What is ISM Band?
Industrial, Scientific, Medical Band
Defined by ITU-T
License-Free Bands
900Mhz ISM band?
902-928 Mhz
Could interfere with GSM phones
Used by many consumer products, such as baby monitors and cordless home telephones
2.4 Ghz ISM Band
2.4 - 2.5 GHz
Most common Wi-Fi band
5.8 GHz ISM Band
5.725 - 5.875 GHz
150 MHz wide
UNII Bands

Defined as Lower, Middle, and Upper UNII bands
Each band is 100MHz wide with 4 channels
What does UNII stand for?
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure

IEEE Max Pow 800mW
Shares starting frequency with 5.8 Ghz ISM band
Typically outdoor point-to-point use
60Ghz Frequency?
Potential speeds up to 7Gbps
Ultrahigh frequencies will have difficult penetrating walls
WiGiG frequency?
WiGig certification to test interoperability of products that operate in the 60Ghz band
What is a Narrowband?
Narrowband uses very little bandwidth
Intentional jamming or unintentional interference will likely cause disruption in the signal
Typically transmitted using higher power
Typically requires a license to limit the risk of interference between transmitters
What is Spread Spectrum?
Uses more bandwidth than it is necessary
Less susceptible to intentional jamming or unintentional interference
Typically transmitted using lower power
Does not require a license
Main types of Spread Spectrum?
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
What does Multipath cause?
Inter-Symbol Interference
Fading in Signal
Delay between the main and reflected signals is known as?
Delay Spread
Multipath can be used as benefit for?
CDMA
MIMO
What is FHSS?
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
Transmits bursts of narrowband signal over a wide band
Transmitted signal effectively occupies a wide band
Used by bluetooth
FHSS process?
Transmits data on a narrow frequency
Hops to another narrow frequency and transmits more data
Continue process using a defined hopping sequence
3 FHSS Definitions?
Hopping Sequence
- Predefined hopping pattern or a set
Dwell Time
- Period of time that the transmitter stays on a channel and transmits data
Hop Time
- The time it takes for the transmitter to change from one frequency to another
What is DSSS?
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
Transmits signal across a frequency wide range
Uses chipping/spreading to convert data bits into a sequence
Defined in the original 802.11 standard
Difference between DSS and HR-DSSS?
DSSS provided 1 and 2Mbps
HR-DSSS added 5.5 and 11 Mbps
Simple Spread Spectrum: Transmitter?
Narrowband data signal spread by wideband chipping sequence
Simple Spread Spectrum: Receiver?
Wideband received signal despread with wideband chipping sequence
What is Processing gain?
Processing gain is the factor of spreading in frequency and
The factor of decrease in power
What is OFDM?
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
NOT a spread spectrum technology
Divides the whole bandwidth into subcarriers
- Transmits across 52 Subcarriers
- Each subcarrier is 312.5 KHZ wide
- 48 Subcarriers are used to transmit data
- Remaining 4 are known as pilot carriers
2.4 Ghz channels?
Divided into 14 channels by 802.11 - 2007 standard
Each channel is 22 Mhz
Distance between neighbor channels is 5MHz
Channels will not overlap if they are separated by 5 or more channels
Which channels do not overlap?
1, 6, 11
They need atleast 25Mhz separation between center frequencies
Throughput vs Bandwidth?
Data rates are also known as data bandwidth
Due to half-duplex nature of 802.11, actual throughput it typically 50% or less of the data rate.
54Mbps link will have about 20Mbps aggregate throughput.
Throughput is always lesser than bandwidth
Throughput?
Depends on:
- Frequency bandwidth
- Data encoding
- Modulation
- Medium contention
- Encryption
- Number of current users
- Many other factors
