The implementation of IEEE 802.15.6 in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is contention based. Meanwhile, IEEE 802.15.4 MAC provides limited 16 channels in the Superframe structure, making it unfit for N heterogeneous nature of patient's data. Also, the Beacon-enabled Carrier-Sense Multiple Access/Collision-Avoidance (CSMA/CA) scheduling access scheme in WBAN, allocates Contention-free Period (CAP) channels to emergency and non-emergency Biomedical Sensors (BMSs) using contention mechanism, increasing repetition in rounds. This reduces performance of the MAC protocol causing higher data collisions and delay, low data reliability, BMSs packet retransmissions and increased energy consumption. Moreover, it has no traffic differentiation method. This paper proposes a Low-delay Traffic-Aware Medium Access Control (LTA-MAC) protocol to provide sufficient channels with a higher bandwidth, and allocates them individually to non-emergency and emergency data. Also, a Contention Differentiated Adaptive Slot Allocation CSMA-CA (CDASA-CSMA/CA) for scheduling access scheme is proposed to reduce repetition in rounds, and assists in channels allocation to BMSs. Furthermore, an On-demand (OD) slot in the LTA-MAC to resolve the patient's data drops in the CSMA/CA scheme due to exceeding of threshold values in contentions is introduced. Simulation results demonstrate advantages of the proposed schemes over the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and CSMA/CA scheme in terms of success rate, packet delivery delay, and energy consumption.

The superframe structure of IEEE 802.15.4, an international standard for low rate WPAN, is composed of CAP(Contention access period) and CFP(Contention free period). CAP is the contention-based access period, while CFP is contention-free access period for supporting QoS by allocating fixed bandwidth. The standard can support QoS for only a few devices, because the maximum number of GTSs is 7. Furthermore, as the value of BO (Beacon order) or SO (Superframe order) increases, the size of a time slot increases. This makes it difficult to precisely allocate bandwidth for any device, because the bandwidth is allocated by the unit of GTS. The proposed scheme of this paper can reduce the waste of BW in CFP by adaptively reducing the size of a time slot in CFP as the value of BO or SO increases and increase the number of GTSs to 127 by modifying the standard. The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme can dramatically increase the bandwidth utilization during the CFP when comparing with IEEE 802.15.4.

VBR compressed, pre-recorded video is known to exhibit significant, multiple time-scale bit rate variability. To reduce the variability and burstiness of the aggregated transmission rate as low as possible, in this paper, we present an adaptive bandwidth smoothing algorithm, that can be effectively applicalble for VoD services over a shared-medium channel. For these environments where many clients are connected to a single server, by introducing the conventional MVBA(minimum variability bandwidth allocation) algorithm and controlling adaptively the conventional MVBA(minimum variability bandwidth asllocation) algorithm and controlling adaptively the aggregated transmission rate whenever a new clients request is arrived at the server side, the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the burstiness and variability of the aggregated transmission rate. Through computer experiments, it is shown that the proposed method perporms better than the convertional non-aggregated bandwidth smoothing schemes in terms of the peak rate, standard deviation, number of rate changes for the aggregated traffic.

In wireless networking environments, supporting guaranteed quality of service to mobile hosts is difficult due to the facts that wireless networks have limited bandwidth and mobile hosts frequently move in and out of cells. In spite of the characteristics of wireless communications, the quality of some types of services, i.e., real-time services, must be guaranteed at a certain level. When a mobile host moves into another cell, service rates for mobile hosts in wireless networks may be adjusted since wireless networks have limited bandwidths. In this paper, we propose two resource allocation algorithms in wireless mobile networks, using quality of service (QoS) specifications. For efficient use of resources of wireless networks, the proposed algorithms dynamically allocate rates of flows in proportion to QoS with limited resources.

ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) 망은 사용자의 요구에 의해 대역폭을 할당한 수 있으므로 전송에 필요한 대역폭이 수시로 변화하는 MPEG 비디오를 전송하는데 적합하다. 그러나 MPEG 트래픽(traffic)은 셀(cell) 발생량의 변화가 심한 군집성 (burst)이 큰 트래픽 이기에 전송 품질을 유지하면서 동시에 망의 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하는 전송을 구현하기가 매우 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 상반되는 두 가지의 목적을 수행하기 위하여 새로운 대역폭 할당 기법을 제안하였다. 사용자에게 최소한의 품질을 보장하면서 망에 대역폭의 여유가 있는 경우 고품질의 서비스가 가능토록 하는 방안으로 ATM 망의 CBR(Constant Bit Rate) 서비스와 VBR(Variable Bit Rate) 서비스를 복합적으로 사용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이의 구현을 위하여 2 계층 구조의 MPEG 부호화기를 설계, 구현하였고 모의 실험을 통하여 기존의 단일 계층 CBR 서비스에 비하여 품질과 망의 효율성에 있어 충분히 우수함을 확인하여 그 효용성을 증명하였다.

최근 인터넷을 통한 UHD (Ultra High Definition) 스트리밍 서비스의 수요가 증가했으며 네트워크에 효율적으로 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 위해 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍 (HTTP Adaptive Streaming, HAS) 서비스가 등장하였다. 그러나 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍은 세그먼트의 ON-OFF 패턴으로 인해 다중 클라이언트 환경에서 공정성 (Fairness), 안정성 (Stability), 효율성 (Efficiency)을 저하시키는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 HAS 클라이언트 환경에서 공정성, 안정성, 효율성을 향상시키기 위한 홈 공유기에서 인코딩 비트율 기반의 대역폭 할당 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 OFF 구간을 줄이기 위해 인코딩 비트율에 맞추어 할당할 대역폭을 결정함으로써 안정적인 스트리밍을 보장한다. 실험을 통해 다중 HAS 클라이언트 환경에서 공정성, 안정성 및 효율성이 향상된 것을 확인하였다.

The wireless communication based on LDPC and adaptive spatial-subcarrier coded modulation using MQAM for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless transmission by using instantaneous channel state information and employing multiple antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver. Adaptive coded modulation is a promising idea for bandwidth-efficient transmission on time-varying, narrowband wireless channels. On power limited Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels, low density parity check (LDPC) codes are a class of error control codes which have demonstrated impressive error correcting qualities, under some conditions performing even better than turbo codes. The paper demonstrates OFDM with LDPC and adaptive modulation applied to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. An optimization algorithm to obtain a bit and power allocation for each subcarrier assuming instantaneous channel knowledge is used. The experimental results are shown the potential of our proposed system.

The bandwidth of channel and the power of the mobile devices are limited on a wireless environment. In this case, data broadcast has become an excellent technique for efficient data dissemination. A significant amount of researches have been done on generating an efficient broadcast program of a set of data items with different access frequencies over multiple wireless broadcast channels as well as single wireless broadcast channel. In this paper, an efficient data allocation method over multiple wireless broadcasting channels is explored. In the traditional approaches, a set of data items are partitioned into a number of channel based on their access probabilities. However, these approaches ignore a variation of access probabilities of data items allocated in each channel. In practice, it is difficult to have many broadcast channels and thus each channel need to broadcast many data items. Therefore, if a set of data items broadcast in each channel have different repetition frequencies based on their access frequencies, it will give much better performance than the traditional approaches. In this paper, we propose an adaptive data allocation technique based on data access probabilities over multiple broadcast channels. Our proposed technique allows the adaptation of repetition frequency of each data item within each channel by taking its access probabilities into at count.

In this paper, we have proposed WiBro receiver structure employing joint adaptive antenna scheme at the base station (BS) and the mobile station (MS) and evaluated its performance. In WiBro system, the joint use of transmit beamforming at BS and receive beamforming at MS can improve the SINR significantly and increase the capacity compared to the conventional system. Moreover, power allocation level can be decreased because channel variation can be reduced by using the jointly updated weight. However, it needsthe calculation of the antenna weights in every subcarrier for performance improvement. This could imply an enormous computational burden. However, the computational complexity can be reduced significantly by using the same set of the antenna weights for the adjacent subcarriers instead of calculating antenna weights for every subcarrier. We have analyzed the impact of subcarrier grouping for weight calculation on the system performance.

Visible light communication (VLC) using optical sources which can be simultaneously utilized for illumination and communication is currently an attractive option for wireless personal area network. Improving the data rate in optical wireless communication system is challenging due to the limited bandwidth of the optical sources. In this paper, we design the singular value decomposition (SVD)-based multiplexing multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system to support two data streams in optical wireless channels. In order to improve the spectral efficiency, the rate adaptation using multi-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) is applied according to the channel condition and we propose the method to allocate the optical power, the offset and the size of modulation scheme theoretically under the constraints of the nonnegativity of the modulated signals, the aggregate optical power and the bit error rate (BER) requirement. The simulation results show that the proposed allocation method gives the better performance than the method to allocate the optical power equally for each data stream.
