Ok Jack, I have to admit, I have not read your book, but if it reads like this discussion, I have no desire too, unless you 1. either state that your book is for the advanced wireless subjects, or 2. Thoroughly describe your acronyms. FYI, I do understand most of the poster's acronyms, but for the average WISP operator, I doubt they do. I have a BS in Electrical Engineering and a BS in Management of Information Sciences, not to be tooting my own horn. No, I do not work for Alvarion or Motorola, nor do I have a desire too.

I've always thought that B was more stable overall but just provided less bandwidth. I've gotten some info that may counter that.

Given, and considering OFDM modulation vice CCK, there are a couple things to note. With G, and the faster data rates, client transactions are over faster and tend to give the AP back sooner, especially if the operator elects to transmit the PLCP header with a short (56 bit) preamble. This is true for at least 90% of the traffic on my network which is very bursty activity. Get 'em out of the way faster! Additionally, OFDM survives in a multi-path environment much better. In my environment, water towers, barns, machine sheds, silos all seem to reflect the signal around. Having said all that we didn't use 802.11b at all because it's data rates are too low for video. There are some links which, because of a lower signal to noise, where B just works much better. But, while they are on are using the resources of the sector much longer than their G counterparts. Also while we supported 2.4 GHz, we mostly deployed at 5.8 GHz ISM because of the increased power available there and the pollution was much less, but that maybe different now. In my environment neither is saturated. 2.4 works better because of the variability in terrain. Signals arriving over corn fields also work better than signals arriving over bean fields. :-) There is no substitute for link margin, you can never really have enough. I like to do installs this time of year. Foliage is at maximum growth for the year. Crops are mature and waving in the breeze. The leaves are drying but still on the trees. Rain water collects in those trees. If it works now, and I have sufficient fade margin, it will only get better this winter as the leaves drop. Tne of the down sides of fitting a 5 or 10 MHz channel in a sweet spot is that it can change at any time. This is true of any public frequency, but the effects on a half or quarter channel are less pronounced, and the fractional channels give an immediate boost in the SI over a 20 MHz channel size.

Re: [WISPA] To G or not to G :-)
(below is from http://en.allexperts.com/e/i/ie/ieee_802.11e.htm) HCCA: The HCCA works a lot like the PCF: the interval between two beacon frames is divided into two periods, the CFP and the CP. During the CFP, the Hybrid Coordinator (HC) controls the access to the medium. During the CP, all stations function in EDCA. The main difference with the PCF is that Traffic Classes (TC) are defined. Also, the HC can coordinate the traffic in any fashion it chooses (not just round-robin). Moreover, the stations give info about the lengths of their queues for each Traffic Class (TC). The HC can use this info to give priority to one station over another. Another difference is that stations are given a TXOP: they may send multiple packets in a row, for a given time period selected by the HC. During the CP, the HC allows stations to send data by sending CF-Poll frames. --- PCF: The original 802.11 MAC defines another coordination function called the Point Coordination Function (PCF): this is available only in infrastructure mode, where stations are connected to the network through an Access Point (AP). This mode is optional, and only very few APs or Wi-Fi adapters actually implement it. APs send beacon frames at regular intervals (usually every 0.1 second). Between these beacon frames, PCF defines two periods: the Contention Free Period (CFP) and the Contention Period (CP). In CP, the DCF is simply used. In CFP, the AP sends Contention Free-Poll (CF-Poll) packets to each station, one at a time, to give them the right to send a packet. The AP is the coordinator. This allows for a better management of the QoS. Unfortunately, the PCF has limited support and a number of limitations (for example, it does not define classes of traffic). HCCA is generally considered the most advanced (and complex) coordination function. With the HCCA, QoS can be configured with great precision. QoS-enabled stations have the ability to request specific transmission parameters (data rate, jitter, etc.) which should allow advanced applications like VoIP and video streaming to work more effectively on a Wi-Fi network. HCCA support is not mandatory for 802.11e APs. In fact, few (if any) APs currently available are enabled for HCCA. The Wi-Fi Alliance has a forthcoming certification (WMM Scheduled Access) that will allow network integrators to easily distinguish APs that allow HCCA. --- (below is just from my limited knowlege) PA: Power Amplifier --- (below is from http://www.wirelessdictionary.com/wireless_dictionary_UMTS_LTE_PAPR_Definition.html ) PAPR: Peak to Average Power Ratio; Peak to average power ratio is a comparison of the peak power detected over a period of sample time to the average power level that occurs over the same time period. SC-FDMA has a lower PAPR as compared to other radio channel structures such as OFDMA. --- (below is from http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1069514 and http://www.gigascale.org/pubs/1333.html ) EVM: In digital radio applications, error-vector-magnitude (EVM) is the primary specification which quantifies the performance of digital modulation implemented in silicon. In production testing of wireless systems, measurement of EVM (a critical spec that is directly related to bit error rate) incurs significant test time due to the large numbers of symbols that need to be transmitted for reasons of accuracy. In our approach, EVM is modeled as a function of the system static non-idealities (IQ mismatch, gain, IIP3 parameters) and dynamic non-idealities (system noise, VCO phase noise). Using a selected subset of the OFDM tones, the static parameters are calculated first. These are then used to facilitate noise estimation using a back-end constellation compensation and noise amplification procedure. --- NOW! with that out of the way, let's all put our guns, arrows, cannons, swords, phallic members and the great and powerful REPLY-ALL keys (http://www.kirikiri.com/that/reply.gif) away and THANK the non- member/non-usual poster for his time and information!

You would be surprised by the number of entities that know they are way over the FCC max power in 2.4 GHz, but I digress. We once measured over 300 PHY errors a second on an unused 2.4 GHz channel. The number went down to 150 PHY errors a second inside an FCC chamber, if you can believe that. Having said all that we didn't use 802.11b at all because it's data rates are too low for video. Also while we supported 2.4 GHz, we mostly deployed at 5.8 GHz ISM because of the increased power available there and the

Re: [WISPA] To G or not to G :-)
Scottie, I read the whole thread and I don't see any remarks by Jack Unger that should be taken personally. He made a very fair and honest observation. I only wish I knew more about wireless. I have read Jack's book and recommend it as well, but I think I should read it a few more times and pick up some other scientific journals to also enhance my knowledge of the subject. I also didn't see anything wrong with your post in reply to Lawrence. Acronyms are used often in present times and I often have to look up the acronym to see what the author is referring to. Usually in a few keystrokes I can find the answer, which is a credit to the Internet industry. This is a forum of intelligent people and it often challenges our diligence to enhance our intelligence even more. I do not believe Jack's post was a direct comment towards Scottie Arnett. I have known Jack for many years and am always very impressed with the amount of dedication and time he devotes to our industry. I can only hope that you will someday advance beyond trying to read extra content into other's posts and understand that most people don't know who Scottie Arnett is or what contributions you have made to the industry. I'm sure you have great respect for your accomplishments in your local marketplace and I applaud you for that. However, WISPA is bigger than any one small marketplace. WISPA is the sum of lots of small marketplaces and operators who realize the strength of cooperating and collaborating with others who have similar interests and challenges.

Re: [WISPA] To G or not to G :-)
I have been on this list since 2001. I have seen many toot their own horns whenever they can and I have seen others that dont. I have also seen many get their feathers ruffled way too easy. Either way, there are some that can talk the talk, some that walk the walk, some that talk the walk, and some that walk the talk. As they say, just because you can do something doesnt mean you should. Most of the talkers have left the list with their undies in a bind. I suggest that before sending out an email, try to rein your ego in a bit and the list will be better for it. After all isnt this list to help others, or get help, not to be self-serving? This is not pointed at any one person, just my two cents on the subject. With that said, its been my experience in visiting many WISP's around the country that they are some of the sharpest people around.
