Low power consumption sensor network platform (sensor node) for sensor networking with IEEE 802.15.4 protocol was fabricated. The sensor node used ceramic bar type antenna for increasing RF signal performance and decreasing PCB size occupied by antenna. The communication range of the fabricated sensor node was about $20{\sim}30$ m in open environment with 915 MHz frequency bandwidth and well supported by Tiny OS. The sensor node have good connectivity with various external devices by RS-232, I2C, analogue and digital expansion board, hence, this sensor node can be applied to various applications in wireless sensor network and ubiquitous sensor network.

In this paper, an analytic model of sleep model operation in the IEEE 802.16e is investigated. A mobile subscribe. station (MSS) goes to sleep mode after negotiations with the base station (BS) and wakes up periodically for a short interval to check whether there is downlink traffic to it. If the arrival of traffic is notified, an MSS returns to wake mode. Otherwise, it again enters increased sleep interval which is double as the previous one. In order to consider the situation more practically, we propose the sleep mode starting threshold, during which MSS should await packets before it enters the sleep mode. By modifying the M/G/1 with multiple vacations model, energy consumption ratio(ECR) and average packet response time are calculated. Our analytic model provides potential guidance in determining the optimal parameters values such as sleep mode starting threshold, minimal sleep and maximal sleep window.

This paper presents transmission parameters of DH(Dog-Horse) systems based on IEEE802.16e(WiBro) systems. DH requires higher uplink multimedia data rate, which is different from commercial WiBro systems. This paper designes some transmission parameters satisfying the DH system requirements and demonstrates link performance evaluation based on the parameters. For the transmission parameters, the number dwon/up link OFDM symbols are determined by 6/30, respectively. For reliable transmission of control signals, downlink modulation and coding rate are selected by QPSK, 1/2 coding rate and that of uplink is chosen by 16QAM 1/2 and 3/4 coding rate. Based on these parameters, computer simulations demonstrate the system performance of DH system.

Simple-relay aided resource allocation (SRARA) schemes are incorporated with throughput guarantee scheduling (TGS) in IEEE 802.16 type TDD-OFDMA downlink to enhance service coverage, where the amount of resources at each relay is limited due to either its available power which is much smaller than base station (BS) power or the required overhead The performance of SRARA schemes is evaluated with both proportional fair (PF) and TGS schedulers at 64 kbps and 128 kbps user throughput requirements. For SRARA with RSs of relatively lower power, a scheme putting total power into only one subchannel shows larger coverage than when both subchnnels are used in a manner of equal power allocation, while the RS with evenly power-allocated two subchannels could provide larger coverage gain for a relatively higher power. In a lower target (64kbps), more improvement comes from relay scheme rather than scheduler design. For a relatively higher level (128 kbps), it comes from scheduler design rather than relay.

This paper describes a multi-standard LDPC decoder which supports 19 block lengths(576~2304) and 6 code rates(1/2, 2/3A, 2/3B, 3/4A, 3/4B, 5/6) of IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX standard and 3 block lengths(648, 1296, 1944) and 4 code rates(1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6) of IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard. To minimize hardware complexity, it adopts a block-serial (partially parallel) architecture based on the layered decoding scheme. A DFU(decoding function unit) based on sign-magnitude arithmetic is used for hardware reduction. The designed LDPC decoder is verified by FPGA implementation, and synthesized with a 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS cell library. It has 312,000 gates and 70,000 bits RAM. The estimated throughput is about 79~210 Mbps at 100 MHz@1.8v.

본 논문에서는 무선 멀티 홉 네트워크에서 시스템 성능을 높이기 위한 효율적인 핸드오버 결정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 핸드오버 결정에 대한 연구들은 대부분 싱글 홉 환경에서 이루어졌고, 802.16 환경에서 중요한 이슈가 되는 사용자의 QoS 요구를 고려하지 않고 있다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 기지국(BS)으로의 전송 시간을 기준으로 하는 경로 결정 방법과 전송 시간, 사용자의 QoS 요구, 기지국의 트래픽 로드를 입력 값으로 하는 퍼지 로직 기반(Fuzzy Logic based)의 핸드오버 알고리즘을 포함한다. 제안하는 핸드오버 결정 알고리즘은 802.16j 환경의 특성을 고려하였으며, 기존의 SINR 기반의 방식에 비해 전송 시간, 세션 당 핸드오버 횟수, 전송 끊김 횟수가 5%~30% 향상되는 결과를 가진다.

The main issues of the researches are monitoring environment such as weather or temperature variation and natural accident, and sensor gateways which have mobile device, applications for mobile health care. In this paper, we propose the SFMS(Smart Factory Management System) that can effectively monitor and manage a green smart factory area based on M2M service and smart phone with android OS platform. The proposed system is performed based on the TinyOS-based IEEE 802.15.4 protocol stack. To validate system functionality, we built sensor network environments where were equipped with four application sensors such as Temp/Hum, PIR, door, and camera sensor. We also built and tested the SFMS system to provide a novel model for event detection systems with smart phone.

Wireless mobile networks that exploit generalized PF scheduling can dynamically allocate network resources by using scheduling parameters. There are limitations to predict throughputs by the conventional stochastic approach in general. Moreover the limitations make it difficult to find appropriate scheduling parameters for achieving the demanded throughputs. This paper derives a prediction algorithm that predicts throughputs of the networks by using deterministic approach. A throughput adjust algorithm and a throughput switching algorithm are derived from the prediction algorithm. The performance of the throughput prediction/switching algorithms is evaluated by a simulator based on IEEE 802.16m system.

Heterogeneous cellular networks support various wireless environments for mobile service. Recently, data services as well as voice services are exponentially increased in cellular networks and the technical transition of LTE-A and IEEE 802.16m so that more base stations are requested to provide suitable service. Base stations consume most of energy in cellular networks, and the energy saving is needed for the base station. In this paper, we propose a saving power scheme by the dynamic energy management. In this paper we consider the simulation evaluations of handover for the low powered base station.
