Commercial WiBro and 3G HSDPA services are launched last year in order to provide high speed wireless Internet access and multimedia service. Currently mobile communication service providers concentrate on the deployment of indoor mobile network since indoor traffic is remarkably increased. For fine indoor wireless communication, an installation of access point system via Public IP network which is called Femtocell is required. The development of indoor Femtocell system must be considered in the viewpoint of low hardware complexity, cost reduction, interlocking with WiBro/HSDPA network without change of network component and easy element management. In this paper, we review the implementation issue and technology of dual mode AP which provides WiBro and HSDPA signal to the user simultaneously. Especially, we describe on the HSDPA Femtocell standardization status and possible 3 types of HSDPA communication module development design. Furthermore we analyze the merits and demerits of each HSDPA Femtocell design type and propose a system which enables handover between indoor HSDPA Femtocell and outdoor commercial HSDPA mobile network.

The HIPERLAN/2(HIgh PERformance Local Area Network Type2) is one of the wireless LAN standards for providing raw data rates of up to 54 Mbps. The MAC protocol of HIPERLAN/2 is based on TDMA/TDD, and resources in one MAC frame can be allocated dynamically by Access Point(AP). The random channel(RCH) is defined for the purpose of giving a mobile terminal the opportunity to request transmission resources in the uplink MAC frames. It is desirable that the number of RCHs is dynamically adapted by the AP depending on the current traffic situation. Allocation of excessive RCHs may waste radio resources and insufficient RCHs compared to traffic loads may result in many collisions in access attempts. We propose an RCH allocation scheme based on split algorithm in HIPERLAN/2. The simulation and analytic results show that the proposed scheme achieves a higher channel throughput, lower access delay and delay jitter than previously proposed RCH allocation schemes.

Currently, Wireless LAN(WLAN) service is widely deployed to provide high speed wireless Internet access through the mobile stations such as notebook and PDA. To provide enhanced security and user access control in the public WLAN area, WLAM access points should have the capability of IEEE 802.1x-based user authentication and authorization functionality. In this paper, we provide a brief understanding of IEEE 802. 1x standards and related protocols likeEAPoL(Extended Authentication Protocol Over LAN), EAP, RADIUS and describe how the IEEE 802.1x is designed and implemented in our embedded linux-based WLAN AP which is named i-WiNG.(Intelligent Wireless Internet Gateway).

무선랜 환경에서 무선랜 단말이 AP(Access Point)사이를 로밍(Roaming)할 때 무선랜단말의 안전한 핸드오프를 위한 프로토콜로서 IAPP(InterAccess Point Protocol)가 있고 관련된 IEEE표준으로 802.11f가 있다. 무선랜단말의 안전한 핸드오프를 위해서는 IAPP를 통하여 기존에 접속되었던 AP에서 새로운 AP에게 무선랜단말의 인증 또는 과금관련 정보를 안전하게 전달하는 것이 필요하다. IEEE 802.11f에서는 무선랜단말의 핸드오프를 지원하는 액세스포인트를 인증하고 AP사이의 안전한 통신을 위한 정보를 제공하는 IAPP서버로 라디우스(RADIUS) 서버를 권고한다. 본 논문에서는 라디우스 서버의 한계를 극복하고 보다 확장성과 신뢰성이 뛰어난 서버를 위해 Diameter를 사용한 IAPP 서버의 구조와 동작에 대해서 설 명 한다.

These days wireless network devices (smartphones, tablet PC, laptop) are being utilized more frequently. In line with the increasing number of users of a wireless network, the usage of wireless access points is also increasing. Nowadays as nationwide wireless network services being made available, wireless networks are increasingly being used due to the lower costs of building faster and affordable private or carrier networks. However wireless security is not keeping up with this development. Many use open networks where anyone can join, meanwhile for those using wireless security protocols there is the problem of managing the password. In this paper, we analyze the problems of trying to build a user authentication system using an access point and the RADIUS server.

Recent advancement in RF technology and wireless communications has enabled the development of noble networks. Bluetooth that can be used in various application field is a kind of WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) standard that is widely known. Bluetooth enables voice and data applications to operate simultaneously. Various applications have been implemented based on standard Profiles. In this paper, we describes the development of Biuetooth network AP(Access Point) system for network connection of Bluetooth devices. Unlike headset, mouse, and keyboard, the access point should have capability to support multiple connection and stabilized network throughput. We have designed and developed the hardware system, core stack and profiles on embedded system to comply with standard specification. Our system showed compatibility and good protocol performance through testing with lots of products that is available in market.

Wireless LANs are becoming more widespread because of the rapid advance of wireless technologies and mobile computers. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a system to help mobile users to select the most competent AP. By monitoring the network traffic of APs within the local LAN in real time, this system offers the mobile user the network utilizations, locations, and signal strengths of APs online. Based on the information, the user can select a competent AP with a high wireless bandwidth. Finally, we verified the accuracy of monitoring and calculating with regard to the utilizations of APs through real experiments.

The application range of IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN has rapidly expanding from campus, enterprise to the public network of Hot Spot area due to the advantages of easiness of construction, mobility of wireless client station, convenience of usage and so on. However the security of WLAN(Wireless LAN) is vulnerable inherently because of using RF as a medium, and so the dangers of infringement of personal information and inside data of enterprises have increased and wardriving attack searching for security vulnerability in wireless LAN has become more serious especially. In this paper, we find out the overview of various procedures and preparatory stages for wardriving attack against wireless LAN, and propose complementary methods to prevent information infringement accidents from wardriving attack in wireless LAN. For this purpose, we make an equipment which is suitable for wardriving in wireless LAN and show security vulnerability of AP(Access Point) operation in WLAN around Yangjae-Dong in Seoul as a result of using the equipment.

Communication systems beyond 3G should provide more than 100 Mbps for wireless access. In addition to smart antennas, wireless multi-hop networks are proposed to increase the cell size and throughput. For example, Zigbee technology is expected to provide low cost and low power connectivity and can be implemented in wireless mesh networks larger than is possible with Bluetooth. Also, home embedded system using wireless mesh network is one of the key market areas for Zigbee applications. If the line-of-sight path is shadowed by home obstacles, a direct connection between the access point (AP) and the node is not possible at high frequencies. Therefore, by using multi-hop relay scheme the end node can be reached to AP. In this paper, the relaying of data between the AP and the end node is investigated and the throughput and PER(Packet Error Rate) are evaluated in multi-hop wireless mesh networks by using DSSS/BPSK system.

A Wireless Lan has an importance of access control, because we can use wireless Internet via AP(Access Point). Moreover, to use wireless LAN, we will go through authentication process of EAP. DoS(Denial of Service) attack is one of the fatal attack about these AP access and authentication process. That is, if malicious attacker keeps away access of AP or consumes memory of server and calculation ability of CPU and etc. compulsorily in authentication process, legal user can't get any services. In this paper, we presents the way of protection against the each attack that is classified into access control, allocation of resource, attack on authentication protocol. The first thing, attack to access control, is improved by pre-verification and the parameter of security level. The second, attack of allocation of resource, is done by partial stateless protocol. And the weak of protocol is done by time-stamp and parameter of access limitation.
