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.

Maybe I was in the wrong with my post about the poster's acronyms and my direct 
criticism with the use of acronyms. I also believe your post was in direct 
comment to me about my understanding and involvement of WISP activities. I 
publicly admit, I am not a member of WISPA at the moment, and as long as as an 
acting officer or supreme WISPA being is degrading me, I will not become a

pre wrap=I think you guys know most of this already, but here is my 
 take FWIW.

I'm not a WISP, but I spent 5 years leading the design and development of an 
802.11[agb] security system. We did our own polling solution based on 802.11e 
HCCA to solve the RTS/hidden node problem.

All things being equal (which they often aren't) 802.11b will give you a 
higher S/N and C/I than 802.11g, because in almost all cases and especially at 
higher speeds. 802.11g has to lower the PA power because of the PAPR of OFDM 
and meeting the 802.11g EVM spec.

It is true that 2.4 GHz can be very polluted. We found the noise floor to be 
really awful. 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 pollution was much less, but that 
maybe different now.

For 802.11[ag] mutlipoint, the sweet spot speed wise is 18-36 Mbps. It's very 
hard to keep a multipoint system at 48 or 54 Mbps because you need a great 
deal of link margin and with all cards you loose power as the speed increases 
to maintain PAPR/EVM. For point to point with direction antenna relief you can 
often maintain 48 or 54.

Antennae make a big difference, as others have noted horizontal polarization 
is usually best and make the beam as narrow as you can afford because it 
raises the effective gain. However, if you are in an area where everyone else 
is horizontal it can make sense to try vertical. With some of the antennae we 
used that was as simple as rotating the antenna 90 deg at both ends.

Watch out for crappy antennae, cheap cable, bad connectors, and so on. That 
can often cost you a few dB. In the product I designed I spent more time then 
I care to admit trying to make a very tough loss budget that I set out as a 
goal.

There is no substitute for link margin, you can never really have enough.

I can confirm that our sweeps with a spectrum analyzer show lots of 
opportunity to use 5 and 10 MHz channels, as others have also noted. For WISPs 
it would be nice if chip vendors designed the radios so that you could set 
the channel bandwidth from 5-40 MHz in 1 MHz increments. It can be done but 
probably won't be, although maybe the Microsoft WhiteFI stuff force the chip 
vendors to do it. In WiMax and LTE they are already doing some things close to 
this. Still 5, 10, and 20 isn't bad and probably hits the sweet spot or 80/20 
rule.

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.

I think there is room for ANY lively discussions on this list; 
administrative, technical or otherwise.  Long live wireless and free 
enterprise!

Re: [WISPA] To G or not to G :-)

2009-10-04 Thread Brian Webster
Title: Thank You,




Here is my opinion for what it is worth:

The post Lawrence put up was worth thousands of dollars that a WISP
would have to spend in both time and equipment to figure out the
lessons he's already learned. He posted his knowledge to the group for
FREE as additional input to the original question. For that we should
all be thankful.

If a person does not understand a particular topic or all of the
information contained in the message they can, one delete the message
and move on, two ask some follow up questions in a polite manor in
hopes that they can gain further understanding of the topic.

My father in law has a rule in his house and I try to stick to it in
life. The rule is (especially at his bar), if we don't have something
nice to say about a person, we won't say anything at all. It keeps the
negativity down. Everyone likes to hang out at his place (nice positive
environment). It's not that we always have to be in agreement with
everyone, but we just don't need to be doing things with a negative
attitude. There are plenty of ways to have the discussion in a more
constructive fashion.













Thank
You,
Brian Webster

2009-10-04 Thread D. Ryan Spott
(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.

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,

Here is my opinion for what it is worth:

The post Lawrence put up was worth thousands of dollars that a WISP would have 
to spend in both time and equipment to figure out the lessons he's already 
learned. He posted his knowledge to the group for FREE as additional input to 
the original question. For that we should all be thankful.

If a person does not understand a particular topic or all of the information 
contained in the message they can, one delete the message and move on, two ask 
some follow up questions in a polite manor in hopes that they can gain further 
understanding of the topic.

My father in law has a rule in his house and I try to stick to it in life. The 
rule is (especially at his bar), if we don't have something nice to say about a 
person, we won't say anything at all. It keeps the negativity down. Everyone 
likes to hang out at his place (nice positive environment). It's not that we 
always have to be in agreement with everyone, but we just don't need to be 
doing things with a negative attitude. There are plenty of ways to have the 
discussion in a more constructive fashion.

Thank You,
Brian  Webster

FWIW.



I'm not a WISP, but I spent 5 years leading the design and development of an 
802.11[agb] security system. We did our own polling solution based on 802.11e 
HCCA to solve the RTS/hidden node problem.



All things being equal (which they often aren't) 802.11b will give you a higher 
S/N and C/I than 802.11g, because in almost all cases and especially at higher 
speeds. 802.11g has to lower the PA power because of the PAPR of OFDM and 
meeting the 802.11g EVM spec.



It is true that 2.4 GHz can be very polluted. We found the noise floor to be 
really awful. 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

I have read Jack's book and I must say that it is very well written and
is very easy to understand.  It is, however, VERY technical.  There is a
lot of math, but that is out of necessity.  Personally, I highly
recommend the book.  http://www.ask-wi.com/book.html for those that

2009-10-04 Thread Rick Harnish
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.  

Respectfully,

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. In my
mind, WISP's are a perfect example of good 'ol business ingenuity and
entrepreneurship if there ever was one. My hat is off to all of you!

I at least 15% of my customers use 360 and none have problems...  and two of 
them (myself included) are highly intolerant of network issues.

Subject: [WISPA] XBOX 360

 I have a couple XBOX 360 players saying they are having lag
 issues.  It seems a low bandwidth consumer.  How are you guys
 optimizing for them?  I'd like to try and make them happier. Is there
 a down side?

 I know Marlon asked last winter but a good answer never appeared on the 
 list.

 Thanks

What kind of network topology do you have between your head end and their
Xbox?  Two or more layers of NAT, from what I read, bother the Xbox.

What kind of bandwidth does he get after a speed test?  Xbox uses a lot more
then I expect.  I remember at a LAN party the 1.5 meg T1 was full by 3-4
Xboxes.
