CWNP CWNA-109 Exam - Topic 2 Question 20 Discussion

Actual exam question for CWNP's CWNA-109 exam
Question #: 20
Topic #: 2
[All CWNA-109 Questions]

In an 802.11n (H T) 2.4 GHz BSS, what prevents each station from using all the airtime when other client stations are actively communicating in the same BSS?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

OFDMA is a new modulation scheme introduced in 802.11ax that allows multiple users to share the same channel by dividing it into smaller subchannels called resource units (RUs). This improves the efficiency and capacity of the WLAN by reducing contention and overhead. However, to use OFDMA, both the AP and the client must support 802.11ax and negotiate the parameters of the subchannel allocation.Therefore, the customer needs to upgrade the clients that require OFDMA to 802.11ax devices12.

The other options are not correct because they do not reflect the reality of OFDMA.Option B is incorrect because OFDMA is a mandatory feature of 802.11ax for both downlink and uplink transmissions, and all 802.11ax APs must support it1. Option C is incorrect because OFDM and OFDMA are different modulation schemes, and OFDM does not allow multiple users to share the same channel.Option D is incorrect because 802.11ac devices cannot support OFDMA through driver upgrades, as they lack the hardware and firmware capabilities to do so2.

Nope, it's all about CSMA/CA in wireless.

I thought OFDMA was supposed to help with that too?

Wait, isn't CSMA/CD more relevant for wired networks?

Totally agree, CSMA/CA is key for fair access!

It's definitely CSMA/CA that manages the airtime.

I feel like I might be mixing things up, but CSMA/CD is for wired networks, right? So it can't be that one.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that CSMA/CA is used to manage access to the medium, so that could be the answer.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about OFDMA being more relevant to newer standards, not 802.11n specifically.

I think it might be CSMA/CA since it deals with how stations avoid collisions in wireless networks.

CSMA/CA is the access method used in 802.11 networks to avoid collisions, so that's my best guess for the answer.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Let me re-read it and see if I can figure it out.

CSMA/CA makes sense to me as the mechanism that prevents stations from using all the airtime.

D) CSMA/CA is the way to go. It's the tried and true method for keeping all those stations from hogging the airtime. Though, I wonder if they have a special 'no cheating' mode for exam questions like this.

D) CSMA/CA, of course! That's the classic medium access control mechanism for 802.11 networks. Gotta love that Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance.
