10 4.1 Characteristics and Design Goals Andreas Könsgen Summer Term 2012

11 Characteristics of wireless LANs Advantages very flexible within the reception area ad-hoc networks without previous planning possible (almost) no wiring difficulties (e.g. historic buildings, firewalls) more robust against disasters like, e.g., earthquakes, fire - or users pulling a plug... Disadvantages typically lower data rate compared to wired networks (600 Mbit/s vs. 10 Gbit/s), higher error rates (10-4 instead of ) many proprietary solutions, especially for higher bit-rates, standards take time (e.g n) products have to follow many national restrictions if working wireless, it takes a very long time to establish global solutions like, e.g., IMT-2000 heavy interference on ISM band, no service guarantees

12 Design goals for wireless LANs global, seamless operation low power for battery use no special permissions or licenses needed to use the WLAN robust transmission technology simplified spontaneous cooperation at meetings easy to use for everyone, simple management protection of investment in wired networks security (no one should be able to read my data), privacy (no one should be able to collect user profiles), safety (low radiation) transparency concerning applications and higher layer protocols, but also location awareness if necessary
