Introduction

This Tutorial on wireless networks expands on the CCIE-level Study Guide "Networking Without a Net" by Dennis Laganiere, adding the details on the common tasks a CCNA-level staff person would be expected to do as part of a wireless network installation. These tasks include the site survey, deployment planning, installation, and management of the wireless equipment. It is assumed that the site has already been deemed appropriate for a wireless network. All that the CCNA staff need do is properly set up the site for use.

The focus of this how-to tutorial is on a typical wireless extension to a wired local area network in an office building. Then, the differences that occur when this type of network is deployed in a warehouse are covered. Finally, the changes required when the network connection is outside are illustrated by a point-to-point campus area network link.

Concepts to Understand about Wireless Networks

Let's briefly review a few concepts to keep in mind as the practical information on site surveys, installation, and management of wireless networks is discussed later in this tutorial. A more extensive discussion of these topics is available in Laganiere.

Planes

As the Laganiere Tutorial pointed out, a radio uses radio waves to send and receive information. These radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation fields consist of two planes. It is necessary to understand what a plane is in relation to a radio wave front because it has an impact on the ability of two ends of a wireless radio link to communicate. These planes are:

E Field (Electric Field) - Exists in a plane parallel to the antenna

H Field (Magnetic Field) - Exists in a plane perpendicular to the antenna

In other words, the E field lines up with the antenna. Using a dipole antenna as an example of this the E field aligns this way.

Figure

Polarization

Related to the two planes exhibited by an antenna is the polarization of the signal. Radio frequency signals are polarized. The polarization aligns with the E field. If the electric field lines are parallel with the surface, then the polarization is horizontal. When those electrical field lines are perpendicular to the surface, the polarization is vertical. The antenna type and alignment determine the polarization of the radio wave. For maximum signal strength, the antennas at both ends of the transmission must use the same polarization. This is difficult to do in a wireless local area network. However, it must be done for the longer length connection used in a point-to-point campus area network.

Figure

Even if the two ends of a wireless network have their polarization perfectly aligned, signal strength is still lost due to several factors that affect the flow from the transmitter to the receiver.

Loss

All radio links suffer from loss. This loss can be due to the parts used or the environment through which the signal travels. Loss cannot be eliminated, just controlled.

Gain

Amplifiers produce gain in a radio. In general, do not change or add an amplifier to a radio system you buy. There are arguments for and against this practice. I do not use add-on amplifiers. If more gain is required, the gain of the antennas -- which is different from amplifier-produced gain -- should be changed instead.

Decibels

To measure loss or gain, a common unit is required. The decibel is the unit used. In the systems we are discussing it takes several forms.

dBm

Because the decibel is a ratio between two power values, such as input and output power, another measure is needed to express power in terms of a fixed reference point. This is the dBm. This uses 1 mW (milliwatt) as the standard. 1 mW = 0 dBm.

dBi

The dBi refers to the gain of an antenna in relation to a theoretical isotropic radiator. The isotropic radiator radiates in a perfect sphere around the antenna. The radiation pattern looks like a soccer ball or basketball with the antenna element in the center. When gain in dBi is produced, it is through redirection, or focusing, of the antenna's output. This behavior is similar to a light bulb that has no reflector, outputting its light in all directions, compared to a flashlight's reflector that focuses the beam in a particular direction. The light bulb maintains its output level, but it is focused, or concentrated, in a particular direction. Antenna gain is always redirection. Only amplifiers increase the real gain in a system. Think of this perfect sphere now as a balloon. If one side of the balloon is pulled out in a single direction, the size of the balloon is not changed. It is just redirected. This is what happens when a real antenna replaces the theoretical pinpoint antenna in the middle of the radiation sphere. The different shapes and sizes of the real antenna always redirect or distort this perfect spherical radiation pattern. Therefore, any real antenna has some gain, but only in relation to the perfect radiation sphere of an isotropic radiator.

Noise

The first of the environmental factors that produce loss is noise. Noise consists of all undesired radio signals, whether produced by humans or naturally occurring. Noise makes the reception of useful information difficult. The radio signal's strength is of little use if the noise power is greater than the received signal power. This is why the signal to noise ratio is important. Increasing receiver amplification cannot improve the signal to noise ratio since both signal and noise will be amplified equally and the ratio will remain the same.

Naturally occurring noise has two main sources: atmospheric noise, such as thunderstorms, from 0 to 5 MHz; and galactic noise, such as stars, at higher frequencies. Both of these sources generate sharp pulses of electromagnetic energy over all frequencies. The pulses are propagated according to the same laws as the desirable signals being generated by the radio equipment. The receiving system must accept them along with the desired signal.

The noise produced by human beings is part of modern life. It is generated almost anywhere that there is electrical activity, such as automobile ignition systems, power lines, motors, arc welders, fluorescent lights, and so on. Each occurrence is small, but there are so many that together they can completely hide a weak signal in an urban area that would be above the natural noise in a less populated area. This is also one form of a DoS attack that may be performed on a wireless network. An attacker can intentionally transmit garbage in the same frequency range as the wireless network and, providing they do so at sufficient power, will render the WLAN unusable.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

The measure of the effect of the noise in the environment is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). If the signal is more powerful than the noise, then reception is possible. The signal to noise ratio is the difference between the signal and the noise dBm values. To compute the SNR, given values in dBm, use this formula.

SNR (in dB) = Signal_strengh - Noise_strength (in dBm)

For example, for a signal value of -45 dBm and a noise reading of -92 dBm, subtract -92 from -45. The result is a SNR of 47 dB. Some site survey programs, such as the Cisco Aironet Client Utility may show a slightly different value.

SNR can also be calulated using the ratio of the signal and noise power levels (in Watts, for instance):

SNR = 10 * Log10(Signal_Power / Noise_Power)

Many site survey programs show the computed SNR along with the signal and noise values.

EIRP

Effective Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) is the power actually radiated by the radio system. It is the product of the power supplied to the antenna from the radio and the gain of the antenna. Governmental authorities regulate this power level.

For example

Factors That Affect Radio Wave Propagation

Keep in mind that the radio frequency environment is dynamic. In this way, the radio wave environment is similar to the weather. Just like the weather, we know quite a bit about how large systems operate. What we cannot predict is the microclimate for a locality. This is also true of radio frequency performance. The propagation of radio waves is well understood. Exactly how these waves will or will not penetrate a particular building is not. This is the main reason for the fade margin or fudge factor. This fade margin is used below when the site survey procedure calls for a line to be drawn connecting the 20 dB SNR points identified during the survey.

As radio waves move along their journey from here to there, many things act them upon. Most of these things are not good. Everything a radio frequency (RF) signal encounters on its journey has an effect on the signal. The effect is usually to make the signal smaller or to change its direction in some way.
