Review, Wireless LAN Protocol
 LAN protocol consists of 3 layers
 LLC = Logical Link Control layer
 MAC = Medium Access Control layer
 PHY = Physical layer, which is divided into two
sub layers:
– PLCP= Physical Layer Convergence
Protocol sub-layer
– PMD = Physical Medium Dependent sublayer

The role of PLCP is to free MAC layer from
the specifics of the physical layer.
MAC layer has error control to compensate
for RF environment.
MAC layer characterizes a wireless LAN

AP buffers packets to the sleeping nodes
AP send Traffic Delivery Information Message
(TDIM) that contains the list of nodes that will
receive data in that frame, how much data and
when.
The node is awake only when it is sending
data, receiving data or listening to TDIM.

Review, Access Point Functions
Access point has three components
—Wireless LAN interface to communicate with
nodes in its service area
—Wireline interface card to connect to the
backbone network
—MAC layer bridge to filter traffic between
sub-networks. This function is essential to
use the radio links efficiently

Review, Bridge Functions
Speed conversion between different devices,
results in buffering.
Frame format adaptation between different
incompatible LANs
Adding or deleting fields in the frame to convert
between different LAN standards

Review, WLAN Addressing
In wireline LAN, each node has an IP
address that is associated with its physical
location
When a device can move from one location
to another, the association between the
physical location and IP address no longer
holds
The solution is presented in mobile IP

Review, Mobile IP Principals
Constraints of mobile IP are
—Mobility should be at network layer
—No impact on higher levels
—No impact on the nodes not directly involved
in the mobile IP function
—Uninterrupted operation for mobile devices

Review, Mobile IP Principals, Cont…
The principle is very simple, use c/o
addressing
For each mobile device, we associate a
Home IP address associated with a Home
Network.
The new LAN is called the Visiting Network
The software that takes care of mobility in
each server (router) is called agent.
EETS 8316/NTU TC 745, Fall 2003
SMU
ENGINEERING
#16
Review, Mobile IP Principals, Cont…
Two types of agents, Home Agent and
Visiting Agent.
Whenever the mobile device connects to a
new network, a c/o address is given to it by
the Visiting Agent.
This c/o address is reported to the Home
Agent.
All packets addressed to the mobile device
are addressed to its Home Address, and
thus sent to its Home Network.
EETS 8316/NTU TC 745, Fall 2003
SMU
ENGINEERING
#17
Review, Mobile IP Principals, Cont…
Upon reception of the packet, the Home
Agent recognized the address belonging to
a mobile device.
Home Agents looks up the c/o address in
its table.
The packet is then wrapped in a new packet
with the c/o address on it, called
encapsulation
C/o address causes the packet to be
forwarded to the Visiting Agent.
EETS 8316/NTU TC 745, Fall 2003

Review, Mobile IP Principals, Cont…
Visiting Agent recognizes the received
address as the c/o address, unwrap the
packet; called de-capsulation; and send it
to its intended receiver.
This activity is called tunneling, referring to
the idea creating a tunnel between the
Home Network and Visiting Network and
sending all data to that mobile device on
that tunnel.
Several tunnels can be created between two
networks

Review, Mobility Management in WLAN
Mobile IP principles are used to take care of
mobility in the wireless LAN.
Every wireless device has an address in its
Home LAN, and gets a c/o address in the
Visiting LAN.

Review, Authentication
Three levels of authentication
—Open: AP does not challenge the identity of
the node.
—Password: upon association, the AP
demands a password from the node.
—Public Key: Each node has a public key.
Upon association, the AP sends an
encrypted message using the nodes public
key. The node needs to respond correctly
using it private key.

exchanging data between (mobile) devices
connected to the same LAN
—Acknowledged connectionless

broadcasting or multicasting.

Review, HIPERLAN Characteristics
HIPERLANs with same radio frequencies
might overlap
—Stations have unique node identifiers (NID)
—Stations belonging to same HIPERLAN
share a common HIPERLAN identifier (HID)
—Stations of different HIPERLANs using
same frequencies cause interference and
reduce data transmission capacity of each
HIPERLAN
—Packets with different HIDs are rejected to
avoid confusion of data

A Mobile Host registers with the foreign
agent. Send Home Address
Foreign agent forwards the registration
request to the Home Agent.
If the home agent accepts registration, then
it updates its table associating the home
address of the mobile with its c/o address.
It then informs the foreign agent that the
registration is accepted.

happens between home agent and the
mobile.

What if the visiting network does not have a
foreign agent? The registration happened
directly to the home agent, using the
address provided by the visiting network
and the C/O address. This means that the
mobile software should be capable of some
foreign agent functionality

Mobile IP Home Agent Options
Home network could be a virtual network
with home agent in the router, a real
network with the home agent in the router
or it can also be a real network with a home
agent as a server connected to the home
network.

Mobile IP Mobility Management
When moving from one network to another,
a new registration process occurs.
Home agent uses the new C/O address to
forward the packets to the mobile terminal
Packets sent to the old foreign agent has to
be re-transmitted to the new address.
If the mobile moves fast, handling of
mobility becomes difficult.
