The international standards of high-rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area network) are under development by IEEE802.15 WPAN TG3 (Task Group 3). The study area of TG3 mainly consists of three parts: high rate physical and media access control layer in 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) non licensed frequency band; an alternative high rate physical layer by using UWB (Ultra Wide Band); and another alternative high rate physical layer based on millimeter wave. This paper describes the standardization trends of UWB and millimeter wave.

IEEE802.15에서 표준화가 진행중인 WPAN(wireless personal network)은 개인영역 네트워크 혹은 근거리 무선 네트워크를 구축하기 위한 기술로, 개인용 컴퓨터, PDA, 주변기기, 휴대전화, 가전 등의 휴대나 이동 컴퓨팅을 위한 기술이다. IEEE802.15.1에서는 블루투스, IEEE802.15.4에서는 ZigBee를 위한 저속 WPAN(low rate WPAN) 그리고 IEEE802.15.3에서는 고속 WPAN(high rate WPAN)에 대한 표준화를 담당하고 있다. 본 고에서는 IEEE802.15 산하 TG3a에서 표준화 중인 Alt-PHY 기술로 경합을 벌이고 있는 MBOA(Multi-Band Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing Alliance) UWB(ultrawideband)에 대한 활성화를 꾀하고 있는 WiMedia Alliance의 시험인증 동향을 고찰하고자 한다.

Security in WPAN is one of the most fundamental issues to overcome the barrier of wireless environment. Although piconet security mechanisms have been defined in the WPAN standards, many remains open and are left for implementation. Koinonia is a high-rate Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology, and is developed for multimedia traffic transmission in personal area. In Koinonia WPAN, a piconet consists of one master and more than one slave, and piconet security mechanisms is not defined at all. Therefore, we propose a robust piconet security mechanism for secure communications between slaves in a piconet. Based on security requirements analysis, our proposed protocols are shown to meet the security needs for Koinonia high-rate WPAN.

IEEE 802.15.3 고속률 WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Networks)은 네트워크 구성 시 인증을 받은 노드들에게만 통신 권한을 부여함으로써 보안성을 높였다. 그러나 IEEE 802.15.3 WPAN에서 제안한 인증 방법은 사전에 각 노드들이 중앙 집중적인 키 관리자로부터 오프라인 상으로 인증키를 분배 받는 것을 가정으로 하고 있다. 이 같은 가정은 WPAN이 무선 Ad Hoc 네트워크로서 중앙 관리 노드가 부재하고 위상 변화가 유동적인 특성을 고려하지 못한 것으로 WPAN의 확장성을 감소시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 WPAN의 노드들이 온라인을 통해 협력적으로 인증키를 생성하는 분산 인증키 관리 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 WPAN 네트워크에 확장성을 제공할 뿐 아니라 마스터 노드에 대한 보안 의존성을 감소시켜 인증 서비스의 가용성을 증대시킨다.

A high-throughput Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check (QC-LDPC) decoder architecture is proposed for 60GHz multi-gigabit wireless personal area network (WPAN) applications. Two novel techniques which can apply to our selected QC-LDPC code are proposed, including a four block-parallel layered decoding technique and fixed wire network. Two-stage pipelining and four block-parallel layered decoding techniques are used to improve the clock speed and decoding throughput. Also, the fixed wire network is proposed to simplify the switch network. A 672-bit, rate-1/2 QC-LDPC decoder architecture has been designed and implemented using 90-nm CMOS standard cell technology. Synthesis results show that the proposed QC-LDPC decoder requires a 794K gate and can operate at 290 MHz to achieve a data throughput of 3.9 Gbps with a maximum of 12 iterations, which meet the requirement of 60 GHz WPAN applications.

KOINONIA is high-rate Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology, and is developed for multimedia traffic transmission in personal area. A KOINONIA piconet is a collection of one or more associated slaves under a single master. Efficient scheduling of a master for the traffic of slaves is essential to use channel effectively and to guarantee QoS of multimedia traffic. We propose a new scheduling algorithm to allocate channel time at desired intervals regardless of superframe length, and a Connection Admission Control(CAC) algorithm to regulate the number of traffics in a piconet. Our proposed algorithms have been shown to save channel time and to meet QoS requirements compared to the conventional weighted round-robin algorithm.

Ultra-wideband communication systems for impulse radio have merits that are possible for either high resolution ranging system or radio determination. Conventionally, in order to accomplish these functions, the rapid analog to digital convertor (ADC) is necessary to apply radio determination system operating in time domain. However, considering that low rate - wireless personal area network (LR-WPAN) aims to low-cost hardware implementation, the expensive ADC converting GHz sampling per second is not appropriate. So, this paper introduces the high resolution ranging system operating in frequency domain with using low sampling rate ADC, and a new non-coherent ranging scheme utilizing analog Frequency Modulation (FM) mode for the frequency domain transformation. To verify the superiority of the proposed ranging algorithm working in frequency domain, the suggested IEEE 802.15.4a TG channel model is used to exploit affirmative features of the proposed algorithm with conducting the simulation results.

This paper proposes the optimal transmission parameter selection method for an energy efficient Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) system which is applicable to the Maritime Telematics targeting for various ship models. Since the transmission parameter selection is an important factor for WPAN system to decide its energy efficiency, we propose an energy consumption model for ship area network (SAN) employing IEEE 802.15.3 based TDMA HR-WPAN model and analyzes the effect of transmission parameter selection on the performance of energy consumption. In particular, the main performance decision parameter of the SAN applying HR-WPAN is path loss, since it is very varied according to the material of shipbuilding such as steel (large ship), FRP (medium size ship) and compound wood (small ship). Thus, we analyzed and demonstrated that the proper transmission parameter selection among transmit power, PHY data rate and fragment size for each ship model guarantee the energy efficiency.
