Recently, WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) which has progressed standardization based on IEEE 802.15.6 standardization is a network for the purpose of the short-range wireless communications within around 3 meters from the inner or outer human body. Effective QoS control technique and data efficient management in limited bandwidth such as audio and video are important elements in terms of users and loads in short-range wireless networks. In this paper, for high-speed WBAN IEEE 802.15.6 standard, the dynamic allocation to give an efficient bandwidth management and weighted fair queueing algorithm have been proposed through the adjustment of the super-frame about limited data and Quality of Service (QoS) based on the queuing algorithm. Weighted Fair Queueing(WFQ) Algorithm represents the robust performance about elements to qualitative aspects as well as maintaining fairness and maximization of system performance. The performance results show that the dynamic allocation expanded transmission bandwidth five times and the weighted fair queueing increased maximum 24.3 % throughput and also resolved delay bound problem.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode-Passive Optical Network(ATM-PON) Technology is one of the best solutions for implementation of broadband access network. In this paper, we propose a new Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm for ATM-PON systems. The DBA is a key technique for data traffic management. DBA has been studied widely to allow ATM-PON to transport data traffic cost-effectively and efficiently, and currently a hot standardization issue in Full Service Access Network(FSAN) and ITU-T. The proposed DBA algorithm efficiently manages the user traffics according to their service categories. Performance of the proposed algorithm, in aspect of Cell Transfer Delay(CTD) and Cell Delay Variation(CDV), is evaluated using computer simulation.

In wireless networks there are various errors, caused by multi-path fading and interference between devices which lower the network Performance. Especially, performance of IEEE 802.IS.3 High-Rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) which is operated in ISM unlicensed frequency band is easily affected by channel errors. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm which takes channel errors into consideration in scheduling asynchronous data traffic. The proposed scheduling algorithm can allocate CTA(Channel Time Allocation) proportionally in accordance with the requested channel time of each device. It also prevents waste of channel time by allocating CTA of the channel-error devices to other channel-error free devices. After recovering from the channel error, the devices are compensated as much as they conceded during channel error status. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling algorithm is superior to the existing SRPT(Shortest Remain Processing Time) and RR(Round Robin) in throughput and fairness aspects.

A fairness control method for Distributed-Queue Dual-Bus(DQDB) has been studied under specific traffic types such as equal probability traffic, symmetric traffic and asymmetric traffic. To distribute DQDB network bandwidth fairly to all stations under general traffic such as a client-server traffic that differs from specific traffic types, we propose an effective fairness control method. Based on an access limit, the proposed mechanism applies two bandwidth control mechanisms to DQDB networks. One is the mechanism that is called APS(Access Protection Scheme) for servers. And another is the mechanism that controls the allocation of bandwidth only using an access limit lot clients. Simulation results show that it outperforms other mechanisms.

Recently many short-range transceiver systems, such as ZigBee, Bluetooth and RFID(Radio Frequency Identification), have been developed. These systems are mostly low-power transceivers. In the near future many more low-power transceivers are appeared for WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) and interference mitigation technologies are necessary to the low-power transceivers for using frequency resources efficiently. In this paper we consider two methods for sharing frequency resources. The first case is that a frequency band previously assigned fer a certain system is shared and the second case is that the white frequency band is shared. We study the method and conditions for sharing frequency resources in the above two cases. When a frequency band is shared with ZigBee, RFID, DCP (Digital Cordless Phone) and Bluetooth as an example for the first case, the sharing conditions are investigated and the results are presented. We propose a balancing factor to maintain an equal transmitting conditions between systems having a different interference mitigation technique. In the interference simulation we use FH(Frequency Hopping) as a reference system and 0.9 of a balancing factor for LBT(Listen Before Talk) and 0.8 for DS(Direct Spreading). From the simulation results we know that a balancing factor reduces interference probability therefore many more systems can be operated in the same frequency bands compared with the case without using a balancing factor.
