NETW 563 Discussions Week 1-7
NETW 563 Standards and Antennas and RF Discussions Week 1
NETW 563 Standards Discussions 1 Week 1
Wireless technology has relied on standards since its outset. How has this assisted in the widespread acceptance of standards, and how do standards make it easier for us to purchase and use a wide variety of products? Standards are very important in everything. Why do we need standards in Wireless Technology? Why is it important? What would happen if we did not have standards?
NETW 563 Antennas and RF Discussions 2 Week 1
All forms of electromagnetic energy, from gamma rays to radio waves, travel through space in waves. How are radio waves generated, and how do they propagate? Discuss the physical differences between radio waves and light or heat waves. What is polarization? What is the concept of wave propagation?
NETW 563 Wireless Modulation and Access Control Discussions Week 2
NETW 563 Wireless Modulation Discussions 1 Week 2
WWhat are the four primary wireless modulation schemes? Which ones are used for WLANs, and what are their relative advantages and disadvantages? What is Modulation? How does it work? why do we use modulation?
NETW 563 Access Control Discussions 2 Week 2
The MAC layer has the primary responsibility of controlling access to the wireless medium. What are the two procedures for transmitting on a WLAN specified by the IEEE 802.11 standard?
NETW 563 Designing the WLAN and Site Survey Analyzers Discussions Week 3
NETW 563 Designing the WLAN Discussions 1 Week 3
Explain the steps in designing a WLAN. How do you determine the network type, access point management strategy, and location of the APs? How do you go about it?
NETW 563 Site Survey Analyzers Discussions 2 Week 3
What is the purpose of the analyzers? How can the information be used for configuration or troubleshooting purposes? What are site surveys? Are they mandatory and you go go without them? How is the information obtained from them can be used for configuring or troubleshooting?
NETW 563 Security Organizations and Securing the WLAN Discussions Week 4
NETW 563 Security Organizations Discussions 1 Week 4
Discuss some of the organizations dedicated to information security. Explain these organizations’ missions and goals. Is there an organization dedicated to wireless security? If so, please describe the organization and its goals
NETW 563 Securing the WLAN Discussions 2 Week 4
How have the IEEE 802.11 security mechanisms for wireless networks fallen far short of their goal? What are the vulnerabilities? How did WPA fix the problem in WEP?…
NETW 563 SNMP and Troubleshooting Discussions Week 5
NETW 563 SNMP Discussions 1 Week 5
SNMP is a protocol that allows computers and network equipment to gather data about network performance. It is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Discuss the role of a software agent in SNMP, and explain the purpose of the MIB. Explain how the SNMP management station gathers data, and describe the types of data that it collects and stores. Discuss how this information can be used for monitoring
NETW 563 Troubleshooting Discussions 2 Week 5
Define the term troubleshooting. What does it mean to you? Discuss why troubleshooting wireless networks can be more challenging than troubleshooting wired networks. Please back up your posts with supporting evidence. when you are in the networking domain, you will hear the term “troubleshooting” a lot. What does it mean in particular? Which is more challenging to troubleshoot, wireless or wired networks and why?
NETW 563 Getting to 4G and The Future of Satellite Radio Discussions Week 6
NETW 563 Getting to 4G Discussions 1 Week 6
Is the United States on track for 4G deployment? What barriers do you foresee preventing widespread acceptance and deployment? What is the evolution of cellular technology? What are the current 3G technologies?
NETW 563 The Future of Satellite Radio Discussions 2 Week 6
In 2008, XM and Sirius Radio were allowed to merge. Why did the FCC allow this merger? What is the future of this technology? Why did the FCC reverse course and allow this merger? Is satellite radio still a valid business model? Do you use it?
NETW 563 Traffic Shaping and Wireless Network Planning Discussions Week 7
NETW 563 Traffic Shaping Discussions 1 Week 7
What is traffic shaping? Why is traffic shaping a controversial topic? Has traffic shaping been applied to wireless networks? What is the reasoning behind traffic shaping in the wireless world?
NETW 563 Wireless Network Planning Discussions 2 Week 7
In a cellular or PCS network, what are some of the areas where traffic engineering comes into play? For example, one could use traffic engineering to determine the number of trunks needed to backhaul wireless traffic from the MSC to the PSTN. What are some other points in the network that should be sized? What is Traffic Engineering? Where is it mainly done at a cellular network? How does traffic engineering help our network?
