| WiFi (1)MAC-Layer Retransmission - If no ACK received “right away”, then the sender retransmits the frame again at the MAC layer
- indicates frame (or ACK) was lost/corrupted
- very short timeout (e.g., 1 msec)
- exponential backoff (doubling) if repeated loss
- Typically recovers before TCP would notice
- Max retransmission limit (e.g., 8)
- May do MAC-layer rate adaptation or frame fragmentation if channel error rate is high
- Point Coordination Function (PCF)
- Request-To-Send/Clear-To-Send (RTS/CTS)
- reservation-based approach (ask permission)
- useful for very large frames
- useful for solving the “hidden node” problem
- request asks for clearance (permission) to send
- request also indicates time required for transmit
Frame Formats - Two frame formats available:
- Configuration option for NIC and AP
- Variable-size frames (max 2312 data bytes)
- 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Code (CRC) for error checking of frames
Long Preamble = 144 bits
- Interoperable with older 802.11 devices
- Entire Preamble and 48 bit PLCP Header sent at 1 Mbps
