How does Interference impact Wi-Fi?
Separating the FUD from the Fact‘s

 802.11a/b/g/n - CSMA/CA or LBT (listen Before Talk)
 Collision Avoidance – 802.11 very very polite – by
  design
        CCA
        Collisions
        SNR
 CCA – Clear Channel Assessment
        ED – quick – low power - prone to false positives
        Preamble – takes time – power – less prone to false
 CCA threshold for 802.11b/g is -65 dBm
 CCA for 802.11a is different -65 dBm ED, if true then 20
  dB lower for Preamble interrogation needs to be
  processed -85 dBm

How does Interference impact Wi-Fi?
Separating the FUD from the Fact‘s

 Collisions - Non Wi-Fi devices do not participate in our CA
  mechanism – they have their own
 No respect for Wi-Fi – results in:
        Corrupted packets
        Increased retransmissions
        Increased Duty Cycle
        Less available bandwidth
 SNR – Signal to Noise ratio
      High SNR                                             Low SNR

802.11 and Duty Cycle – Channel
Utilization

 Retransmit a packet
 Duty Cycle of interference is directly proportionate
  to channel time available
 Busy network – less interference tolerance
 Less busy – might not even notice low levels of
  interference
 Bandwidth is like Money – the more you get the
  more you spend

Wi-Fi and Spectrum Knowledge – Why
is silicon important?

 A Wi-Fi chip is a communications processor – a
  MODEM
 It only knows
        Energy that can be demodulated = Wi-Fi
        Energy that can not be demodulated = Noise

 Noise is complicated –
        Collisions, fragments, corruption
        Wi-Fi that is below sensitivity threshold of the receiver

 Peaks in Wi-Fi activity can cause all of the above to
  occure

“When the students returned this year, if you asked me
 what percentage of students are using the Wi-Fi network
 – I would have told you 40%. I was shocked to see 85%
 of them using the Wi-Fi network”

Key Components Interaction

 Information is driven in two ways
       AQI – Air Quality index reporting
       IDR – Interference device report

 Air Quality – Is derived by the AP’s, Stored on WLC,
  and polled by WCS
 Interference Device Reports – are reported to WLC
       WLC will merge multiple IDR’s
       Keep a limited Database (single reporting period)
       Forward NMSP notification message with IDR payload to MSE

The CleanAir AP

 Built into the silicon of the Wi-Fi chip is an additional
  500K logic gates that house the SAgE logic.
 SAgE is the spectrum analyzer that was used on the
  Spectrum Expert Cards (Spectrum Analysis Engine)
 Controlling the SAgE hardware is a software known as
  SensorD – where all measurements are gathered and
  reported to and from the AP
 SensorD does all classification of devices and
  calculations required to populate upstream information
  stores and handles interfacing to CAPWAP

Information passed from the AP to controllers is minimal.
No off platform calculations are performed: it all happens
on the AP

Air Quality Index - AQI

 Air Quality is a measurement
  of non-wifi and adjacent
  channel interference
 All Individual devices when
  Classified are assigned a                                                              Good
  Severity Value
 Air Quality is a measure of all
  Devices/Severities within a
  Radio, Floor, Building, or
                                                                                          Bad

Air Quality and Severity

 For each Classified Device – a Severity Value
  is calculated                                                                               35



 Severity of 0 is not Severe – a Severity of 100
  is very severe.                                                                             63



 Severity is a local opinion of the reporting AP
  and takes into account the type of device,                                                  90

  Duty Cycle (persistence) and Power as
  measured by the AP.

 For the same device – severity will differ on
  each reporting AP because of the AP’s RF
  relationship to that device.

Air Quality and Severity




 Severity is used to understand the potential impact to a Wi-Fi
  network
 The RSSI at the AP for this interferer (-78) is well below CCA
  threshold (Clear Channel Assessment)
 Even with duty cycle of 100% - the severity here is 17 – if it was
  closer to us, the severity would be much higher
 BRKEWN-2013   © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.   Cisco Public   28
Air Quality and Severity

 Severity is calculated for a single device
 All devices affecting a radio/channel are added
  together and subtracted from Air Quality for that for
  that radio/ served channel
 Separate AQ metrics exist per band
 Air Quality is observable at the Radio/channel level,
  or averaged together for a Floor, Building, Campus
  in a hierarchical fashion.

AQI In-Depth
 Each AQ report contains the average, and the
  minimum observed AQ during the period
 Each CleanAir Radio sends AQ reports
  independently to the WLC for the channel it is
  serving (15 Minutes by default) or all channels if in
  Monitor Mode (MMAP)
 WLC Maintains last normal AQ report for each radio
  until update is received
 WCS polls each WLC at predetermined (normal or
  rapid) intervals (Normal 15 minutes, Rapid 30
  second)
Design Decision Moment: Rapid Update mode for a given radio
interface, pollutes overall average as normal averaging is suspended
while active

AQI Summary

 AQ reports drive the AQI
 AQ is good at 100 and bad at 0
 ED-RRM feature is driven by AQ directly from the
  AP – independent of the controller or RRM
 Air Quality is a measure of NON Wi-Fi interference
  and Adjacent Channel Wi-Fi only
 All on channel Wi-Fi is monitored by the Wi-Fi chip,
  CleanAir is locked out.

IDR In-Depth – The AP - PMAC

 Pseudo – MAC applied to analog device signatures
 PMAC will never calculate exactly the same on all AP’s
  detecting the same device – but rather similar
 PMAC will change overtime for a given device
       Battery operated devices – voltage drop – temp variations
       Measurement accuracy – or inaccuracy

 The AP will combine devices that can not reliably be
  merged with devices seen by another AP

PMAC Merge




•Once the PMAC Signatures are merged – we can identify which AP’s are
hearing the same device
•Notice the Cluster Center – this is the closest AP to the device

WLC and PMAC Merging

 WLC performs comparison function on received
  IDR’s PMAC
 WLC can merge devices for AP’s physically
  connected to it
 WLC merge results are only viewable in IDR traps
  sent to trap receiver (WCS)
 No Location is performed on WLC merged
  interferers
 The result of a WLC merge is forwarded to the MSE
  (If present) along with all of the supporting IDR’s


BRKEWN-2013   © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.   Cisco Public   38
The MSE

 All IDR’s received by a WLC are sent to MSE via
  NMSP notify with IDR payload
 NMSP message includes the merged IDR and the
  individual IDR’s used for that conclusion
 IDR’s are re-merged at the MSE, this
  accommodates multiple WLC systems
 A tracked Interferer is equal to a client for CAS
  license purpose – each active merged interferer will
  consume 1 seat

MSE – WLC Merging and Location

 MSE and the WLC rely 1st on RF Neighbor lists to
  establish spatial probability in a merge
 LMAP AP’s are active and send neighbor messages
  as part of normal RRM operation
 Changing Neighbor message defaults will affect
  merging
 MMAP AP’s are passive devices and do not send
  neighbor messages

Interference Mitigation Features

 Persistent Device Avoidance – PDA
       Operates on Classification – IDR on a per AP basis
       Once set – biases DCA against the PDA channel for the
       detecting AP only
       Remembers interference and avoids placing the AP back on the
       same channel

 Energy Detect – RRM or ED-RRM
       Fast acting (=< 30 seconds)
       Works on AQI on a per AP basis
       Designed to prevent catastrophic interference from disrupting
       channel/clients

NOTE: Only Available with full CleanAir enabled installation – not overlay

 PDA logs the device for this AP.                                                            Impact.

 A CM bias is added to this AP’s
  channel 11 only
 The bias works in normal DCA
  operations to steer the AP away
  from channel 11 – it does not
  prevent the AP from re-selecting
  this channel
 AP remembers this bias for 7
  days, which is re-set if the
  device is seen again within that
  period
 If DCA determines that the
  affected AP is best on channel
  11 it will be assigned

PDA Operation
  If channel change is caused by PDA event – it will be logged
   in WCS – Monitor=>RRM
  PDA event is viewable on WLC=>wireless=>Access

ED-RRM Operation

 ED-RRM operates based on Air Quality (AQ)
 Each AP measures AQ over a 15 second period and reports
  it to the controller in as little as 30 second increments (rapid
  update mode)
 ED-RRM is designed to instantly sense a catastrophic
  interference source defined as a high duty cycle interferer –
  and if the AQI drops perilously – immediately change the
  AP’s channel independent of RRM.
 ED-RRM prevents the AP from returning to the original
  channel for 3 hours after the event.
 Channel Change reason is logged in Monitor RRM as
  catastrophic AQI event

 BRKEWN-2013   © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.   Cisco Public   47
ED-RRM Use Case

Video camera produces 100% DC
If seen at an AP above CCA threshold
the AP will stop beaconing, clients
will not attempt to associate



    The AP reacts almost instantly (within 30 seconds)
    Clients that have decent roaming capabilities will
     reconnect
    ED-RRM AQI thresholds are:
          Low – 35
          Medium (default) – 50
          High - 60

WCS CleanAir Maps
Selecting a map for a given floor provides detail relevant to the selected floor. You can change the AP tags
to display CleanAir information such as CleanAir Status (shows which AP’s are capable), Min or average AQ
values, or Average and Minimum values. The values are relevant to the band selected.




         Interferers displayed in this way do not require MSE – However they are
         Raw and not coordinated to eliminate duplicates

WCS CleanAir Security
 There are three devices enabled by Default for security – And not
  a single WIDs/WIPs solution on the market can see them
 The customer can also add any other device that they deem
  appropriate
       Jammer
       Wi-Fi Inverted
       Wi-Fi Invalid channel
 Jammers – are self explanatory – and readily available online
 Wi-Fi inverted is simply inverting the I and the Q of the RF signal –
  very effective
 Off Channel is a fairly easy hack with DD-WRT – simply moving
  the center frequency by a few KHz will render it invisible.

SE Connect-Cisco Spectrum Expert
               using a CleanAir AP as the sensor

 The CleanAir AP can be used as a remote sensor for an
  installed Spectrum Expert console on a separate host
 This is done by placing the CleanAir AP into SOMM mode –
  this will force the AP to become a dedicated Spectrum Expert
  Sensor
 Once the AP reboots and rejoins the controller – there will be
  an NSI (Network Sensor Interface) Key generated and
  displayed
 You will need the IP address of the AP, and the NSI key to
  attach to the AP in SOMM


You will also need version 4.0 or greater of Spectrum Expert to use this feature
   This version is still pending release as of this Webinar (June 16th 2010)

  • 5. How does Interference impact Wi-Fi? Separating the FUD from the Fact‘s  802.11a/b/g/n - CSMA/CA or LBT (listen Before Talk)  Collision Avoidance – 802.11 very very polite – by design CCA Collisions SNR  CCA – Clear Channel Assessment ED – quick – low power - prone to false positives Preamble – takes time – power – less prone to false  CCA threshold for 802.11b/g is -65 dBm  CCA for 802.11a is different -65 dBm ED, if true then 20 dB lower for Preamble interrogation needs to be processed -85 dBm BRKEWN-2013 © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 7. How does Interference impact Wi-Fi? Separating the FUD from the Fact‘s  Collisions - Non Wi-Fi devices do not participate in our CA mechanism – they have their own  No respect for Wi-Fi – results in: Corrupted packets Increased retransmissions Increased Duty Cycle Less available bandwidth  SNR – Signal to Noise ratio High SNR Low SNR BRKEWN-2013 © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 7
  • 8. 802.11 and Duty Cycle – Channel Utilization  Retransmit a packet  Duty Cycle of interference is directly proportionate to channel time available  Busy network – less interference tolerance  Less busy – might not even notice low levels of interference  Bandwidth is like Money – the more you get the more you spend BRKEWN-2013 © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

  • 28. Air Quality and Severity  Severity is used to understand the potential impact to a Wi-Fi network  The RSSI at the AP for this interferer (-78) is well below CCA threshold (Clear Channel Assessment)  Even with duty cycle of 100% - the severity here is 17 – if it was closer to us, the severity would be much higher BRKEWN-2013 © 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 28
  • 29. Air Quality and Severity  Severity is calculated for a single device  All devices affecting a radio/channel are added together and subtracted from Air Quality for that for that radio/ served channel  Separate AQ metrics exist per band  Air Quality is observable at the Radio/channel level, or averaged together for a Floor, Building, Campus in a hierarchical fashion.
