Ominidirectional
An
omnidirectional
configuration
involves a single base station that is
within line of sight of all other stations
on the LAN.
This station is mounted on the ceiling
The base station acts as a multiport
repeater.
The ceiling transmitter broadcasts an
omnidirectional signal that can be single
base station within line of sight of all other
stations on LAN
Ominidirectional
Ceiling

broadcasts
signal received by IR transceivers
IR transceivers transmit with
directional beam aimed at ceiling

Ominidirectional
Diffused
All IR transmitters focused
and aimed at a point on
diffusely reflecting ceiling
IR radiation strikes ceiling
Reradiated omnidirectionally

Multiple-cell arrangement
Adjacent cells make use of different
center frequencies within the same band
to avoid interference.
Within a cell,
either peer-to-peer topology
or hub topology
Narrowband Microwave
LANs
Use of a microwave radio frequency
band for signal transmission
Relatively narrow bandwidth
Licensed Narrowband
Unlicensed Narrowband
Licensed Narrowband RF
Microwave radio frequencies usable for
voice, data, and video transmission are
licensed and coordinated within specific
geographic areas to avoid interference
between systems.
Each geographic area has a radius of 28
km and can contain five licenses, with
each license covering two frequencies.
Licensed Narrowband RF
A narrowband scheme typically makes
use of the Multiple cell configuration ,
Adjacent cells use non overlapping
frequency bands within the overall 18GHz band.
Independent
LANs
in
nearby
geographical locations do not interfere
with one another.
To provide security from eavesdropping,
all transmissions are encrypted.
Unlicensed Narrowband RF
RadioLAN introduced narrowband wireless LAN in
1995
Uses unlicensed ISM spectrum
Used at low power (0.5 watts or less)
Operates at 10 Mbps in the 5.8-GHz band
Range = 50 m to 100 m
