Fourth-generation (4G) cellular communication systems must provide different quality-of-service (QoS) to users according to the service type, membership class, and usage case of each user. For the purpose of user's QoS differentiation, we propose an enhanced uplink random access scheme for bandwidth request. More specifically, we divide a bandwidth request channel into two parts: One is a primary region and the other is a secondary region. Then, each region has a unique minimum access class that allows only specific users to perform random access through that region. By doing so, we can reduce collision probability and increase the success probability of bandwidth request. From the perspective of standardization, we presented this scheme in the IEEE 802.16m Session #66 held on March 2010. As a result, the concept of the proposed scheme and required messages were defined in the 802.16m standard.

This paper attempts to maximize the operator's revenue while simultaneously providing a multi-constraint, multi-hop and deterministic QoS provisioning for real time traffic in IEEE 802.16m based 4G networks. The optimal solution to such a problem is NP-complete and therefore not feasible to be solved in a tolerable polynomial time. For this reason, we also provide a simple price based greedy heuristic to be used along with the admission control. Simulation results for different QoS schemes show that the heuristic produces a revenue that is very close to the optimal revenue, and is far more aggressive than the size based and other common algorithms that are computationally feasible to be implemented in IEEE 802.16m.

현재 상용화 중인 4세대 이동통신의 사용자가 급증하고 있다. 현재 4세대 이동통신 국내 가입자는 천만 명이 넘어섰으며, 4세대 이동통신에 어느 기술이 사용이 되고 데이터 전송속도가 얼마나 빠른지 알고 사용하는 사람은 많지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 4세대 이동통신에 사용되고 있는 3GPP계열의 LTE-Advanced와 와이맥스 계열의 IEEE802.16m의 데이터 전송속도 기반의 이론적인 속도값과 현재 상용화된 4세대 이동통신의 데이터 전송속도의 실제 측정값을 비교, 분석하여 상호간의 특징적 차이를 분석하는 연구를 수행하였다.

Location-aware system is utilized in various fields such as Logistics, Home Network, Healthcare, Military and Transportation systems. In this paper, we designed and implemented a Location-aware system based on IEEE 802.15.4a CSS (Chirp Spread Spectrum) technology in variable environment. The CSS is possible to precision location awareness using RF signal. According to experimental result, the implemented system has recognition error less than 0.5m within 20m radius in space.

Lawful Interception (LI) 이란 합법적인 형태의 도청을 말하며, 전통적인 Wired tapping 뿐만 아니라, 최근의 복잡해진 인터넷 및 통신환경의 여러 형태의 데이터들에 대한 감청이 포함 될 수 있다. 미국과 유럽 중심으로 개발 된 감청 표준들은 3 세대 통신망 위주의 감청을 위한 표준들이 대부분이며, 802.16e 기술중의 하나인 모바일 WiMax 를 위한 합법적 감청 표준 개발은 진행 중에 있는 실정이다. 특히, Wibro 와 같이 모바일 유닛(MU)이 Radio Access Contro (RAS)와 Access Control Router (ACR)를 자유롭게 이동하는 상황에서 패킷들에 대한 지속적인 추적은 합법적 감청 분야의 중요한 이슈 중의 하나이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 국내의 802.16e/WiBro 네트워크 사용자의 증가 및 그에 따른 보안위협 발생의 가능성 증가에 따라 합법적인 감청을 위한 효과적인 아키텍처를 제안하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 아키텍처는 802.16e/WiBro 망내의 합법적 감청을 위하여 네트워크상에서의 효과적인 감청 관련 정보 교환을 위한 기본적인 메커니즘을 포함하고 있다.

The mobile station which is about to do handover in IEEE 802.16e networks scans its neighboring base station channels to decide its next target base station. However, due to the lack of location information of its subscribers, the serving base station cannot provide any reliable candidate channel which is actually attachable by the scanning mobile stations, which makes the mobile station suffer from the long scanning time. Sometimes, long scanning time may cause the degradation of quality of service due to repeatable scan-duration or failure to start the handover procedure in time. To overcome these problems, in this paper, we propose a new protocol so called fast group scanning scheme, in which multiple mobile stations form a group to scan their neighboring base station channels simultaneously. Main contribution of this proposal is to find and decide a reliable target base station within a short scanning time. The fast group scanning scheme can be deployed to the cell network of the serving base station with a dynamic neighboring base station list management.

3GPP LTE/LTE-A and IEEE 802.16m have recently been submitted to ITU as IMT-Advanced candidates. MIMO is one of the core technologies that enable both standards to achieve the tough requirements specified by ITU. This paper provides an introduction to the core downlink MIMO features of both standards.

In this paper, we explain the operation scheme and fixed-point design method of DFE (Digital Front End), which performs DC offset compensation, automatic frequency control, and automatic gain control over the input signal to the UE (User Equipment) receiver of IEEE 802.16e OFDMA-TDD system. Then, we analyze the performance of DFE under ITU-R M. 1225 Veh-A 60km/h channel environment. To optimize the fixed-point design of DFE, we reduce the number of bit resulted from calculation without performance degradation, leading to the decreased complexity of the operation in H/W, and design the Loop filter with considering trade-off between the Acquisition time and the Stability.

The IEEE 802.1x standard provides an architectural framework which can be used various authentication methods. But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS(Denial of Service), the session hijacking and the MiM(Man in the Middle) attack due to caused by structural of authentication protocol. In this paper, we propose a WLAN system which can offer safety communication by complement of IEEE 802.1x vulnerabilities. The WLAN system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication servers, clients and the AP using PKI and prevents an illegal user from intervening in communication to disguise oneself as a client, the AP or authentication servers. Also, we guarantee the safety of the communication by the Dynamic WEP key distribution between clients and the AP.
