Abstract

Wi-Fi Direct standard technology(Wi-Fi Peer to Peer Technical Specifications v1.2, 2010) was designed for allowing peer to peer communication between two or more devices and various products which have been currently manufactured such as smart phone and smart TV have already provided this technical function. In this technology the role of Coordinator in Wi-Fi infrastructure would be matched to GO(Group Owner) which needs relatively high energy resource and computation power due to the high probability for allowing 3rd-party connection, however, the current standard specification would be limited in terms of energy distribution because it has not included a process to determine the role of GO. To address above problem, this paper classified considerable parameters into the general parameters for the physicality of devices and the specific parameters for considering the role position depending on use-case scenario, and proposed a new method called DIVA to help efficiently determining GO role from the member devices of Wi-Fi Direct network. Furthermore the effect of this mechanism was proved via simulation-based experiments.

현재 Wi-Fi Alliance에서 발표한 Wi-Fi Direct 표준 기술(Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer Technical Specifications v1.2, 2010)은 둘 이상의 장치로부터 Wi-Fi 직접 통신을 허용하기 위하여 정의된 기술로서, 최근 출시되는 스마트폰과 TV 등의 여러 장치에서 이 기술을 제공하고 있다. 본 기술에서 Coordinator 역할을 수행하는 GO(Group Owner)는 제 3의 장치로 부터 접속을 허용할 수 있기 때문에 상대적으로 높은 에너지 자원과 연산 능력이 요구되지만, 현재 표준 기술에서는 GO 역할 결정에 대한 환경적 요소를 고려하지 않으며, 따라서 각 장치 간 에너지 분산 측면의 효율성이 제한적이다. 본 고는 Wi-Fi Direct를 구성하는 각 장치의 물리적 파라미터와 사용자 환경에 의존적인 역할 기반의 파라미터를 도출하고 이를 통하여 GO 역할을 효율적으로 결정할 수 있도록 DIVA 방식을 새롭게 제안하며 실험을 통하여 효과를 나타내었다.
