INTRODUCTION

Wireless is a term used to describe communications in which electromagnetic waves are used for communication purpose.

The first wireless transmitters went on

the air in the early 20th century using

radiotelegraphy (Morse code). Later, as modulation made it possible to

transmit voices and music via wireless.

LAN/WLAN World

Wireless LANs provide Flexibility PortabilityMobilityEase of Installation

Wireless LAN Wireless LAN

A wireless local area network (WLAN) links two or more devices using some wireless distribution method and usually providing a connection through an access point to the wider Internet. This gives users the ability to move around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network.

In response to lacking standards, IEEE developed the first internationally recognized wireless LAN standard – IEEE 802.11

IEEE published 802.11 in 1997, after seven years of work

Most prominent specification for WLANs

Scope of IEEE 802.11 is limited to Physical and Data Link Layers.

IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard

Access point (AP): A station that provides access to the DS.

Basic service set (BSS): A set of stations controlled by a single AP.

Distribution system (DS): A system used to interconnect a set of BSSs to create an ESS.

DS is implementation-independent. It can be a wired 802.3 Ethernet LAN, 802.4 token bus, 802.5 token ring or another 802.11 medium.

Extended service set (ESS):Two or more BSS interconnected by DS

Portal: Logical entity where 802.11 network integrates with a non 802.11 network.

IEEE 802.11 Terminology IEEE 802.11 Terminology

The IEEE 802.11 has two basic modes of operation: ad hoc mode and infrastructure mode. In ad hoc mode, mobile units transmit directly peer-to-peer. In infrastructure mode, mobile units communicate through an access point that serves as a bridge to other networks (such as Internet or LAN).

BluetoothBluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, building personal area networks (PANs).

Invented by telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994.

It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization.

Physical range up to 50 metres

Bluetooth (cont..)

Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).

The SIG oversees the development of the specification, manages the qualification program, and protects the trademarks.

To be marketed as a Bluetooth device, it must be qualified to standards defined by the SIG.A network of patents is required to implement the technology, which is licensed only for that qualifying device.

Bluetooth Implementation

Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum.

The transmitted data are divided into packets and each packet is transmitted on one of the 79 designated Bluetooth channels. Each channel has a bandwidth of 1 MHz.

Bluetooth connections

Bluetooth is a packet-based protocol with a master-slave structure. One master may communicate with up to seven slaves .

The master chooses which slave device to address; typically, it switches rapidly from one device to another in a round-robin fashion.

Bluetooth-UsesBluetooth is a standard wire-

replacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption.

Because the devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in visual line of sight of each other, however a quasi optical wireless path must be viable.

Bluetooth applications

Bluetooth mobile phone headset.Wireless control of and

communication between a mobile phone and a hands free headset.

Wireless control of and communication between a mobile phone and a Bluetooth compatible car stereo system.

Bluetooth applications(cont..)

Wireless control and communication with tablets and speakers such as I-Pad and Android devices.

Wireless networking between PCs in a confined space and where little bandwidth is required.

Wireless communication with PC input and output devices, the most common being the mouse, keyboard etc.

Bluetooth Devices

A Bluetooth USB dongle with a 100 m range.

Bluetooth exists in many products, such as telephones, tablets, media players, robotics systems, handheld and console gaming equipment, and some high definition headsets, modems, and watches.

Bluetooth Versions

All versions of the Bluetooth standards are designed for downward compatibility. That lets the latest standard cover all older versions.

Bluetooth v1.0 and v1.0B - had many problems, and manufacturers had difficulty making their products interoperable

Bluetooth Versions

also included mandatory Bluetooth hardware device address (BD_ADDR) transmission in the Connecting process (rendering anonymity impossible at the protocol level)

major setback for certain services planned for use in Bluetooth environments.

Bluetooth Versions

Bluetooth v1.1Many errors found in the 1.0B

specifications were fixed.Added possibility of non-encrypted

channels.Received Signal Strength Indicator

(RSSI).

Bluetooth VersionsBluetooth v1.2Faster Connection and Discovery• Adaptive frequency-hopping

spread spectrum (AFH), which improves resistance to radio frequency interference by avoiding the use of crowded frequencies in the hopping sequence.

• Higher transmission speeds in practice

Bluetooth Versions

Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) for

faster data transferBluetooth v2.1 + EDRThe headline feature of 2.1 is

secure simple pairing (SSP): this improves the pairing experience for Bluetooth devices, while increasing the use and strength of security

Bluetooth Versions

"Extended inquiry response" (EIR), which provides more information during the inquiry procedure to allow better filtering of devices before connection; and sniff subrating, which reduces the power consumption in low-power mode.

Bluetooth Versions

Bluetooth v3.0 + HSBluetooth 3.0+HS provides

theoretical data transfer speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s

Enhanced Power ControlThe main new feature is AMP

(Alternative MAC/PHY), the addition of 802.11 as a high speed transport for large quantities of data .

Bluetooth Versions

Bluetooth Smart (v4.0 & 4.1)adopted as of 30 June 2010. It

includes Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth high speed and Bluetooth low energy protocols. Bluetooth high speed is based on Wi-Fi, and Classic Bluetooth consists of legacy Bluetooth protocols.

Near field communicationNear field communication (NFC) is a

set of standards for devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches.

applications include contactless transactions, data exchange, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as Wi-Fi.

Near field communicationNFC is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a distance of 10 cm or less. NFC operates at 13.56 MHz. Data rates ranging from 106 kbit/s to 424 kbit/s.

. NFC always involves an initiator and a target; the initiator actively generates an RF field that can power a passive target. This enables NFC targets to take simple form factors such as tags, or cards that do not require batteries.

RuBeeRuBee (IEEE standard 1902.1) is a

two way, active wireless protocol designed for harsh environment, high security asset visibility applications. RuBee utilizes Long Wave (LW) magnetic signals to send and receive short (128 byte) data packets in a local regional network.

RuBee is slow (1,200 baud) compared to other packet based network data standards (WiFi).

RuBee

131 kHz as an operating frequency provides RuBee with the advantages of ultra low power consumption (battery life measured in many years), and normal operation near steel and/or water. These features make it easy to deploy sensors, controls, or even actuators and indicators.

RuBeeRuBee uses long wavelengths and

works in the near field (under 50 feet) it is possible to simultaneously transmit and receive from many adjacent antennas, without interference providing the signals are synchronized.

RuBee has no reflections and is not blocked by steel or liquids and therefore is not line-of-sight.

RuBee

RuBee is robust in harsh environment visibility and security applications. It also means RuBee has no eavesdropping risks in secure facilities. RuBee is the only wireless technology to ever be approved for use in secure facilities by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE).

Li-Fi Li-Fi refers to 5G visible light

communication systems using light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a medium to deliver networked, mobile, high-speed communication in a similar manner as Wi-Fi and Optical fibre. Li-Fi could lead to the Internet of Things, which is everything electronic being connected to the internet, with the LED lights on the electronics being used as internet access points.

Li-Fi The light waves cannot penetrate

walls which makes a much shorter range, though more secure from hacking. Direct line of sight isn't necessary for Li-Fi to transmit signal and light reflected of walls achieve 70 Mbps.

Li-Fi can be used in electromagnetic sensitive areas such as in aircraft cabins, hospitals and nuclear power plants without causing electromagnetic interference.

Transfer JetTransfer Jet is a new type of close

proximity wireless transfer technology by Sony and initially demonstrated 2008. By touching (or bringing very close together) two electronic devices.

Allows high speed exchange of data.Transmission Rate 560 Mbits (max) /

375 Mbits (effective throughput).Transfer jet maintain a robust link

even when the surrounding wireless condition fluctuates.

Poken Poken is a technology that utilizes NFC

technology to allow the exchange of online social networking data between two keychain accessories.

Poken are used for social networking, personal identification and as a device for loyalty programs.

Corporations such as BMW and IBM use poken at conferences to enhance interaction with conference attendees and to facilitate business networking.

1G

1G refers to the first-generation of wireless telephone technology, mobile telecommunications. These are the analog telecommunications standards that were introduced in the 1980s.

After 2G was launched, the previous mobile telephone systems were retrospectively dubbed 1G. While radio signals on 1G networks are analog

2G

2G is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991.

Three primary benefits of 2G networks:-

phone conversations were digitally encrypted.

2G2G systems were significantly more

efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration levels.

2G introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages, picture messages and MMS.

, radio signals on 2G networks are digital. Both systems use digital signaling to connect the radio towers

3G3G, is the third generation of mobile

telecommunications technology.3G finds application in wireless

voice telephony, mobile Internet access, fixed wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.

3G networks support services that provide an information transfer rate of at least 200 Kbits to several Mbits to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.

4G4G is the fourth generation of

mobile communication technology standards.

A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access.

Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing, 3D television, and cloud computing.

Flash TransferFlash transfer is an application

software used in mobiles and tablets.Two device with flash transfer can

transfer data of large size with great speed.

This application is available for devices using android O.S.

Single Image can be transferred by sliding and image folders and other documents can be transferred by shaking.

GPSThe Global Positioning System (GPS) a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. The system provides critical capabilities to military, civil and commercial users around the world. It is maintained by the U.S and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.

GPSThe GPS project was developed in

1973 .  GPS was created and realized by

the U.S. Department of Defence (DoD) and was originally run with 24 satellites.

It became fully operational in 1995.  Bradford Parkinson, Roger L.

Easton, and Ivan A. Getting are credited with inventing it.

GPS  The Russian Global Navigation

Satellite System (GLONASS) was developed contemporaneously with GPS, but suffered from incomplete coverage of the globe until the mid-2000s. 

There are also the planned European Union Galileo positioning system, India's Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System and Chinese Compass navigation system.
