HIPERLAN: HIgh PErformance Radio Local Area Networks
I. Introduction
Roughly speaking there are two types of wireless networks:
Local Area Networks (LAN)
Bluetooth, 802.11 Family, HiperLAN Family, HomeRF...
Wide Area Networks (WAN)

GSM, 3G, 4G, Iridium...
Two main standards families for Wireless Lan:

IEEE 802.11 (802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g...) ETSI Hiperlan (Hiperlan Type 1, Type 2, HiperAccess, HiperLink...)
HiperLAN Family

Motivation of HiperLAN
Massive Growth in wireless and mobile communications
Emergence of multimedia applications

Demands for high-speed Internet access Deregulation of the telecommunications industry
The History, Present and Future HiperLAN Type 1

Developed by ETSI during 1991 to 1996 Goal: to achieve higher data rate than IEEE 802.11 data rates: 1~2 Mbps, and to be used in ad hoc networking of portable devices Support asynchronous data transfer, carrier-sense multiple access multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), no QoS guaranteed. Products Proxim's High Speed RangeLAN5 product family (24Mbps; 5GHz; QoS guaranteed) RadioLANs products for indoor wireless communication (10Mbps; 5GHz; Peer-to-Peer Topology)
HiperLAN Type 2
Next generation of HiperLAN family: Proposed by ETSI BRAN (Broadband Radio Access Networks) in 1999, and is still under development. Goal: Providing high-speed (raw bit rate ~54Mbps) communications access to different broadband core networks and moving terminals Features: connection-oriented, QoS guaranteed, security mechanism, highly flexibility Product: Prototypes are available now, and commercial products are expected at the end of 2001 (Ericsson).
HiperAccess and HiperLink

In parallel to developing the HIPERLAN Type 2 standards, ETSI BRAN has started work on standards complementary to HIPERLAN Type 2

Typical application scenarios

HiperLAN: A complement to present-day wireless access systems, giving high data rates to end-users in hot-spot areas. Typical app. Environment: Offices, homes, exhibition halls, airports, train stations, etc. Different with Bluetooth, which is mainly used for linking individual communication devices within the personal area network
II. Hiperlan2 System Overview

Physical Layer
Data units on physical layer: Burst of variable
length, consist of a preamble and a data field Reference configuration
1: information bits 2: scrambled bits 3: encoded bits 4: interleaved bits 5: sub-carrier symbols 6: complex baseband OFDM symbols 7: PHY bursts
Spectrum plays a crucial role in the deployment of WLAN
Currently, most WLAN products operate in the unlicensed 2.4GHz band, which has several limitations: 80MHz bandwidth; spread spectrum technology; interference Spectrum allocation for Hiperlan2
Modulation scheme: Orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing (OFDM)

Robustness on highly dispersive channels of multipath fading and intersymbol interference Spectrally efficient Admits great flexibility for different modulation alternatives Facilitated by the efficiency of FFT and IFFT algorithms and DSP chips Hiperlan2: 19 channels (20MHz apart). Each channel divided into 52 subcarriers
Encoding: Involves the serial sequencing of data, as well as FEC Key feature: Flexible transmission modes
With different coding rates and modulation schemes Modes are selected by link adaptation BPSK, QPSK as well as 16QAM (64QAM) supported
Mode 1 2 3 4 5 6 7(optional) Modulation BPSK BPSK QPSK QPSK 16QAM 16QAM 64QAM Code rate 9/16 Physical layer bit rate (Mbps) 6 9 12 18 27 36 54
Data Link Control Layer
Three main control functions

Association control function (ACF): authentication, key management, association, disassociation, encryption Radio resource control function (RRC): handover, dynamic frequency selection, mobile terminal alive/absent, power saving, power control
DLC user connection control function (DCC): setup and release of user connections, multicast and broadcast
Connection-oriented
After completing association, a mobile terminal may request one or several DLC connections, with one unique DLC address corresponding to each DLC connection, thus providing different QoS for each connection
DLC: MAC Sublayer

Basic frame structure (one-sector antenna)
BCH (broadcast channel): enables control of radio resources

FCH (frequency channel): exact description of the allocation of resources within the current MAC frame
ACH (access feedback channel): conveys information on previous attempts at random access
Multibeam antennas (sectors) up to 8 beams supported
A connection-oriented approach, QoS guaranteed
Hiperlan implements QoS through time slots

QoS parameters: bandwidth, bit error rate, latency, and jitter The original request by a MT to send data uses specific time slots that are allocated for random access. AP grants access by allocating specific time slots for a specific duration in transport channels. The MT then sends data without interruption from other MT operating on that frequency. A control channel provides feedback to the sender.
DLC: Error Control

Acknowledged mode: selective-repeat ARQ Repetition mode: typically used for broadcast Unacknowledged mode: unreliable, low latency
DLC: other features

Radio network functions: Dynamic frequency selection; handover; link adaptation; multibeam antennas; power control
QoS support: Appropriate error control mode selected; Scheduling performed at MAC level; link adaptation; internal functions (admission, congestion control, and dropping mechanisms) for avoiding overload
