Locating a WLAN
• Service Set Identifier (SSID):
– Unique, case sensitive, alphanumeric value from 2-32 characters long.
– Used as a network name.
– Sent in beacons, probe requests, probe responses and other types of frames.
• Beacons:
– To organize and synchronize wireless communications.
• From AP to station in infrastructure mode.
• From station to station in ad hoc mode.
– Provide functions including
• Time synchronization
• FH or DS parameters
• SSID information
• Traffic Indication Map
• Supported rates

• FHSS PMD hops over 78 channels of 1 MHz in the center of the 2.44 GHz ISM
bands.
• Modulation: Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK)
– 1Mbps – Two levels of GFSK
– 2Mbps – Four levels of GFSK
• Three patterns of 26 hops => Selection by PHY Management layer.
– 0, 3, 6, 9,……75
– 1, 4, 7, 10, …..76
– 2, 5, 8, 11, …..77
• Minimum hop rate 2.5 hops per second.
• Maximum transmitted power is 100mW.
