a.

Explanation of Solution

No”, 802.11 will not fully break down since the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and MAC (Media Access Control) of every access point is different.

Reason:

  • The two access point (AP) will typically have different MAC and SSID addresses. With the help of one SSID, a wireless station received to the café.
  • After the arrival, there is a virtual link between the access point (AP) and the new station.
  • Suppose the new station associates with first access point, a frames is send to the first access point...

b.

Explanation of Solution

Modification of answer for the given scenario:

  • First the given scenario is two ISPs are send their wireless station in the same channel so that time collision will occurs, but here one access point operates on...

Suppose there are two ISPS providing WiFi access in a particular café, with each ISP operating its own AP and having its own IP address block. A. Further suppose that by accident, each ISP has configured its AP to operate over channel 11. Will the 802.11 protocol completely break down in this situation? Discuss what happens when two stations, each associated with a different ISP, attempt to transmit at the same time. B. Now suppose that one AP operates over channel 1 and the other over channel 11. How do your answers change?
Given a scenario where there are two ISPs each running its own Access Point, and each using its own block of IP addresses. Consider that each Access Point was configured to run over channel 1, by each of the ISPs. Would the 802.11 protocol completely break down in this scenario? Explain using the following: if there are two stations, each associated with a different ISP, describe what happens when they both attempt to transmit at the same time.  Suppose instead that one Access Point was configured to run over channel 1 and the other over channel 11. How do your answers in part a change using this scenario?  Please answer question 1 and 2.
Use a diagram to illustrate the four-way handshake protocol for channel reservation in IEEE 802.11 (i.e., WiFi). Please indicate the name of each frame, and also the idle period before each frame is transmitted. (Tips: the protocol used is CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS.)
