In this paper, we propose a practical implementation of network-adaptive HD(high definition) MPEG-2 video streaming with a cross-layered channel monitoring(CLM) over the IEEE 802.11a WLAN(wireless local area network). For wireless channel monitoring, AP(access point) periodically measures the MAC(medium access control) layer transmission information and sends the monitoring information to a streaming server. This makes that the streaming server reacts more quickly as well as efficiently to the fluctuated wireless channel than that of the end-to-end monitoring(E2EM) scheme for the video adaptation. The streaming sewer dynamically performs the priority-based frame dropping to adjust the video sending rate according to the measured wireless channel condition. For this purpose, our streaming system nicely provides frame-based prioritized packetization by using a real-time stream parsing module. Various evaluation results over an IEEE 802.11a WLAM testbed are provided to verify the intended QoS adaptation capability The experimental results show that the proposed system can effectively mitigate the quality degradation of video streaming caused by the fluctuations of time-varying wireless channel condition.

We proposed a method for improving a performance of TCP downstream between a desktop PC as a fixed host and a PDA as a mobile host in a wired and wireless network based on IEEE 802.11x wireless LAN. With data transmission between these heterogeneous terminals a receiving time during downstream is slower than that during upstream by 20% at maximum. The reason is that their congestion window size will be oscillated due to a significantly lower packet processing rate at receiver compared to a packet sending rate at sender. Thus it will cause to increase the number of control packets to negotiate their window size. To mitigate these allergies, we proposed two distinct methods. First, by increasing a buffer size of a PDA at application layer an internal processing speed of a socket receive buffer of TCP becomes faster and then the window size is more stable. However, a file access time in a PDA is kept nearly constant as the buffer size increases. With the buffer size of 32,768bytes the receiving time is faster by 32% than with that of 512bytes. Second, a delay between packets to be transmitted at sender should be given. With an inter-packet delay of 5ms at sender a resulting receiving time is faster by 7% than without such a delay.

RF 신호 강도인 RSSI(Received Signal Strength indication)를 이용해 지역화를 하는 방법론이나 알고리즘은 많이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 대다수의 연구에서 추가적인 장비를 요구하거나, 복잡한 시스템 환경을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 무선랜 환경을 사용할 수 있는 노트북에서, Windows 기반의 802.11의 RSSI를 이용해 지역화를 수행하였다. IEEE 802.11의 네트워킹 구성을 한 센서노드들 중에 AP(Access Point) 역할을 하는 한 개의 고정노드(Anchor)를 중심으로 다수의 움직일 수 있는 모바일 노드들의 위치를 추적해가는 방법이며, Anchor가 많아지거나 모바일 노드가 늘어나면 지역화의 정확도는 증가하게 된다. 이 방법은 일반적인 802.11의 무선랜 환경이 가능한 랩톱에서도 쉽게 적응이 가능하며, 부가적인 장비의 의존성이 전혀 없고 소프트웨어 적인 방법론으로 해결하였다. 또한 지역화가 가능함과 동시에 각각의 센서 노드들은 802.11을 이용한 데이터 송수신이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 MS의 Windows 플랫폼 기반으로 테스트하였고, 효과적으로 Beacon 패킷을 송출하기 위한 해법을 제시한다.

Recently, various types of wireless networks have been proliferated. Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 WLAN, 802.16e Mobile WiMAX (or Wibro) and 3G celluar networks are some examples. Accordingly, research on seamless mobility support mechanisms among homogeneous or heterogeneous networks has drawn significant interests. This paper examines recent research efforts on seamless mobility support mechanisms from link to transport layer. Yet, no single solution meets all the requirements for supporting the seamless mobility and it seems hard to tell which layer is the most appropriate one for supporting mobility. This area is still wide open and needs further research.

IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs support 20, 40, 80 and 160MHz bandwidth transmission. In general, the data rate increases as the transmission bandwidth increases. However, the transmission power spectral density decreases, which may lead to increasing packet errors and retransmissions. In this paper, we derive a mathematical model of energy consumption with consideration of various factors such as transmission bandwidth, packet error rate and data size. Based on the model, we design a scheme to adapt a transmission bandwidth for each frame transmission. The scheme estimates packet error rates for different bandwidth cases, updates the table of energy consumption and selects the best bandwidth for the next transmission. The simulation study with VoIP traffic shows the energy consumption of the scheme under various environments.

This paper describes a design of AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)-based CCMP core for IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN security. To maximize its performance, two AES cores are used, one is for counter mode for data confidentiality and the other is for CBC(Cipher Block Chaining)mode for authentication and data integrity. The S-box that requires the largest hardware in AES core is implemented using composite field arithmetic, and the gate count is reduced by about 25% compared with conventional LUT(Lookup Table)-based design. The CCMP core designed in Verilog-HDL has 15,450 gates, and the estimated throughput is about 128 Mbps at 50-MHz clock frequency). The functionality of the CCMP core is verified by Excalibur SoC implementation.

We have experienced an explosive increase of the IoT(Internet of Things) technology based devices including smart phones and the wireless communications. Also the growing power consumption in IEEE 802.11 WLANs(Wireless LANs) driven by these dramatic increases in not only mobile users and but also wireless APs(Access Points). To reduce the power consumption, this paper proposes a wireless AP power saving algorithm, which minimizes the transmission power without decrease the transmission and carrier sense ranges. A wireless AP which is use in our algorithm checks its own original coverage periodically for whether there is a new STA(Station) or not when its transmission power is decreased. Moreover, if there are no signaling message to connect the wireless AP, it changes its operation mode Wake-up to sleep. A Result shows that the proposed AP algorithm can reduce the total power consumption of the wireless AP approximated 18% and 35% compared to the conventional wireless AP with and without the existing power saving algorithm, respectively.

미래의 광대역 무선망은 고주파수의 대역을 사용하여 신호의 감쇠가 높고, 높은 multi-path fading효과를 가지므로 전력제어가 필요하고 사용자에게 넓은 대역폭을 제공할 것으로 예측한다. 이를 위해 셀의 크기가 줄게 되고 BS의 수가 증가하여 네트워크 설치비용도 증가하게 될 것이다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크는 이런 문제를 해결하여 망구축과 운영을 쉽게 하고 영역 확장과 용량 확장을 유연하게 하며 저비용의 무선 bakhaul로 높은 신뢰성을 제공하는 특성을 가진다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크는 노드와 노드간의 무선 멀티-홉 통신을 이용하여 끊김 없는 연속적인 연결을 제공하는 네트워크 기술이다. 이 기술은 메쉬 라우터와 메쉬 클라이언트라는 노드로 구성되며 각 노드는 라우터인 동시에 호스트로 동작할 수 있다 앞서 언급한 바와 같이 자가 구성, 자가 복구의 능력을 가지고 저 비용으로 신뢰성 있는 네트워크 구축을 제공하기 때문에 무선랜이나 WiMAX, WPAN 등에서 채택되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 메쉬 네트워크의 구조와 특징을 자세히 설명하고 IEEE 802.11s와 IEEE 802.16j에서 진행되는 무선 메쉬 네트워크 관련 표준화를 살펴본 후 관련업체에서의 메쉬 네트워크 관련 개발 현황과 실제 구축 현황을 설명하고자 한다. 또한 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 발생하는 여러 가지 보안 문제와 적용기술들을 짚어 보고자 한다.

최근 호텔, 커피숍, 레스토랑, 컨벤션 센터 등 유동 인구가 잦은 이른바 핫 스팟이라고 불리우는 지역에서 IEEE 802.11b와 같은 무선 랜 기술을 활용하여 가입자들에게 고속 무선 네트워크 접속 서비스를 제공하는 사업자들이 전세계적으로 점차 늘어나고 있다. 아직까지는 특정 사업자의 핫 스팟으로 서비스 가능 지역이 제한되어 있기 때문에 가용성이 낮아 앞으로 통신 서비스의 주류로 성장하기에는 어려움이 많을 것으로 예상되지만, 무선 랜은 고속 전송 속도와 넓은 서비스 커버리지 그리고 고속 이동성을 동시에 만족시키는 4세대 이동 통신 기술이 개발되기 전까지, 당분간 유선과 무선 기술 간의 가교 역할을 수행할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 최근 국내에서도 큰 주목을 받고 있는 공중 무선 랜 서비스의 특성 및 비즈니스 모델을 분석하고, 각 지역별 서비스 사업자들의 동향을 파악함으로써 앞으로의 시장 발전 가능성을 탐색해 보고자 한다.

Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) uses traditional TCP for reliable data transmission, But it brings the unintentional packet loss which is not congestion loss caused by handoff, interference, and fading in wireless LAN. In wireless LAN, TCP experiences performance degradation because it consumes that the cause of packet loss is congestion, and it decrease the sending rate by activating congestion control algorithm. This paper analyzes that correlation of throughput and buffer size for wireless buffer tuning. We find MBT (Maximum Buffer Threshold) which does not increase the throughput through the analysis, For calculation of MBT, we experiment the throughput by using high volume music data which is creased by real-time performance of piano. The experiment results is shown that buffer tuing based on MBT shows 20.3%, 21.4%, and 45.4% throughput improvement under 5ms RTT, 10ms RTT, and 20ms RTT, respectively, comparing with the throughput of operation system default buffer size, In addition, we describe that The setting of TCP buffer size by exceeding MBT does not have an effect on the performance of TCP.
