In this paper, the performances of the IEEE 802.15.4 under the IEEE 802.11b interference are compared under two kinds of channel sensing mechanisms: carrier sense (CS) and energy detection (ED). For each channel sensing mechanism, the average transmission delay, and the throughput are used as performance measures.

인증(Authentication)과 암호화 키(Key) 운용 방법론은 통신 서비스 고려시 소홀할 수 없는 중요한 문제이다. 현재 가장 널리 보급되어 사용중인 IEEE 802.11 기술에서도 이와 같은 보안 지원에 문제가 있음이 명백히 드러나고 있다. 포트 컨트롤을 통하여 접속 지점에서부터 통신을 제어하는 IEEE 802.1X는 이를 위한 적절한 보안 해결책이 되고 있고, IEEE 802.11 WGi는 802.1X를 기초로 하는 RSN(Robust Security Network)울 위한 표준화가 진행중이다. 그러나 IEEE 802.1X 프레임워크에서 상호 인증과, 키 분배 및 갱신 정책은 채택하는 인증 프로토콜에 강하게 의존하는 약점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 UMTS 보안 아키텍처의 인증 토큰(Authentication Token)을 추가하여 IEEE 802.1X 프레임워크에 상호 인증 및 키 갱신 구조를 포함하도록 하였다.

This paper proposes a technique for improving IEEE 802.11e EDCA's performance by dynamically adjusting each class's contention window size based on each class's traffic amount. For providing differentiated service differently from 802.11, 802.11e EDCA maintains four classes each of which specifies different static minimum and maximum contention window sizes. Since the initial window sites significantly affect the 802.11e performance, several window adjustment schemes have been proposed. One of the schemes known as CWminAS (CWmin Adaptation Scheme) dynamically and synchronously determines the four windows' site based on the periodically measured collision rate. This method, however, can lower the send probability of high priority classes since it can't differentiate their collisions from those of low priority classes, leading to the channel underutilization. For solving this problem, we propose ACATICT(Adaptive Contention-window Adjustment Technique based on Individual Class Traffic) algorithm which adapts each class window size based on each individual collision rate rather than one average collision rate. Our simulation experiments show that ACATICT achieves better utilization by around 10% at maximum.

The IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function(DCF) protocol provides a contention-based distribution channel access mechanism for stations to share the wireless medium. However, the performance of the DCF drops dramatically in terms of throughput, delay and delay jitter as the number of active stations becomes large. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective scheme, called DCF/VG(Distributed Coordination Function with Virtual Group), for improving the performance of the IEEE 802.11 DCF mechanism. In this scheme, each station independently decides the virtual group cycle using the information provided by the carrier sensing mechanism. The virtual group cycle consists of one or more virtual groups and a virtual group includes an idle period and a busy period. Each station operates in only one out of several virtual groups of the virtual group cycle and does not operate in the others. In other words, each station decreases its backoff counter and tries to transmit a packet only in its virtual group like the IEEE 802.11 DCF. Performance of the proposed scheme is investigated by numerical analysis and simulation. Numerical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme is very effective and has high throughput and low delay and jitter under a wide range of contention level.

UWB radio systems have drawn attention during the last few years. These systems are the core technique for ubiquitous home and enable to co-exist with other narrow band systems over the same frequency without interfering them. But UWB signals have a very low power per pulse, so they are affected by strong narrow band interferences. Specially, IEEE 802.11a systems which operate around 5GHz overlap the band of UWB signals and they will interfere with UWB systems significantly. In this paper, we propose a novel narrow band interference suppression method based on singular value decomposition(SVD) algorithm for DS-UWB in IEEE 802.15.4a channel model. The proposed method is very effective and robust for both a single user DS-UWB system and a multiuser DS-UWB system to reduce the narrow band interference.

Wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standard are widely spread for use nowadays. Traffic which are conveyed over the WLANs change rapidly from normal data such as Email and Web pages, to multimedia data of high resolution video and voice. To meet QoS (Quality of Service) required by these multimedia traffic, the IEEE 802 committee recently has developed a new standard, IEEE 802.11e. Current IEEE 802.11e, however, is not sufficient to support service differentiations and network performance enhancements, under a varying network environment experiencing as varying channel characteristics and high network loads. Recently, there have been much research to complement this deficiency of 802.11e standard. This paper surveys these research efforts.

In this paper, we propose a timing synchronization scheme and its hardware architecture of the next generation IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN standard which is based on MIMO-OFDM technique. Proposed timing synchronization method takes two steps which consist of two modified auto-correlators. For coarse timing synchronization, a sliding window differentiator is used after a conventional auto-correlation in order to avoid plateau problem. The conjugate symmetry property of L-LTS is utilized for the simplification of fine timing synchronization. Since cross-correlation based methods are not required, the computational complexity and the number of multipliers can be reduced. In order to reduce the hardware complexity, we have used sign multipliers. Based on simulation results, the proposed method outperforms a conventional method. The proposed scheme can be applied to IEEE 802.11n systems and can easily be expanded to frequency synchronization scheme.

To apply Wi-Fi technique to the Broadcast field, we have to study features of IEEE 802.11 Broadcast packet. IEEE 802.11 Broadcast technique cannot guarantee successful packet delivery than IEEE 802.11 Unicast. A promising solution to this problem is the use of FEC(Forward Error Correction) mechanisms. However, the adjustment of the FEC redundancy rate is not a trivial issue due to the dynamic wireless environment. In order to explore the above issues we conducted an experimental study of the packet loss behavior of the IEEE 802.11g protocol. In order to study, we implemented a broadcast test bed. Based on the experimental results, we provide guidelines on wireless lan parameters(packet size, transmission rate(11g), background traffic). From this experimental study, we provide FEC redundancy rate.
