In this paper, we propose a design methodology of IEEE 802.11n MAC which aims to achieve the higher throughput of more than 100Mbps in downlink as measured at the MAC-SAP and present the implementation results of MAC using the proposed design methodology. With our proposed methodology, different from the conventional design flow which has the separate codes for the protocol validation, for the network simulation, and for the system implementation, the unified code can be used for the network simulation and the implementation of software and hardware. Our MAC architecture is partitioned into two parts, Upper-layer MAC and Lower-layer MAC, in order to achieve the high efficiency for the new features of IEEE 802.11n standard. They are implemented in software and hardware respectively. The implemented MAC is tested on ARM based FPGA board.

Nowadays, usage of mobile unit which has a characteristic of low cost and high efficiency is being generalized because of frequent use of internet-based variable service and application in IEEE 802.16 WiMAX. A study for handling a security problem of high speed internet service is rising while the use of a mobile is being generalized. This paper suggests a security mechanism which provides safety from certification load of SS and a security attack as well as a basic function which is provided from IEEE 802.16e standard to satisfy security demand of IEEE802.16 WiMAX. The proposed mechanism exchangeskey material information for TEK and data code by using 난수(?) and secret value created by SS and BS, also reduces capacity load of BS not to perform an additional certificate procedure of BS by using the early certification information and certificate of SS.

IEEE 802.11 규격에 따른 무선랜은 사설망에서 사용됨은 물론, 공중망 사업자들에 의한 핫스팟 서비스까지 제공되면서 수요가 더욱 늘어나고 있다. 사용자가 늘어남에 따라, 이에 대한 보안의 중요성 또한 늘어났다. IEEE 802.1X는 랜 접속 서비스를 받고자 하는 시스템이 인증을 거쳐 랜을 사용할 수 있도록 함으로써, 허가 받지 않은 사용자가 무단으로 사용하거나 도청하는 것을 어렵게 한다. 기존의 Linux 용 access point 디바이스드라이버에 802.1X 가상 포트를 추가하고, 이를 제어하는 가상 포트 제어기를 통하여, 사용자 인증 기능이 추가된 access point를 설계, 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템은 embedded Linux 형태의 access point고 사용되어 질 수 있다.

Wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standard are widely spread for use nowadays. Traffic which are conveyed over the WLANs change rapidly from normal data such as Email and Web pages, to multimedia data of high resolution video and voice. To meet QoS (Quality of Service) required by these multimedia traffic, the IEEE 802 committee recently has developed a new standard, IEEE 802.11e. Current IEEE 802.11e, however, is not sufficient to support service differentiations and network performance enhancements, under a varying network environment experiencing as varying channel characteristics and high network loads. Recently, there have been much research to complement this deficiency of 802.11e standard. This paper surveys these research efforts.

IEEf 802.11 Point Coordination Function (PCF) mode is defined to support time bounded traffic, such as VoIP in wireless LANs. The poll scheduling plays an important role in IEEE 802.11 PCF mode operation. This paper proposed a Multicast Polling Scheme to increase the performance of wireless LANs. Moreover, we proposed a polling schedule scheme for our proposed multipoll to serve real-time traffic. The results show that the proposed mechanism is more efficient than the original IEEE 802.11 PCF.

The security of the data exchanged between sensor nodes in IoT (Internet of Things) environment becomes increasing. In the conventional IEEE 802.15.4, the key for secure communication between the sensor node and the sensor node and the PAN Coordinator or the sensor node is assumed to be pre-shared in advance. Especially, there is another problem in that sensor node authentication is not considered during the association process. In this paper, we propose a security scheme that solves the problems of previously proposed protocols with the pre-shared key for all devices.

This paper presents the analysis and the implementation of the asynchronous communication portion of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. We have used PRISM2 chipsets from INTERSIL to build baseband, IF, and RF parts and PCI controller from PLX to interface LLC Layer. We have implemented DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) service using CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Acoidance) with backoff algorithm and RTS/CTS protocol. Also, we have implemented TSF(Timing Synchronization Function) which can be used for power management frequency hop synchronization, and other management function. This study can be used as a reference for the MAC protocol implementation and MAC controller design in very high speed wireless LAN which complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard.

We propose an analytic model to compute the station's saturated throughput and packet delay performance of the IEEE 802.11 DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) in which frame transmission error rates in the channel are different from each other. Our analytic model shows that a station experiencing worse frame error rates than the others suffers severe performance degradation below its deserved throughput and delay performance. 802.11 DCF adopts an exponential back-off scheme. When some stations suffer from high frame error rates, their back-off stages should be increased so that others get the benefit from the smaller collision probabilities. This impact is then recursively applied to degrade the performance of the victim stations. In particular, we show that the performance is considerably degraded even if the frame error rate of the victim station satisfies the receiver input level sensitivity that has been specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard. We also verify the analytic results by the OPNET simulations.

다양한 기능의 휴대 단말 기기와 무선 환경의 보급으로 무선 인터넷 서비스에 대한 사용자들의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 IEEE 802.16 표준은 사용자에게 대용량 데이터 서비스를 제공하기 위한 무선 기술을 정의하고 있다. 또한, IEEE 802.16에 MS의 핸드오버 절차를 추가한 EEE 802.16e 표준 기술은 MS에 대한 핸드오버 절차를 지원하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 핸드오버 절차는 MS이 Serving BS과의 연결을 종료한 이후, 새로운 Target BS에 대한 핸드오버 절차를 수행하므로 사용자는 일시적인 데이터 전송 중단으로 인한 서비스 지연을 경험한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고, 사용자에 대한 빠른 핸드오버 절차를 지원하기 위해 주변 BS들의 위치 정보를 MOB_NBR-ADV를 통하여 MS에게 전송하고, 이를 통해 각 BS들에 대한 MS의 접근 정도를 평가하여 특정한 BS에 대해서만 Association을 수행할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.
