최근 유비쿼터스 네트워크 환경을 구축하기 위해 많은 무선 통신 기술들이 등장하였다. 그 중 무선랜 기술은 쉬운 설치와 저렴한 비용 덕에 폭발적인 보급이 이루어 겼다. IEEE 802.11 표준을 기반으로 만들어진 무선랜은 여러 개의 전송속도를 지원한다. 대표적으로 802.11b는 1, 2, 5.5, 11MbPs의 4가지 전송속도를 지원한다. 낮은 전송속도로 전송을 하면 패킷 전송시간은 증가하지만 비트 에러율은 감소된다. 각각의 전송속도에 따라 다른 패킷 전송 성공률을 갖게 된다. 한 무선랜 AP에 연결된 노드들은 각자 자신의 처리율을 최대화할 수 있는 전송속도를 결정하여 사용하게 된다. 이러한 상황은 전체 시스템 성능에는 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 각자의 전송속도를 각자가 결정하는 것이 전체 시스템 성능에 문제를 발생시키는 경우를 보이고, 그것을 해결하기 위해 AP가 각 노드의 전송속도를 결정하는 기법을 제안한다. 나아가 무선랜에서의 문제점인 Performance Anomaly 현상을 해결하고, [3]에서 언급된 Inefficient Equilibria 현상도 막아본다.

These days wireless network devices (smartphones, tablet PC, laptop) are being utilized more frequently. In line with the increasing number of users of a wireless network, the usage of wireless access points is also increasing. Nowadays as nationwide wireless network services being made available, wireless networks are increasingly being used due to the lower costs of building faster and affordable private or carrier networks. However wireless security is not keeping up with this development. Many use open networks where anyone can join, meanwhile for those using wireless security protocols there is the problem of managing the password. In this paper, we analyze the problems of trying to build a user authentication system using an access point and the RADIUS server.

Due to the development of communication technology, a conventional major business through PC, laptop or Tablet PC can be performed via a smartphone and it is increasing the user's convenience. At this point, the user prefers to connect to the Internet using the wireless network because it occurs an additional charge according to the amount of data to be transmitted when using a data communication through 3G or 4G. However, when using a wireless network, there is a possibility of several attacks such as easily steal or modulate the information from the outside or to gain access to personal information stored in the user's smartphone with man-in-the-middle attacks by using the fake AP. IIn this paper, we describe how you can detect the AP when you use LAN of the smartphone, were analyzed for this vulnerability, has not been approved. Furthermore, Also, we discuss ways which can enhance the security when user the access to the internet services (i.e., internet, public/private cloud service, etc.) via wireless network in smartphone.

In order to support the mobility of the wireless devices, at least two APs (Access Points) must be arranged in a single AP area to maintain communication area. In the WLAN (Wireless LAN) environment, seamless handover is one of the most important issues in terms of effective utilization of wireless networks and maximization of services for users. On the other hand, SDN (Software-Defined Networking), which is emerging rapidly in recent years, is revolutionizing network management in terms of flexibility, fine control, and convenience. SDN originally reduces latency time or increases network robustness by real-time flow table control reducing or bypassing paths between switches in LAN-based data centers. In this study, we apply OpenFlow, a SDN platform focused on wired LAN, to a dense WLAN environment using legacy APs to implement and evaluate seamless handover for streaming services of digital contents.

The optimal AP placement for wireless LAN is important factor for improving service quality and reducing cost. Decision of AP placement is depend on radio signal strength, environment factor and logical area property, which is user's frequently posed place. This paper proposes optimal multiple AP placement method based on radio prediction tool. The proposed method can get flexibility in multiple AP placement using user defined parameter and the optimization design uses Hopfield network algorithm. And path-loss model is used for one of radion prediction model. The result of simulation shows that it is efficiently reduces the process to find optimal AP placement. And the proposed optimization design of multiple AP placement can improve service quality for wireless LAN.

The wireless AP positioning system is under active progress regarding research and commercialization due to its merit of being able to overcome the representing demerits of existing GPS positioning, which are signal distortion and poor signal reception. This system's feature is to collect AP information distributed throughout the real world, store it on database, and execute positioning by comparing with searched AP information. The positioning process uses collected data, whereas comparison of database data uses the fingerprinting method. The fingerprinting method is a probabilistic modeling method that acquires as much of the data collected from one location upon database composition, to store the value's average value and use it in positioning. Yet, using the average value may contain the probability of errors. Such errors are fatal weaknesses for services based on the background of accurate positioning. This paper deals with the characteristics and problems of the previously used wireless AP positioning system, and proposes measures of using AP information for outdoor positioning in order to solve the aforementioned problems.

The vulnerability issue on IEEE 802.1x wireless LAN has been permits the malicious attack such as Auth/Deauth flooding more serious rather than we expected. Attacker can generate huge volume of malicious traffic as the same methods on existing wired network. The objective of wireless IP Traceback is to determine the real attack sources, as well as the full path taken by the wireless attack packets. Existing IP Traceback methods can be categorized as proactive or reactive tracing. But, these existing schemes did not provide enhanced performance against DoS attack on wireless traffic. In this paper, we propose a 'TTL based advanced Packet Marking' mechanism for wireless IP Packet Traceback with wireless Classification function. Proposed mechanism can detect and control DoS traffic on AP and can generate marked packet for reconstructing on the real path from the non-spoofed wireless attack source, by which we can construct secure wireless network based on AP with enhance traceback performance.

With the development of mobile communications and Internet technology, there is a strong need to provide seamless and fast connectivity for roaming devices. Generally, the mobile host (MH) may have several available networks when entering a new wireless area. However, the standard of decision for user's internet connection is provided only the subsystem identification (SSID) and signal strength of access point (AP). These two standards could not enough to decide optimal AP to the MH. Therefore, to decide the optimal AP, more information is needed. In this paper, we present additional information such as status of MH, capacity, current load, and depth of network hierarchy, by router advertisement message at layer 3. Also, we proposed decision engine (DE) on the MH that analyzes APs and decides the optimal AP automatically by AP's status information. For the MH, wireless connection period is increased, the power consumption is decreased, and the signaling overhead is reduced. For AP and router, the load balancing is provided and the network topology can also be more efficient.
