switch in center (contrast with hub)ndash Each ldquospokerdquo runs a (separate) Ethernet protocol

(nodes do not collide with each other)

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

bull After ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

Seeinteract with Javaapplet on AWL Web sitehighly recommended

CSMACD Efficiency

bull Tprop = max prop delay between 2 nodes in LAN

bull ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame

bull Efficiency goes to 1 ndash as tprop goes to 0

ndash as ttrans goes to infinity

bull Better performance than ALOHA and simple cheap decentralized

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

bull After ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

CSMACD Efficiency

bull Tprop = max prop delay between 2 nodes in LAN

bull ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame

bull Efficiency goes to 1 ndash as tprop goes to 0

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

bull After ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

mobility dynamically adapt physical layer (modulation technique rate)

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

ARP Address Resolution Protocol

bull Each IP node (host router) on LAN has ARP table

bull ARP table IPMAC address mappings for some LAN nodes

IP address MAC address TTLndash TTL (Time To Live) time

after which address mapping will be forgotten (typically 20 min)

ARP Protocol Same LAN

bull A wants to send datagram to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

bull A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address ndash dest MAC address =

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FFndash all machines on LAN

receive ARP query

bull B receives ARP packet replies to A with its (Bs) MAC addressndash frame sent to Arsquos MAC

address (unicast)

bull A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out) ndash soft state information that times out (goes away)

unless refreshedbull ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo

ndash nodes create their ARP tables without intervention from net administrator

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

bull After ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

Seeinteract with Javaapplet on AWL Web sitehighly recommended

CSMACD Efficiency

bull Tprop = max prop delay between 2 nodes in LAN

bull ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame

bull Efficiency goes to 1 ndash as tprop goes to 0

ndash as ttrans goes to infinity

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

ARP Protocol Same LAN

bull A wants to send datagram to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

bull A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address ndash dest MAC address =

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FFndash all machines on LAN

receive ARP query

bull B receives ARP packet replies to A with its (Bs) MAC addressndash frame sent to Arsquos MAC

address (unicast)

bull A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out) ndash soft state information that times out (goes away)

unless refreshedbull ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo

ndash nodes create their ARP tables without intervention from net administrator

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble bull 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by

one byte with pattern 10101011bull Used to synchronize receiver sender clock

rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

bull Addresses 6 bytesndash If adapter receives frame with matching destination

address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol

ndash otherwise adapter discards frame

bull Type indicates higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others possible eg Novell IPX AppleTalk)

bull CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Ethernet Unreliable Connectionless

bull Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs

bull Unreliable receiving NIC doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending NICndash Stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have

gaps (missing datagrams)ndash Gaps will be filled if app is using TCPndash Otherwise app will see gaps

bull Ethernetrsquos MAC protocol unslotted CSMACD

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

bull After ten collisions choose K from 01234hellip1023

Seeinteract with Javaapplet on AWL Web sitehighly recommended

CSMACD Efficiency

bull Tprop = max prop delay between 2 nodes in LAN

bull ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame

bull Efficiency goes to 1 ndash as tprop goes to 0

ndash as ttrans goes to infinity

bull Better performance than ALOHA and simple cheap decentralized

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

3 If NIC transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission NIC is done with frame

4 If NIC detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

Ethernetrsquos CSMACD (more)Jam Signal make sure all

other transmitters are aware of collision 48 bits

Bit time 1 microsec for 10 Mbps Ethernet for K=1023 wait time is about 50 msec

Exponential Backoff bull Goal adapt retransmission

attempts to estimated current loadndash heavy load random

wait will be longerbull First collision choose K

from 01 delay is K 512 bit transmission times

bull After second collision choose K from 0123hellip

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

mobility dynamically adapt physical layer (modulation technique rate)

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellipndash decreased signal strength radio signal

attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

ndash interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

ndash multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

hellip make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more ldquodifficultrdquo

Wireless Link Characteristics (2)

bull SNR signal-to-noise rationdash larger SNR ndash easier to

extract signal from noise (a ldquogood thingrdquo)

bull SNR versus BER tradeoffsndash Given physical layer

increase power increase SNR decrease BER

ndash Given SNR choose physical layer that meets BER requirement giving highest thruputbull SNR may change with

mobility dynamically adapt physical layer (modulation technique rate)

IEEE 80211 MAC Protocol CSMACA

80211 sender1 if sense channel idle for DIFS then

transmit entire frame (no CD)2 if sense channel busy then

start random backoff timetimer counts down while channel idletransmit when timer expiresif no ACK increase random backoff

interval repeat 2

80211 receiver- if frame received OK return ACK after SIFS (ACK needed due

to hidden terminal problem)
