As a possible standardization of wireless local area network (WLAN), IEEE 802.11 LRLP is under discussion in order to support long range and low power (LRLP) communication for internet of things (IoT) including drones and many other IoT devices. In this paper, an efficient adaptive resource unit allocation scheme for uplink multiuser transmission in IEEE 802.11 LRLP networks is proposed. In the proposed scheme, which adopts OFDMA random access based transmission scheme of IEEE 802.11ax, in order to enhance the efficiency of the slotted OFDMA random access, access point (AP) traces the history of the sizes of successfully transmitted uplink data, and adjusts the sizes of resource units for the next uplink multiuser transmission adaptively. Our simulation results corroborate that the proposed scheme significantly improves the system throughput.

Ns-2 is a proven simulator which is widely utilized to evaluate the performance of wired and wireless network. Ns-2.33 version introduced the extended version including the modules which the core functions of existing 802.11 PHY and MAC layer are implemented. However, if the error rate, one of most important parameters to evaluate a performance of wireless network, is applied to the extended version, the simulation is ceased with several fatal errors. Furthermore, a packet error is detected and discarded on MAC layer in the traditional protocol architecture, but there is the problem which can't identify information about a packet with error by processing packet error on PHY layer in this version. In this paper, we modify the extended version to resolve the above mentioned problems. And also we perform ns-2 simulation using the modified version on the IEEE 802.11p based vehicular ad-hoc networks, and then analyze effects of error rate.

IEEE 802.11e proposed by IEEE 802.11 working group to guarantee QoS has contention based EDCA and contention free based HCCA. HCCA, a centralized polling based mechanism of 802.11e, needs a scheduling algorithm to allocate the network resource efficiently. The existing standard scheduler, however, is inefficient to support for QoS guarantee for real-time service having VBR traffic. To improve these limit, in this paper, we First, we propose priority polling algorithm which additionally considers the size of MSI and TXOP based on EDD algorithm to increase number of QSTAs. We also propose a dual token bucket TXOP allocation algorithm to reduce congestion caused by stations which enters network with considerable delay variance. TSPEC parameters, Maximum Burst Size (MBS) and Peak Data Rate (PR), are applied to design depth and token generation rate of two buckets. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has much higher performance compared with reference and SETT-EDD scheduler in terms of throughput and delay.

As the Internet usage grows, people want to access the Internet while they are moving. To satisfy this requirement economically, IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs(WLANs) are rapidly deployed. In order to support mobility, WLANs must provide smooth handoff mechanism. Recent studies show, however, handoff delay of WLANs exceeds 300ms, most of which is due to slow scanning mechanism finding a new AP. With this handoff delay, current WLANs is not suitable to provide seamless realtime interactive services such as VoIP sevice. In this paper, we analyze the current handoff method of IEEE 802.11 and we propose a new handoff algorithm which can decrease time needed for searching a new AP and thus reduce overall handoff time. We show by simulation that the proposed algorithm has shorter handoff delay than current handoff method.

IEEE 802.11 standard has achieved huge success in the past decade and is still under development to provide higher physical data rate and better quality of service (QoS). An important problem for the development and optimization of IEEE 802.11 networks is the modeling of the MAC layer channel access protocol. Although there are already many theoretic analysis for the 802.11 MAC protocol in the literature, most of the models focus on the saturated traffic and assume infinite buffer at the MAC layer. In this paper we develop a unified analytical model for IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in ad hoc networks. The impacts of channel access parameters, traffic rate and buffer size at the MAC layer are modeled with the assistance of a generalized Markov chain and an M/G/1/K queue model. The performance of throughput, packet delivery delay and dropping probability can be achieved. Extensive simulations show the analytical model is highly accurate. From the analytical model it is shown that for practical buffer configuration (e.g. buffer size larger than one), we can maximize the total throughput and reduce the packet blocking probability (due to limited buffer size) and the average queuing delay to zero by effectively controlling the offered load. The average MAC layer service delay as well as its standard deviation, is also much lower than that in saturated conditions and has an upper bound. It is also observed that the optimal load is very close to the maximum achievable throughput regardless of the number of stations or buffer size. Moreover, the model is scalable for performance analysis of 802.11e in unsaturated conditions and 802.11 ad hoc networks with heterogenous traffic flows.

This paper describes a design of AES-based CCMP(Counter mode with CBC-MAC Protocol) core for IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN security. To maximize the performance of CCMP core, two AES cores are used, one is the counter mode for data confidentiality and the other is the CBC node for authentication and data integrity. The S-box that requires the largest hardware in ARS core is implemented using composite field arithmetic, and the gate count is reduced by about 27% compared with conventional LUT(Lookup Table)-based design. The CCMP core was verified using Excalibur SoC kit, and a MPW chip is fabricated using a 0.35-um CMOS standard cell technology. The test results show that all the function of the fabricated chip works correctly. The CCMP processor has 17,000 gates, and the estimated throughput is about 353-Mbps at 116-MHz@3.3V, satisfying 54-Mbps data rate of the IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g specifications.

Wireless LAN system is evolving toward high-speed data transmission and more accurate channel estimation is necessarily required to improve communication performance. The PLCP preamble field in IEEE 802.11 based wireless MODEM consists of ten short symbols and two long symbols and is used for synchronization and channel estimation. The existing least square (LS) channel estimation is based on only two long training symbols. After estimating channel response separately by using each long training symbol, the final channel estimation is obtained by the average of each estimation. In this paper, a new channel estimation algorithm is presented to improve the performance of the existing LS channel estimation algorithm. From the fact that the short training symbol consists of 12 non-zero subcarriers, it gives us a clue of being able to additionally estimate at least one fourth of channel coefficients. The new LS algorithm performs channel estimation based on both two long training symbols and a short training symbol. The proposed LS algorithm shows a little bit performance improvement over the existing LS estimation and it will be able to be applied to the IEEE 802.11p WAVE system.

Wireless LAN (WLAN) is type of wireless service that has higher data transmission than current cellular networks. The usage is continually increasing. There are a lot of vulnerabilities in wireless network, due to the properties of the wireless environment, regardless of its popularity. IEEE announced the 802.11i security standard to solve these problems. The vulnerable point of messages used in the process of key distribution for 802.11i makes the target node attacked lose memory through continuous messages and blocks the legitimate WLAN service. In this paper, we proposed new schemes to solve this problem and compared our proposals with the current process. The proposed protocol eliminates the memory exhaustion problem on the client side by using methods for reduction of memory usage.
