  • As ship-based tourism increases, safe sailing and management are necessary to prevent maritime accidents. Because external rescue support cannot arrive rapidly in the case of ship-related accidents, the initial response is very important for damage minimization. Further, for secondary damage prevention, it is necessary to accurately determine passenger positions. In this paper, considering the characteristics of a ship, the enhanced-Zigbee(e-Zigbee) position determination technology (PDT) is applied, which improved upon the Zigbee PDT by having advantages such as low power consumption and smaller size. According to user needs, a low-cost and high-precision passenger positioning tag and access point(AP) is provided. A ship testbed that yields improved positioning accuracy based on a performance evaluation is constructed.

  • By providing ubiquitous Internet connectivity, wireless networks offer more convenient ways for users to surf the Internet. However, wireless networks encounter more technological challenges than wired networks, such as bandwidth, security problems, and handoff latency. Thus, this paper proposes new technologies to solve these problems. First, a Security Access Gateway (SAG) is proposed to solve the security issue. Originally, mobile terminals were unable to process high security calculations because of their low calculating power. SAG not only offers high calculating power to encrypt the encryption demand of SAG's domain, but also helps mobile terminals to establish a multiple safety tunnel to maintain a secure domain. Second, Robust Header Compression (RoHC) technology is adopted to increase the utilization of bandwidth. Instead of Access Point (AP), Access Gateway (AG) is used to deal with the packet header compression and de-compression from the wireless end. AG's high calculating power is able to reduce the load on AP. In the original architecture, AP has to deal with a large number of demands by header compression/de-compression from mobile terminals. Eventually, wireless networks must offer users "Mobility" and "Roaming". For wireless networks to achieve "Mobility" and "Roaming," we can use Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) technology. Nevertheless, such technology might cause latency. Furthermore, how the security tunnel and header compression established before the handoff can be used by mobile terminals handoff will be another great challenge. Thus, this paper proposes to solve the problem by using Early Binding Updates (EBU) and Security Access Gateway (SAG) to offer a complete mechanism with low latency, low handoff mechanism calculation, and high security.

  • In this paper, we propose a grouping technique for the SDD(Synchronous Digital Duplexing) based on OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). The SDD has advantages of increasing data efficiency and flexibility of resource since SDD can transmit uplink signals and downlink signals simultaneously by using mutual time information and mutual channel information, obtained during mutual ranging process. However, the SDD has a disadvantage of requiring additional CS to maintain orthogonality of OFDMA symbols when the sum of mutual time difference and mutual channel length between AP(access point) and SS(subscriber station) or among SSs are larger than CP length. In order to minimize the length of CS for the case of requiring additional CS in SDD, we proposes a grouping technique which controls transmit timing and receive timing of AP and SS in a cell by classifying them into groups. Performances of the proposed grouping technique are evaluated by computer simulation.

  • 현재 무선 랜 기반의 WMN은 도심지와 같은 통화량이 많은 지역('핫존')에서 서비스 되고 있다. 다수 핫존을 서비스하는 엑세스 포인트(AP)별로 인터넷 망에 유선 접속할 경우, 망 접속 비용이 높지만, WMN 기술을 이용하면 핫존별로 산재한 트래픽의 집중을 통해 자원을 대폭 줄일 수 있다. 또한, IEEE 802.11 표준은 가용한 채널이 다양한 직교주파수로 되어있어 IEEE 802.11b에서는 2.4GHz에서 간섭 없는 3개의 채널을 제공하고 IEEE 802.11a는 5GHz에서 간섭 없는 12개의 채널을 제공한다. 근접한 access point (AP)주변에는 다른 채널을 할당함으로써 근접한 AP사이에서의 간섭을 막을 수 있다. IEEE 802.11 표준은 동시 사용에 1개의 채널만 사용하게 되어있어 가용한 채널을 동시에 간섭 없이 사용함으로써 전체적인 throuput을 증대 시킬 수 있어 IEEE 802.11 표준 기반의 MAC 프로토콜의 수정만으로 상, 하 레이어의 수정 없이 향상된 멀티채널을 위한 MAC 프로토콜을 제시한다.

  • 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.

  • HiperLAN Type2에서의 MAC 프로토콜은 TDMA/TDD을 기반으로 하며, 무선채널은 중앙제어방식으로 운영되는 AP(Access Point)에 의해서 할당된다. 상향링크로 데이터 전송이 필요한 이동단말은 RCH 채널을 통하여 AP에게 무선자원을 요청한다. 각 MAC 프레임마다 RCH 수를 동적으로 변경하는 것이 중요한데, RCH 수가 많이 할당되면 무선자원의 낭비를 초래하며, RCH 수가 적게 할당되면 이동단말간의 충돌이 증가하고 AP에 접속하는 시간도 길어진다. 따라서 RCH 수는 트래픽에 따라 적절하게 할당되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 HiperLAN/2에서의 성능향상을 위해 충돌과 성공을 고려하여 RCH(Random CHannel)수를 고정적인 ${\beta}$값만큼 증감하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법의 효율성을 입증하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 처리율과 접속지연 관점에서 분석하였다.

  • Optimal position of access point (AP) is important for multi-gigabit wireless transmission in terahertz (THz) wireless local area network (WLAN)-type applications, where there exist the THz characteristic multiple clusters in channel propagation. By considering the multiple clusters in THz indoor communications, this paper investigates the optimal AP position when two APs are issued for increasing the system capacity. Numerical results reveal that the central position of each AP within each half service region, which offers the shortest cumulated path length for line-of-sight paths, is optimal to achieve the maximal system capacity.

  • 최근 무선 인터넷 기술의 발달과 보급으로 인해 실생활에서도 쉽게 무선 네트워크를 이용한 통신을 할 수 있게 되었다. 무선 네트워크를 이용한 통신을 위해선 통신 망을 유지해 주는 AP(Access Point)가 필수적이다. 이러한 AP를 활용한 AP의 신호 세기를 이용하는 실내 위치 측위 기술은 위치 기반 서비스의 발달과 함께 주목 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 실내 위치 측위에 많이 사용되는 삼각측량법을 개선하기 위해 다수의 무선 네트워크 인터페이스를 사용한다. 최근에는 하나의 디바이스에 여러 개의 무선 인터페이스가 장착되는 것이 보편화 되었는데 이러한 여러 개의 인터페이스를 활용하여 실내 위치 측위 값을 보정하였다. 실험 결과, 2개의 모듈을 사용할 때의 결과가 1개의 모듈을 사용했을 때 보다 평균 4.9% 좋은 성능을 보였다.

  • Reinforcement learning is an area of machine learning that studies how an intelligent agent takes actions in a given environment to maximize the cumulative reward. In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol based on the Q-learning technique of reinforcement learning to improve the performance of the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN CSMA/CA MAC protocol. Furthermore, the operation of each access point (AP) and station is proposed. The AP adjusts the value of the contention window (CW), which is the range for determining the backoff number of the station, according to the wireless traffic load. The station improves the performance by selecting an optimal backoff number with the lowest packet collision rate and the highest transmission success rate through Q-learning within the CW value transmitted from the AP. The result of the performance evaluation through computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme has a higher throughput than that of the existing CSMA/CA scheme.
