RADIO ENVIRONMENT HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE CONCLUSION

 WIRED USB
OVERVIEW
EASE OF USE The real plug and play PORT EXPANSION Interconnects were optimized for two point products There was need for a bi-directional, low cost,low to mid speed peripheral bus

 WIRED USB
Technical Details
Host/Slave Connection
PC (host) manages all transfers; peripherals (slave) just responds Supports 127 slaves per host

Physical Connection
Four wire connection Two wires for power (+5 and GND) Two wires (twisted pair) for synchronous serial data Computer supplies power (up to 500 mA)

Data Rates
Low Speed: 1.5 Mbps (Keyboards, mice, etc.) Full Speed: 12 Mbps (USB1.1 max speed) Hi-Speed: 480 Mbps (USB2.0 max speed)

 INTRODUCTION
WIRED USB REASONS FOR WIRELESS USB FUTURE OF MOBILITY

RADIO ENVIRONMENT HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE CONCLUSION

 Issues Of Wired USB

Wires are restrictive Multiple wires can be a hassle Wires are slower than wireless solutions

Inadequacy of current wireless solutions

Bluetooth
Bandwidth of 3 Mbps not enough for higher demand applications (Video, HDTV, Monitor)

WiFi
Expensive High power usage in mobile devices

 INTRODUCTION
WIRED USB REASONS FOR WIRELESS USB FUTURE OF MOBILITY

RADIO ENVIRONMENT HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE CONCLUSION

Access to Anything You want

Delivered to you Easily

When You want it

Reliably

Where You want it

And Securely

INTRODUCTION RADIO ENVIRONMENT HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE CONCLUSION

 INTRODUCTION RADIO ENVIRONMENT

PHY characteristics WiMedia and MAC

HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE CONCLUSION

 UWB Spectrum is not legal in all countries,whereas the USB-IF is still working with legal permissions

 Hi-speed at short range

480Mbps (~3m)

Scalable performance

 INTRODUCTION RADIO ENVIRONMENT

PHY characteristics WiMedia and MAC

HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE CONCLUSION

 Chanel time : 65 millisecond superframes Supports TDMA capabilities

Wireless USB uses this feature

All wireless USB products need to be good WiMedia citizens

Primarily the goal of Wireless USB hosts

INTRODUCTION RADIO ENVIRONMENT HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE CONCLUSION

 Bandwidth
480 Mbps @ ~3m Scalable architecture and protocol

Power management(Battery preservation)

Sleep/Listen/Wake conserve under operation Tx/Rx power management

Security (Secure connection)

Device secure assosiation and authentication Low overhead minimize performance impact Encryption

Ease of use (Similar to wireless USB)

Easy installation& setup Backward compatible to wired USB Low cost implementation

 USB Wire Replacement Technology Matches data rate of USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) Hub-and-spoke connection relationship Connection model is a wire replacement
Point-to-point connections Between Certified wireless USB host and peripheral

Up to 127 devices

Certified wireless USB cluster

Wireless USB Host with one or more peripherals (up to 127 addressable devices) Host scheduled data communications

Certified Wireless USB clusters may co-exist within an overlapping spatial environment

Dual Role Devices

 Effective power management was important design goal

Portable (battery powered) devices are very popular No longer have a cable to deliver power

Explicit host controller transaction scheduling provides opportunities for power management
Host and device have explicit times when they are able to transmit and receive Radios can be power managed at all other times

 Protocol designed from the ground up, optimized for a wireless medium
Power management Security and association Operating System support/class driver protocol maintained Data throughput Bandwidth allocation/isochronous support

75% efficient (352 Mbps) in dedicated environment 66% efficient (160 Mbps out of 240 Mbps) in shared environment

 INTRODUCTION RADIO ENVIRONMENT HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE

SECURITY AND ASSOSIATION ENABLING PRODUCTS

CONCLUSION

 Securitys job
Protect data in transit (loss of wires) Encryption is used

Associations job
Connect the owners devices the way the owner wants them connected

 Contains everything needed to make a secure communication Unique for each host device pairing

 INTRODUCTION RADIO ENVIRONMENT HIGH-LEVEL ARCHITECTURE

SECURITY AND ASSOSIATION ENABLING PRODUCTS

CONCLUSION

 PCI (or PCIe) based solutions

Can go in add-in card slot Cardbus or Express Card solutions

Wired USB dongle

Cabled base station variety Small key solutions

USB 2.0

USB 2.0

Certified Wireless USB Host Wire Adaptor: HWA

Certified Wireless USB Device Wire Adapter: DWA

 Looks like a wireless hub Single chip implementations can be integrated directly into devices Wired to wireless decrease data throughput

 Appears well designed; good support Slow start of products

Will it really catch on? More products need to be developed

Promises a lot; will it deliver? Security is very important
