SOME OF THE IEEE802.X AND IEEE802.

11x (wireless)
802 Overview Basics of physical and logical networking concepts.
"Grandaddy" of the 802 specifications. Provides
asynchronous networking using "carrier sense, multiple
802.3 Ethernet access with collision detect" (CSMA/CD) over coax,
twisted-pair copper, and fiber media. Current speeds
range from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps.
The original token-passing standard for twisted-pair,
shielded copper cables. Supports copper and fiber
802.5 Token Ring
cabling from 4 Mbps to 100 Mbps. Often called "IBM
Token-Ring."
Wireless LAN Media Access Control and Physical
Layer specification. 802.11a,b,g,etc. are amendments to
802.11 Wi-Fi the original 802.11 standard. Products that implement
802.11 standards must pass tests and are referred to as
"Wi-Fi certified."
• Specifies a PHY that operates in the 5 GHz U-
NII band in the US - initially 5.15-5.35 AND
5.725-5.85 - since expanded to additional
frequencies
802.11a • Uses Orthogonal Frequency-Division
Multiplexing
• Enhanced data speed to 54 Mbps
• Ratified after 802.11b

• Enhancement to 802.11 that added higher data


rate modes to the DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum) already defined in the original 802.11
standard
• Boosted data speed to 11 Mbps
802.11b • 22 MHz Bandwidth yields 3 non-overlaping
channels in the frequency range of 2.400 GHz to
2.4835 GHz
• Beacons at 1 Mbps, falls back to 5.5, 2, or 1
Mbps from 11 Mbps max.

• Enhancement to 802.11a and 802.11b that allows


for global roaming
802.11d • Particulars can be set at Media Access Control
(MAC) layer

1
• Enhancement to 802.11 that includes quality of
service (QoS) features
802.11e • Facilitates prioritization of data, voice, and video
transmissions

• Extends the maximum data rate of WLAN


devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz band, in a
fashion that permits interoperation with 802.11b
devices
802.11g • Uses OFDM Modulation (Orthogonal FDM)
• Operates at up to 54 megabits per second
(Mbps), with fall-back speeds that include the
"b" speeds

• Enhancement to 802.11 that offers additional


security for WLAN applications
• Defines more robust encryption, authentication,
802.11i
and key exchange, as well as options for key
caching and pre-authentication

• Higher-speed standards -- under development


• Several competing and non-compatible
technologies; often called "pre-n"
• Top speeds claimed of 108, 240, and 350+ MHz
802.11n • Competing proposals come from the groups,
EWC, TGn Sync, and WWiSE and are all
variations based on MIMO (multiple input,
multiple output)

Wireless Communications specification that was approved in


802.15 Personal Area early 2002 by the IEEE for wireless personal area
Networks networks (WPANs).
Short range (10m) wireless technology for cordless
802.15.1 Bluetooth
mouse, keyboard, and hands-free headset at 2.4 GHz.
This family of standards covers Fixed and Mobile
Broadband Wireless Access methods used to create
Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMANs.)
Wireless
Connects Base Stations to the Internet using OFDM in
802.16 Metropolitan
unlicensed (900 MHz, 2.4, 5.8 GHz) or licensed (700
Area Networks
MHz, 2.5 – 3.6 GHz) frequency bands. Products that
implement 802.16 standards can undergo WiMAX
certification testing.
