Lawful interception (LI) involves legally accessing private communication such as telephone calls or email messages. Numerous countries have been drafting and enacting laws concerning the LI procedures. With the proliferation of portable Internet services such as the IEEE 802.16e wireless mobile networks, surveillance over illegal users is an emerging technical issue in LI. The evermigrating users and their changing IP's make it harder to provide support for seamless LI procedures on 802.16e networks. Few studies, however, on seamless LI support have been conducted on the 802.16e mobile networks environments. Proposed in this paper are a seamless LI architecture and algorithms for the 802.16e networks. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed architecture improves recall rates in intercepting mobile user, when compared to the existing LI architectures.

To enhance the performance of the IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access system, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the radio link. The efficiency of the uplink can be improved by using more efficient random access method. As new random access methods, we propose a RA_NBRM method which is based on the number of bandwidth request messages and a RA_CRA method which is based on the conflict resolution algorithm. The simulation results show that the performance of the new methods is superior to that of the existing binary exponential backoff method.

With the growth of the internet, the number of wireless internet users has increased continuously up to date. However, mobile communications could not support high speed transmission rate with cheap communication fee and wireless LAN has problems in providing terminal mobility and wide area connectivity, respectively. So the WMAN standard has been newly designed to make up for these limits. The initial 802.16 specification effectively offers a solution for providing fixed users with high speed wireless communication but it does not offer terminal mobility. So the 802.16d and 802.16e have been developed as the next generation solution that can support various PHY layer (SC, SCa, OFDM, OFDMA) and offer the terminal mobility. In this paper, we propose an effective uplink scheduling algorithm for VoIP with using UGS, and we show that our proposed algorithm is superior in view of average delay and management of uplink bandwidth to conventional rtPS algorithm and the scheme in reference, with using NS-2 network simulator.

The rapid growth of the mobile Internet has enabled its application area to expand, and its users want services that require more bandwidth for multimedia services. There are limits to support the various multimedia service to mobile station provided by existing mobile communications. The wireless MAN called the IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access systems which the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is similar to wireline Internet service being able to supper a various contents is used and is designed to consider a handoff is studying. Especially, TG(Task Group)e of IEEE 802.16 is in progress discussion to support a handoff to higher layer using BS(Base Station) or unit of sector, to UC. Yet a scheme is not detail. This thesis proposes the network model for IEEE 802.16e to support a soft handoff between BSs to use a mobile communication network called cdma2000 Ix EV-DO network. The proposed network model supports soft handoff to add a management skill in MA of each BS for MC(Mobility Controller). The proposed network model has merits that is able to apply existing systems as it is and that is able to use a various multimedia service, when using a wireless Internet.

It is easy to install and maintain a mobile multi-hop wireless network due to its self-organizing characteristics. However it has security weakness of the authentication of mobile multi-hop relay stations. Specially, the mobile multi-hop relay network in the IEEE 802.16j has the additional security weakness caused by the requirement of backward compatibility for mobile stations of the conventional IEEE 802.16 system. In this paper, we propose a novel mutual authentication scheme applicable to IEEE 802.16j-based mobile multi-hop relay network architecture. The scheme is able to resolve the initial trust gain problem of a multi-hop node at its entry to the network, the problem of rogue mobile multi-hop node and the problem of hop-by-hop authentication between multi-hop nodes. Effectively, the scheme is a hybrid scheme of the distributed authentication method and the centralized authentication method which have been considered to be deployed in the wireless ad-hoc network and the wireless network connected to wired authentication servers, respectively. Also, we analyze the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid authentication method.

The workgroup of IEEE 802 proposed the IEEE 802.16 standard, also known as WiMAX, to provide broadband wireless access (BWA). The standard specifies two operational modes, one is popular PMP mode, and the other is optional mesh mode. In the mesh mode, the network entry process-NetEntry is the pivotal procedure for mesh network topology formulation and thus, influences the accessibility of whole mesh network. Unfortunately, the NetEntry process suffers from the hidden neighbor problem, in which new neighborship emerges after a new node comes in and results in possible collisions. In this paper, we propose a new SN-protected NetEntry process to address the problem. Simulation results show that the new proposed NetEntry process is more stable compared with the standard-based NetEntry process.

In this paper, we develop radio resource management queueing model in IEEE 802.IS networks considering both connection and packet level. In the upper level connection, we model connection admission control depending on availability of bandwidth and priority queue in each service class. In the lower level packet, we model dynamic bandwidth allocation considering threshold and availability of bandwidth in each service class simultaneously. Hierarchical model is built using an extended Petri Nets, SRN (Stochastic Reward Nets). Bandwidth utilization and normal throughput as performance index for all service classes of traffic are calculated and numerical results are obtained.

In this paper, we propose and analyze the optimized sleep mode for a mobile node (MN) in IEEE 802.16e wireless metropolitan area networks. Because a MN in a sleep mode specified in 802.16e specification should maintain state information with the base station currently attached, it must renew sleep state with a new base station after handover which leads to unnecessary waste of battery power. Noting that the mobility pattern of a MN is independent of call arrival patterns, we propose an optimized sleep mode to eliminate unnecessary standby period of a MN in sleep state after handover. We also propose an analytical model for the proposed scheme in terms of power consumption and the initial call response time. Simulation studies that compare the performance between the sleep mode and the optimized sleep mode show that our scheme marginally increases initial call response delay with the huge reduction in power consumption.

In this paper, the modified iterative decoding algorithm[8] by partitioning check nodes is applied to low-density parity-check(LDPC) codes in IEEE 802.16e standards, which gives us the improvement for convergence speed of decoding. Also, the new method of check node partitioning which is suitable for decoding of the LDPC codes in IEEE 802.16e system is proposed. The improvement of convergence speed in decoding reduces the number of iterations and thus the computational complexity of the decoder. The decoding method by partitioning check nodes can be applied to the LDPC codes whose decoder cannot be implemented in the fully parallel processing as an efficient sequential processing method. The modified iterative decoding method of LDPC codes using the proposed check node partitioning method can be used to implement the practical decoder in the wireless communication systems.

IEEE 802.16e standard defines different Sleep Mode Operations according to kind of services which aims at saving energy for MS efficiently. The previous study of Sleep Mode Operation is limited for single service environment, real sleep interval is decreased because different Sleep Mode Operations are applied at once when MS is on multi service. The proposed Enhanced Sleep Mode Operation increasing real sleep interval of this paper guarantees QoS(Quality of Services) which is same as standard, minimizes energy consumption when different Sleep Mode Operations are applied at once. Therefore Enhanced Sleep Mode Operation of this paper will be useful in case of increase battery life time as well as guaranteeing QoS for MS in IEEE 802.16 system.
