To increase the bit rate over than 1 Gb/s in LED visible light communications, we need to reduce the multipath effect of the light in indoor environment. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol for LED visible light wireless LAN with beamforming technique. We assumed that spatial light modulator is used for beamforming function. We use polling method since detecting another uplink channel is difficult in visible light communication. We also estimated the performance of the proposed MAC protocol.

In this paper, we design the radio interface protocols of wideband Wireless Local Loop(WLL) that uses wideband Code Division Multiple Access(CDMA), and propose the random access procedures on access channel and analyze the performance of the channel. The structure of radio interface protocols are designed by three modular parts to meet the requirements of IMT-2000 : radio resource controlling part that depends on the radio resources, connection controlling part that is independent of the radio resources, and application part that supports the interface between different parts and user terminals. In addition, we propose the random access procedures on access channel and analyze the performance of the channel. We assume that both near-far effect and shadow fading can be compensated by open loop power control. We observe that the number of access probes(delay) depend on the initial mobile transmission power and power increment, and the poor estimation of initial mobile transmission power might increase the average number of access probes.

WBSN (Wireless Body Sensor Network), also called WBAN (Wireless Body Area Networks) generally, is a kind of WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) applications, which is composed of the various sensor nodes residing in human body embodied or in wearable way. The measured data at each sensor node in WBSN requires being synchronized at sink node for exact analysis for status of human body, which is like WSN. Although many time synchronization protocols for WSN has been already developed, they are not appropriate to WBSN. In this paper, a new time synchronization protocol for WBSN considering the characteristics of WBSN is proposed. The proposed scheme is not only simple, but also consumes less power, leading to increasing network life time. We will show that the proposed scheme is appropriate to WBSN by evaluating its performance by simulation.

Under future internet environment, wireless sensor networks will be used in a wide range of applications. A major problem for designing sensor protocol is developing the most energy efficient technique to monitor an area of interest for a long time since sensors have some constraints such as small and a limited energy level. In addition, data latency is often a critical issue since sensory data is transmitted via multi hop fashion and need to be delivered timely for taking an appropriate action. Our motivation for designing a data forwarding protocol is to minimize energy consumption while keeping data latency bound in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a data forwarding protocol that consists of wakeup scheduling and MAC protocols, the latter of which is designed to achieve load balancing. Simulation results show that the proposed framework provides more energy-efficient delivery than other protocol.

Because of the limitation of supporting power, the current WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) Technologies whose one of the core attributes is low power consumption are the best solution for shipping container networking in stack environment such as on vessel. So it is effective to use the Wireless Sensor Network Technology. In this case, many nodes join in the network through a sink node because there are difficulties to get big money and efforts to set up a lot of sink node. It needs clustering-based proactive protocol to manage many nodes. But it shows low reliability because they have effect on radio frequency in metal obstacle environments(interference, distortion, reflection, and etc) like the intelligent container. In this paper, we proposed an improved Modified LEACH Protocol for stableness radio frequency environment. In the proposed protocol, we tried to join the network and derived stable topology composition after the measuring of link quality. Finally, we verified that the proposed protocol is composing more stable topology than previously protocol in metal obstacle environment.

NanoQplus, which is an embedded operating system for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and developed by Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), provides programmer-friendly preemptive multi-threading programming technique, but it has poor network protocol stack, as compared to TinyOS, one of the famous operating systems for WSNs. In this paper, we apply dynamic MANET on-demand routing (DYMO) protocol, which is being standardized in Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), to NanoQplus. Since DYMO has been proposed for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) and MANETs have less resource restrictions than WSNs, the basic DYMO protocol cannot be applied to WSNs without modifications. Moreover, coherence with MAC protocol should be considered in order to eliminate redundant data between MAC and network layers. Thus, we propose a modified version of the basic DYMO protocol for NanoQplus. The experimental results from a real sensor network test-bed show that the DYMO implementation using NanoQplus works efficiently in WSNs.

CDMA2000, 무선랜 등의 무선 네트웍 접속 환경이 좋아지고, 무선 기기의 능력 역시 예전에 비하여 비약적으로 발전하면서 핸드폰이나 PDA와 같은 단말을 이용한 무선인터넷의 이용이 점점 늘어가고 있다. ADSL, 케이블 모뎀 등을 이용한 인터넷 환경이 발달하면서 인터넷을 이용한 전자상거래의 수요가 폭발적으로 증가했듯, 이제는 무선인터넷을 이용한 전자상거래의 수요가 매우 커질 것으로 보이며, 이동통신 업체와 금융권 등 무선 전자상거래에 관련이 있는 다양한 분야의 업체들이 이 부분에 주목을 하고 있다. 그러나 안전성과 편의성이 지원되지 않는 전자상거래 시스템은 아무런 의미가 없으며, 이는 곧, 무선 전자상거래를 위해서는 이를 위한 정보보호 기반 기술과 보안 프로토콜이 선행되어야 함을 뜻한다. 본 고에서는 무선전자상거래를 위한 기반 기술 및 프로토콜에 대해 살펴보고 국내외 동향을 알아보고자 한다.

Group key agreement protocols are designed to allow a group of parties communicating over a public network to securely and efficiently establish a common secret key, Over the years, a number of solutions to the group key agreement protocol have been proposed with varying degrees of complexity, and the research relating to group key agreement to securely communicate among a group of members in integrated wired and wireless networks has been recently proceeded. Both features of wired computing machines with the high-performance and those of wireless devices with the low-power are considered to design a group key agreement protocol suited for integrated wired and wireless networks. Especially, it is important to reduce computational costs of mobile devices which have the limited system resources. In this paper, we present an efficient group key agreement scheme which minimizes the computational costs of mobile devices and is well suited for this network environment and prove its security.
