WDS
1.1 Overview
Definition
A wireless distribution system (WDS) connects two or more wired or wireless LANs
wirelessly to establish a large network.
Purpose
802.11 wireless technology has been widely used on home networks, SOHO, and enterprise
networks. Users can easily access the Internet over WLANs. On a wireless network, APs must
connect to the existing wired network to provide network access services for wireless users.
To expand the wireless coverage area, connect APs using cables, switches, and power
supplies. This increases network costs and prolongs network construction period. The WDS
connects APs wirelessly, facilitating WLAN construction in a complex environment.
Benefits
The WDS uses wireless links to connect two or more independent wired or wireless LANs so
that users in these LANs can exchange data with each other. Network deployment and device
installation are convenient.

On a traditional WLAN, you can create service virtual APs (VAPs) on APs to provide
access for wireless stations (STAs). On a WDS network, you can create bridge VAPs on
APs to provide access for neighboring bridges. The bridges then set up wireless virtual
links (WVLs).
Service VAP: a WLAN access point that an AP uses to provide the WLAN service for
STAs.
Bridge VAP: an access point that an AP uses to set up WVLs with neighboring
bridges. A pair of bridge VAPs is created each time. One is called AP bridge and the
other one is called STA bridge. The AP bridge provides a wireless access point for the
STA bridge.
WLAN AP
WDS Technology White Paper

Depending on the AP's location on the WDS network, a wireless bridge works in root,
middle, or leaf mode.
Root: The AP functions as a root node to directly connect to an AC using a cable, and
functions as an AP bridge to connect to a STA bridge.
The wired interfaces of APs on a WDS network can connect to ACs, switches, or hosts.
Depending on the AP's location, a wired interface on an AP works in root or endpoint
mode.

As shown in Figure 1-1, the WDS uses two APs to implement the wireless bridging of
LAN segments 1 and 2 so that LAN segments 1 and 2 can communicate with each other.
The peer MAC address is configured on each AP to determine the link to be set up.

As shown in Figure 1-3, on a P2MP network, AP1 is used as the central AP, and all other
APs establish wireless bridges only with AP1. This implements the connection of
multiple networks. LAN segments 2, 3, and 4 can only communicate through AP1.

If the bridge name in the packet is different from that of bridge B or bridge A's AP MAC
address is not in bridge B's whitelist, bridge B does not respond to bridge A.

If the AC delivers new WDS parameters to the bridges, the bridges use the new parameters to
perform step 1 to step 5.
If the AC delivers the configuration with WDS disabled, the AP disables all VAPs,
disables automatic discovery, and stops sending keepalive packets. Service access
parameters can be set, but WDS parameters cannot be set.
If the AC delivers the configuration with WDS enabled, the AP creates a VAP. WDS
parameters can be set. If existing WDS parameters are modified, the bridge needs to
rediscover the AC and set up a link.
If the AP's version does not support the WDS function, the AP notifies the AC that it
does not support WDS parameters. The AC still delivers other service parameters, but
does not deliver WDS parameters.
When the WDS-enabled AP receives VAP parameters delivered by the AC that does not
support the WDS function, the AP automatically switches the radio to access mode to
accept the VAP parameters.

Figure 1-4 shows the WDS P2P topology. The root AP connects to a middle or leaf AP in
bridging mode. Dual-band APs are used on the actual network. The APs use the 5 GHz radio
for radio backhaul and the 2.4 GHz radio to provide access for STAs.
The configuration notes in P2P networking are as follows:
The management WVL and service WVLs cannot be in the same VLAN; otherwise,
loops will occur. Table 1-2 describes the VLAN configuration plan.

Issue 01 (2013-05-10)
The management WVL does not support STP; therefore, other measures must be taken to
ensure that no loop will occur on the management WVL and external network.

STP can prevent loops between bridges and on the networks connected to AP wired
interfaces. The STP cost on Huawei switches (including ACs) complies with 802.1t,
while the STP cost on Huawei APs complies with 802.1d. When a Huawei AP is
connected to a Huawei switch and STP needs to be enabled for the WDS network, the
STP cost on the switch (or AC) must be correctly set; otherwise, the path on the root AP
may be blocked. For example, to set the STP cost on Huawei S5300, perform the
following operations:
<Quidway> system-view
[Quidway] stp pathcost-standard dot1d-1998
[Quidway] quit
If VAPs 12 through 15 have been configured, change the VAP IDs before enabling WDS.
The AP must be restarted after WDS is enabled or disabled, the wired interface role is
changed, or management VLAN is changed; otherwise, the configuration does not take
effect.
To ensure sufficient bandwidth, configure no more than three hops. If the first bridge
provides 150 Mbit/s throughput on the network shown in Figure 1-4, the throughput is
decreased to 20 Mbit/s after the first hop and to 5.7 Mbit/s after the second hop.
Disable the calibration function for the radio profile to prevent impact of calibration on
services. It is recommended that you configure an independent radio profile for the
bridge and add the bridge to an independent region.
Huawei ACs can change the country codes on APs. If an AC changes the country code
on a root AP, the country codes on the root AP and leaf APs may be different. In this case,
the root AP and leaf APs support different channel sets, and the leaf APs fail to associate
with the root AP. Therefore, ensure that the country codes on all APs are the same.

As shown in Figure 2-1, multiple APs are deployed on a WDS network, and APs connect to
the AC wirelessly. Users are unaware of the differences between traditional WLAN and WDS

The indoor WDS networking shown in Figure 2-3 applies to homes, warehouses, subways,
and enterprises. WLAN signals deteriorate because of walls and other obstacles. One AP
cannot provide signal coverage for all indoor areas. A WDS network connects multiple APs,
enlarging signal coverage and reducing cabling costs.
Outdoor obstacles include trees and high buildings. The radian of the Earth must be considered for a
long transmission distance. Therefore, select and install antennas based on the site requirements.

2 WDS Application
On a WDS network, two APs are deployed 1 km away from each other and work at the
frequency of 5000 MHz. The following assumes that radio waves are transmitted in free space
and n is 2, the pass loss is calculated as follows:
PL = 32.45 + 10 x 2 x lg(1) + 20 x lg(5000) = 106.4 dB
The calculation result shows that radio waves attenuate obviously in long-distance
transmission. In WDS application, two connected bridge APs may be dozens of kilometers
away from each other. As the transmit power of APs is fixed, the key to ensuring signal
quality in long-distance transmission is to select proper antennas.
TIP
In real radio environments, you can consider that radio signals are transmitted in free space as long as
they are not blocked in the first Fresnel zone. In this way, you can estimate signal attenuation easily.
Antenna gain: ratio of the power produced by the antenna from a far-field source on the
antenna's beam axis to the power produced by a hypothetical lossless isotropic antenna,
which is equally sensitive to signals from all directions.
Lobe width: angle of the sector formed by radio waves. An antenna transmits radio
waves of different strengths in different directions, so the lobe width is defined as the
angle between two directions with 3 dB power lower than the maximum transmit power.
In normal cases, when the antenna gain increases, the lobe width decreases and radiant energy
transmitted by the antenna is more concentrated.
Antenna Type
Depending on the signal radiation in horizontal or vertical planes, antennas are classified into
omnidirectional antennas and directional antennas.

On a P2P WDS network, directional antennas with a small lobe width are recommended,
because they can improve the transmission distance and signal quality. Directional
antennas with a small lobe width have a high antenna gain and can concentrate energy in
a narrow range.

In P2MP networking, if WDS APs are deployed far from one another, they may become
hidden stations of one another. If base stations A and C simultaneously send signals to base
station B because base station C does not know that base station A is sending information to
base station B, signal conflict occurs. As a result, signals sent to base station B are all lost. In
this situation, base stations A and C are hidden stations of each other. Due to competition
among bridges, transmission bandwidth in P2MP networking is much lower than that in P2P
networking when the transmission distance is fixed. Table 2-3 lists the reference values of
transmission bandwidth under various P2MP configurations.

If the first bridge provides 150 Mbps bandwidth on the network, the bandwidth is decreased
to 20 Mbps after the first hop and to 5.7 Mbps after the second hop. As 100 users share 10
Mbit/s bandwidth, 5.7 Mbps bandwidth is sufficient for 20 users.

Before performing the tasks in this example, ensure that the radios on AP1, AP2, and AP3 are
not configured with service VAPs with WLAN IDs of 13, 14, 15, or 16.
After data is planned, configure the WDS. Perform the following operations to configure a
bridge VAP:
Step 1 Configure the switch. Configure GE0/0/1 to allow packets from VLANs 100 to 106 to pass
through, set the PVID of GE0/0/1 to VLAN 100, and configure port isolation on GE0/0/1.
Configure GE0/0/2 to allow management packets from VLAN 100 to pass through.

Step 7 Create the WMM profile wp01 and the radio profile rp02 and bind wp01 to rp02. The bridges
use 5 GHz radio, but the default radio type in the radio profile is 802.11b/g and does not
support 5 GHz radio. You must change the radio type in the radio profile.

Step 8 Configure bridge whitelists for the APs, and add neighbors of each AP to the whitelists. The
whitelists prevent leaf APs from directly connecting to the root AP without connecting to
middle APs.
Configure the bridge whitelist for AP1.
[AC-wlan-view]bridge-whitelist name bw01
[AC-wlan-br-whitelist-ap1]peer ap 5489-9845-9573
[AC-wlan-br-whitelist-ap1]quit
Step 9 Configure the radio on each AP. Enable the 5 GHz bridge, set he bridge mode, and bind the
bridge whitelist to the radio.
Configure AP1 as a root AP.
[AC-wlan-view]ap 1 radio 1
[AC-wlan-radio-1/1]radio-profile name rp02
Warning: Modify the Radio type may cause some parameters of Radio resume defaul

Step 10 Configure the bridge profile. After a security profile is created, create a bridge profile and
bind the bridge profile to the radio profile to create a bridge VAP. Configure a service set and
bind the service set to another radio profile to create a service VAP.
