In this paper, authors have been evaluated the Frame Error Rate (FER) performance of IEEE 802.11 a/g/p standard 5 GHz frequency band WLAN over Rayleigh and Rician distributed fading channels in presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based transceiver is implemented by using real-time signal processing frameworks (IEEE 802.11 Blocks) in GNU Radio Companion (GRC) and Ettus USRP N200 is used to process the symbol over the wireless radio channel. The FER is calculated for each sub-carrier conventional modulation schemes used by OFDM such as BPSK, QPSK, 16, 64-QAM with different punctuated coding rates. More precise SNR is computed by modifying the SNR calculation process of YANS and NIST error rate model to estimate more accurate FER. Here, real-time signal constellations, OFDM signal spectrums etc. are also observed to find the effect of multipath propagation of signals through flat and frequency selective fading channels. To reduce the error rate due to the multipath fading effect and Doppler shifting, channel estimation (CE) and equalization techniques such as Least Square (LS) and training based adaptive Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm are applied in the receiver. The simulation work is practically verified at GRC by turning into a pair of Software Define Radio (SDR) as a simultaneous transceiver.

OFDM(A) 기반 네트워크는 IEEE 802.16e 시스템 및 WiBro 시스템 등으로 구현되고 있으며, 4G 시스템과 같은 차세대 이동통신 시스템의 기반 기술로서 많이 연구되고 있는 시스템이다. 이와 같은 OFDM(A) 시스템을 기반으로 IP 네트워크를 구축하게 된다면, 단말의 핸드오버를 지원하기 위하여 MAC 및 IP 계층에서의 핸드오버 기법에 대한 정의가 필요하다. IP 네트워크의 가장 큰 특징은 CDMA와 같은 서킷 네트워크가 아니라 패킷 네트워크라는 것이다. 이러한 패킷기반 네트워크에서의 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 CDMA 네트워크에서 제공되고 있는 소프트 핸드오버 기법을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. CDMA 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 물리계층에서의 신호 결합을 수행하게 되는데 패킷 네트워크에서 두 기지국으로부터 전송되는 패킷은 MAC 및 IP 헤더를 가지게 되고, 헤더에 포함되는 정보는 각 기지국에서 서로 다르게 전송하므로 물리계층에서의 신호 결합을 수행할 수가 없다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 소프트 핸드오버 기법의 단점을 보완하고 IP 기반 네트워크에 적용 가능한 소프트 핸드오버 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 패킷 네트워크의 특성을 반영하여 소프트 핸드오버에 참여하는 기지국이 서로 다른 패킷을 전송하도록 디자인하였고, 에러 발생률을 낮추기 위하여 AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) 기법을 적용하였다. 또한 OFDM(A) 시스템의 multi-carrier 특성을 이용하여 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 사용함으로써 네트워크의 전체적인 성능 향상이 가능하도록 개발되었다.

In this paper, a joint PHY-MAC layer optimized resource allocation scheme for OFDMA based micro base stations is investigated. We propose cross-layer optimized two-stage resource allocation scheme including cross-layer functional description and control information flow between PHY-MAC layers. The proposed two-stage resource allocation scheme consists of a user grouping stage and a resource allocation stage. In the user grouping stage, users are divided into a macro base station user group and a micro base station user group based on the PHY-MAC layer characteristics of each user. In the resource allocation stage, a scheduling scheme and an allotment of resources are determined. In the proposed scheme, diversity and adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) schemes are exploited as schedulers. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme increases the average cell throughput about 40~80 % compared to the conventional system without micro base stations.

The wireless communication system adopts an appropriate retransmission scheme on each system protocol layer to improve reliability of data transmission. In each system protocol layer, the retransmission scheme operates in independently other layers and operates based on the parameters without reference to end-to-end performance of wireless communication system. For this reason, it is difficult to design the optimal system parameters that satisfy the QoS requirements for each service class. Thus, the performance analysis of wireless communication system is needed to design the optimal system parameters according to the end-to-end QoS requirements for each service class. In this paper, we derive the mathematical model to formulate the end-to-end performance of wireless communication system. We also evaluate the performance at the MAC and transport layers in terms of average spectral efficiency and average transmission delay. Based on the results of performance evaluations, we design the optimal system parameters according to the QoS requirements of service classes. From the results, the HARQ combined with AMC is appropriate for the delay-sensitive service and the ARQ combined with AMC is appropriate for a service that is insensitive to transmission delay. Also, the TCP can be applied for the delay-insensitive service only.
