Why High Client Density?
 Mobility has rapidly changed how we use and what we expect of
  wireless network resources
 Wireless is fast becoming the preferred option in edge technology
  and in a lot of cases the only practical one
 The need to provide high performance wireless connectivity to
  large dense groups of clients exists today in auditoriums,
  classrooms, lecture halls, sporting arena’s
 The same principles are becoming increasingly necessary in
  traditional coverage models due to the explosion of 2.4 GHz smart
  devices and increasing connection counts per seat
 Application demands are increasing in this medium
 Even with the fantastic advances - wireless is still a shared Half
  Duplex medium and requires efficient spectrum use to succeed.

Aggregate and Per-User Throughput
 802.11, like Ethernet, is a shared medium
 Aggregate throughput is the total bandwidth shared by all users in a
  cell
 Generally, the larger the cell, the more users
  in the cell
    Greater per user throughput means smaller cells and more access points for a given
     area

 How many users per access point?
    What’s the aggregate throughput of the access point?
    On average, what amount of per user throughput do you need to provide?

 If your application requires 3 Mbps then you can get 2 seats on
  802.11b or 4 seats on b/g mix
 6 seats on a pure 802.11g channel – or 802.11a
 This assumes that the channel is performing at peak efficiency
* Two spatial streams – note most PDA’s are SISO (MCS 7) 35 Mbps max

Points to Consider
 3 non-overlapping channels in 2.4 GHz
    4 possible in EU/J with 1,5,9,13 – 14

 12-21 non-overlapping channels in 5 GHz (check
  your regulatory domain)
 Not all clients will be able to use DFS channels or
  802.11n – 100-140 least supported
 802.11n AP’s will buy a lot of advantage for legacy
  a/g clients
 In general – treat 802.11n clients as a bonus and Do
  Not count on the number that will be able to use it
  unless you have certain knowledge of their presence
 5 GHz will be critical to supporting High Density

Channel Utilization – is the aggregate of every radio on the channel that can be
                 heard above -85 dBm – this means clients too.

What is CCA?
 802.11 is CSMA/CA – collision avoidance
 CCA is Clear Channel Assessment – and is the listen before talk
  component of Collision Avoidance
 With 802.11n radios CCA is typically linked to Preamble/Start of
  packet
 Radios are better (mostly)
 CCA - is -85 dBm for 802.11b/g/a
 If you can hear it above that – you are sharing the spectrum

Cell Isolation
 In a High Density Client environment, the AP’s will have the best view
  of the room often line of site to the client (in overhead mounting)
 Client devices will be embedded with the users and result in a 10-15
  dB attenuation. This serves to reduce the overall interference radius
  of the clients.
 Difficult to predict the radio dynamics affecting the client unless direct
  measurements can be taken when space is filled.
 Very possible to focus on the AP and it’s view of the world and
  improve downlink performance.
 The object is to make the network resilient by optimizing every aspect
  within our control

Channel Efficiency
 Range versus rate is something that we are generally working to
  maximize in a coverage design - However
 In High Density Design, the reverse is actually true – we want to
  minimize the propagation of a cell
 Minimizing the cell size is a function of limiting the propagation, there
  are 3 ways to do this–
    1.       Limiting supported rates
    2.       Managing the power of the radio’s (AP and Client)
    3.       Using the right antenna’s to shape both Tx and Rx cell size

 Properly applied, this will maximize channel re-use in a small space

Duty Cycle – and Spectrum Capacity

 Duty Cycle is the on time of a given transmitter
 It is measured as percentage of total time available, this relates
  directly to channel utilization, but is only part of the story – protocol
  overhead is the full story
 802.11 can only do essentially two things to recover in a
  challenging RF environment
      Retransmit a Frame – Turn the radio on again to send information that has
       already been sent once = Increased Duty Cycle
      Rate shift to a slower speed that can be supported – If retries are excessive,
       then the link will be rate shifted to a slower speed in an attempt to gain reliability

 Both of these will increase Duty Cycle and make the problem
  worse if it is a dense network

Capacity
 Capacity is throughput multiplied by available, non-overlapping
  channels
    802.11b and 802.11g operate in the same band, use the same three
     channels
             Any 802.11g capacity increase is from throughput alone
 802.11a currently provides 12 to 23 channels in most of the world
    While throughput might be similar to 802.11g, channels are not, neither
     then is capacity
 In theory, access points set to non-overlapping channels may be co-
  located to provide all available capacity in a single coverage area
    More commonly, it’s an expression of total throughput across a network or
     facility

2.4 GHz Efficiency
 Eliminate Lowest supported rates
    There is no consistency between clients on when to rate shift – and for how long.
     Eliminate support for this at the AP.

 Eliminate 802.11b all together if possible
    Eliminating all 802.11b rates removes the need for 802.11g protection mechanism’s
     (CTS to self) and significantly improves efficiency

 Beacons – will be transmitted at the lowest AP “Mandatory” rate
 A beacon will be sent for each supported SSID

Selection of AP’s
 The type of AP you select will have a large impact on the amount of
  data that you successfully deliver
 Any AP that you consider should at a minimum have diversity
  antennae's
 802.11n AP’s in general provide improved performance for legacy
  clients
 802.11n Clients get a huge benefit – and relieve a lot of stress on
  bandwidth for legacy clients (140 mbps connections for 802.11n in 20
  MHz)
 In all cases – Stock Omni antenna’s are the recommended approach

Antenna Theory and Antenna Gain
 A theoretical isotropic antenna
  has a perfect 360º vertical and horizontal
  beamwidth
 This is a reference for all antennae
 Gain is equal in all directions
 The reception of good signals                                                              Gain
  and interference is the same
  in all directions
High Gain Omni-directional Antennae:
 More coverage area on the
  horizontal elevation
 Energy level directly above
  or below the antenna will
  become lower



           There is no increase in transmitted energy with the higher gain
 BRKEWN-2019       © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.   Cisco Public          44
Higher Gain AP Antenna’s Provide Better
Reception of Client Signals
 Even if the client has a lower transmit power than the AP
 Even if the client has a lower gain antenna than the AP
 Because the signal is focused to a certain coverage area
         The signal received at the radio will have better signal
        strength because of the gain of the AP antenna
         In most cases the SNR will be better because the radio will not hear the signals
        that are not coming from the direction not covered by the antenna
 Reception gain has the same
  coverage characteristics
  as transmission gain

Managing the resulting RF
 Use RRM? YES!
 DCA will maintain channel plan with changing interference levels –
  this is a good thing
 TPC Threshold to adjust power levels to the floor
    Set threshold higher for 5 GHz
    Lower for 2.4 GHz

 Minimize cell foot print by eliminating lower data rates
 Maintain 20% cell overlap




                 Highly recommend versions 6.0 or greater
   BRKEWN-2019      © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.   Cisco Public   60
RRM Configurations – data rates
 5 GHz – eliminate 6-9 Mbps
 2.4 GHz – eliminate 1,2,5.5,6,9 Mbps
 Mandatory, Supported, Disabled – What’s it all mean
 If you can, eliminate 11 Mbps – turns off 802.11b all
  together!




 BRKEWN-2019   © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.   Cisco Public   61
DCA Settings
 Set DCA to Automatic
 Avoid Foreign AP interference
 Threshold for change can be managed buy changing to low
  sensitivity – 30 dBm improvement required for channel change
 Ensure DCA has run through startup




 BRKEWN-2019   © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.   Cisco Public   62
TPC Threshold
 5 GHz can be run much hotter than 2.4 GHz – more channels
 Hotter 5 GHz signals will also encourage dual-band reluctant clients to
  prefer 5 GHz
 Power levels of 4-5 is generally what you will want for 5 GHz, 7 is
  acceptable for 2.4 GHz.
 Test your coverage – and adjust

Beam Forming Enhancements

        Beam Forming will improve performance only when

              Translation: If the connection is already good (i.e. data rate of
               54Mbps) there is no improvement

        Measureable advantages:
                      Increased SNR at cell edges
                                                                             Provides

Load Balancing
   Implementation

        The threshold to start load balancing is configured as a
         number of clients
        Association denied (Code 17) frames will be sent to
         clients who attempt to associate to loaded APs
        If the client does not join a different AP, the “loaded” AP
         will allow the client to associate after a number of
         retries (default is 3)
        Configured on a per-controller basis at a global level
              Can be overridden for specific WLANs

Load Balancing
        Configuration — Per-SSID Override

     Load Balancing can introduce latency in the association and roaming
      process
     This latency is harmless for data applications but can negatively impact
      real-time applications.
     Recommendation: Disable load balancing for WLANs that handle
      real-time applications such as voice and video
     Example Below – disable load balancing for a specific WLAN

Load Balancing
   Caveats

        Load balancing only occurs amongst APs on the same
         controller
        Load balancing requires that the client respect the
         “Code 17” association response and act accordingly
        Load Balancing only occurs at initial association, not on
         re-association.
        Some older clients simply ignore the “Code 17”
         response and try and associate again.
        Known clients that load balance correctly:
              Intel 4965AGN (with 12.1 or later drivers)
              Cisco CB-21AG (with 4.2 or later drivers)

  • 2. Session Objectives  At the end of the session, the participants should be able to: Define High Client Density Understand how to define the mobile application requirements in terms of bandwidth/client Understand throughput characteristics of available wireless protocols (802.11b,g,a,n) Understand the RF challenges that come with High Client Density Understand the available mitigation strategies that can be employed and how/when to apply them Use the knowledge gained to educate end customers and produce successful wireless deployments BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 2
  • 3. What Will be Covered  Introduction – Challenge Statement  Key design criteria and concepts RF Basics in dense environments Balancing signal against interference  Available Design Elements Wireless protocols/capabilities Features - RRM, ClientLink, BandSelect, Antenna Selection, AP’s  Practical application BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 4. What Will Not be Covered  Specific Applications and their Performance  Wired side considerations and resource requirements Security Services Application server performance BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 4
  • 5. Why High Client Density?  Mobility has rapidly changed how we use and what we expect of wireless network resources  Wireless is fast becoming the preferred option in edge technology and in a lot of cases the only practical one  The need to provide high performance wireless connectivity to large dense groups of clients exists today in auditoriums, classrooms, lecture halls, sporting arena’s  The same principles are becoming increasingly necessary in traditional coverage models due to the explosion of 2.4 GHz smart devices and increasing connection counts per seat  Application demands are increasing in this medium  Even with the fantastic advances - wireless is still a shared Half Duplex medium and requires efficient spectrum use to succeed.

  • 7. Aggregate and Per-User Throughput  802.11, like Ethernet, is a shared medium  Aggregate throughput is the total bandwidth shared by all users in a cell  Generally, the larger the cell, the more users in the cell Greater per user throughput means smaller cells and more access points for a given area  How many users per access point? What’s the aggregate throughput of the access point? On average, what amount of per user throughput do you need to provide? BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

  • 10. How Much Bandwidth is Required? Often, less than you’d think  It is most likely that you won’t be Application – by use Throughput supporting just one application case – Nominal  Design for the highest bandwidth Web - Casual 500 Kbps demand that you intend to support Web - Instructional 1 Mbps What you really need here is the minimum Audio - Casual 100 Kbps acceptable throughput that the Audio - instructional 1 Mbps application will require Video - Casual 1 Mbps It is advisable to measure this yourself on multiple platforms - Video - Instructional 2-4 Mbps manufacturer/supplier numbers are good Printing 1 Mbps – but Trust and Verify is always a better career bet. File Sharing - Casual 1 Mbps File Sharing - Instructional 2-8 Mbps  Multiply this number by the number of connections/seats that you need Online Testing 2-4 Mbps to support Device Backups 10-50 Mbps  This is the aggregate bandwidth you will require in your space BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 13. Points to Consider  3 non-overlapping channels in 2.4 GHz 4 possible in EU/J with 1,5,9,13 – 14  12-21 non-overlapping channels in 5 GHz (check your regulatory domain)  Not all clients will be able to use DFS channels or 802.11n – 100-140 least supported  802.11n AP’s will buy a lot of advantage for legacy a/g clients  In general – treat 802.11n clients as a bonus and Do Not count on the number that will be able to use it unless you have certain knowledge of their presence  5 GHz will be critical to supporting High Density BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 16. Data Rate and Performance Variance  Data rates decrease with the increase of distance from the radio source and client power will increase  Individual throughput (performance) varies with the number of users  Performance degrades with radio interference from other sources  Critical deployment design goal is to achieve high data rate at cell boundary High signal AND low noise BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 16
  • 17. What is CCA?  802.11 is CSMA/CA – collision avoidance  CCA is Clear Channel Assessment – and is the listen before talk component of Collision Avoidance  With 802.11n radios CCA is typically linked to Preamble/Start of packet  Radios are better (mostly)  CCA - is -85 dBm for 802.11b/g/a  If you can hear it above that – you are sharing the spectrum BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 17
  • 18. Cell Isolation  In a High Density Client environment, the AP’s will have the best view of the room often line of site to the client (in overhead mounting)  Client devices will be embedded with the users and result in a 10-15 dB attenuation. This serves to reduce the overall interference radius of the clients.  Difficult to predict the radio dynamics affecting the client unless direct measurements can be taken when space is filled.  Very possible to focus on the AP and it’s view of the world and improve downlink performance.  The object is to make the network resilient by optimizing every aspect within our control BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 18
  • 19. Channel Efficiency  Range versus rate is something that we are generally working to maximize in a coverage design - However  In High Density Design, the reverse is actually true – we want to minimize the propagation of a cell  Minimizing the cell size is a function of limiting the propagation, there are 3 ways to do this– 1. Limiting supported rates 2. Managing the power of the radio’s (AP and Client) 3. Using the right antenna’s to shape both Tx and Rx cell size  Properly applied, this will maximize channel re-use in a small space BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 19
  • 20. Duty Cycle – and Spectrum Capacity  Duty Cycle is the on time of a given transmitter  It is measured as percentage of total time available, this relates directly to channel utilization, but is only part of the story – protocol overhead is the full story  802.11 can only do essentially two things to recover in a challenging RF environment Retransmit a Frame – Turn the radio on again to send information that has already been sent once = Increased Duty Cycle Rate shift to a slower speed that can be supported – If retries are excessive, then the link will be rate shifted to a slower speed in an attempt to gain reliability  Both of these will increase Duty Cycle and make the problem worse if it is a dense network BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Capacity  Capacity is throughput multiplied by available, non-overlapping channels 802.11b and 802.11g operate in the same band, use the same three channels Any 802.11g capacity increase is from throughput alone  802.11a currently provides 12 to 23 channels in most of the world While throughput might be similar to 802.11g, channels are not, neither then is capacity  In theory, access points set to non-overlapping channels may be co- located to provide all available capacity in a single coverage area More commonly, it’s an expression of total throughput across a network or facility BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 37. Selection of AP’s  The type of AP you select will have a large impact on the amount of data that you successfully deliver  Any AP that you consider should at a minimum have diversity antennae's  802.11n AP’s in general provide improved performance for legacy clients  802.11n Clients get a huge benefit – and relieve a lot of stress on bandwidth for legacy clients (140 mbps connections for 802.11n in 20 MHz)  In all cases – Stock Omni antenna’s are the recommended approach BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 40. Antenna Theory and Antenna Gain  A theoretical isotropic antenna has a perfect 360º vertical and horizontal beamwidth  This is a reference for all antennae  Gain is equal in all directions  The reception of good signals Gain and interference is the same in all directions High Gain Omni-directional Antennae:  More coverage area on the horizontal elevation  Energy level directly above or below the antenna will become lower There is no increase in transmitted energy with the higher gain BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 44
  • 41. Higher Gain AP Antenna’s Provide Better Reception of Client Signals  Even if the client has a lower transmit power than the AP  Even if the client has a lower gain antenna than the AP  Because the signal is focused to a certain coverage area The signal received at the radio will have better signal strength because of the gain of the AP antenna In most cases the SNR will be better because the radio will not hear the signals that are not coming from the direction not covered by the antenna  Reception gain has the same coverage characteristics as transmission gain BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 72. Load Balancing Implementation  The threshold to start load balancing is configured as a number of clients  Association denied (Code 17) frames will be sent to clients who attempt to associate to loaded APs  If the client does not join a different AP, the “loaded” AP will allow the client to associate after a number of retries (default is 3)  Configured on a per-controller basis at a global level Can be overridden for specific WLANs BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 74. Load Balancing Configuration — Per-SSID Override  Load Balancing can introduce latency in the association and roaming process  This latency is harmless for data applications but can negatively impact real-time applications.  Recommendation: Disable load balancing for WLANs that handle real-time applications such as voice and video  Example Below – disable load balancing for a specific WLAN WLC (Cisco Controller) >config wlan disable 2 (Cisco Controller) >config wlan load-balance allow disable 2 (Cisco Controller) >config wlan enable 2 (Cisco Controller) >show wlan 2 WLAN Identifier.................................. 2 Network Name (SSID)..............................

  • 75. Load Balancing Caveats  Load balancing only occurs amongst APs on the same controller  Load balancing requires that the client respect the “Code 17” association response and act accordingly  Load Balancing only occurs at initial association, not on re-association.  Some older clients simply ignore the “Code 17” response and try and associate again.  Known clients that load balance correctly: Intel 4965AGN (with 12.1 or later drivers) Cisco CB-21AG (with 4.2 or later drivers) BRKEWN-2019 © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
