The lack of QoS (Quality of Service) support functionalities in IEEE 802.11 DCF mode makes it difficult to provide real-time multimedia services in WLANs. In this paper, we propose an effective available bandwidth measurement method in IEEE 802.11b DCF environments. The proposed method measures the total channel idle time and the collision probability during each measurement period. Then, the available bandwidth is calculated by considering those measured information and the transmission overheads at MAC and PRY layers. The performances of the proposed method are evaluated using OPNET simulator. The simulation results show that the proposed method provides more exact results than existing comparable schemes.

Since the IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs were known to have several critical weaknesses in the aspect of security, a lot of works have been done to reduce such weaknesses of the wireless LAN security, Among them IEEE 802.lli may be the ultimate long-term solution that requires new security platform with new wireless LAM products. However, it might not be the best solution for small organizations due to its high cost where the cost is a critical issue. This paper proposes FR-WEP, a light-weight key management for wireless LANs that can be used with small changes of the existing Products. FR-WEP is an extension to a lightweight key management, WEP'(9), which was proposed lately. It makes up for the weak points of WEP' by providing lightweight mutual authentication with both host keys and user keys, and seamless key-refresh for authenticated users with fast re-authentication. It would be a good alternative to the heavy standards for wireless LAN security, especially to small organizations hoping for better security.

Recently, wireless LANs are often applied in home or office because of its various of convenience. Frequency rage of wireless LANs specified by IEEE 802.11b is at 2.4 GHz. The bluetooth, the microwave oven, and the PDA(Personal Digital Assistants) uses ,however, the same frequency band. So problems will be produced in these environments, such as multi-pass interference and system-to-system interference. These problems can be eliminated by using EM wave absorber. In this paper, we designed and fabricated EM wave absorber using Sendust, $Al(OH)_3$, and CPE. The double-layered EM wave absorber with thickness of 1.5 mm has absorption ability more than 10 dB at 2.4 GHz.

This paper introduces a new split-TCP approach for improving TCP performance over IEEE 802.11-based wireless LANs. TCP over wireless LANs differently from wired networks is not aggressive, which is a fundamental reason for poor performance. Therefore, we propose TAS (TCP-Aware Sub-layer) to migigate this problem. Our scheme extends the split-connection approach that divides a connection into two different connections at a split point such as an access point (AP). Using TAS, a wireless node emulates TCP ACK packets using MAC ACK frames, instead of receiving real TCP ACK packets. We compared TAS with both normal TCP and I-TCP (Indirect TCP) by NS2 simulation. Results show that TAS achieves higher throughput, more fair resource allocation and, in power-saving mode, shorter delays.

This paper addresses the fairness issue between uplink and downlink traffic in IEEE 802.11 WLANs. Some solutions in existing work try to solve this issue by giving smaller minimum contention window (CWmin) value to an AP compared to stations. In contrast to the existing solutions, a proposed algorithm in this paper aims at finding CWmin values that not only provides fairness between uplink and downlink traffic among stations but also achieves high throughput. For this, in the proposed algorithm, an AP checks the number of stations that have uplink and downlink traffic, respectively. Based on this information, the AP calculates optimal CWmin values and announces it to stations. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing algorithms in terms of fairness and throughput.

Recently the application area of wireless LAN has been increased, rapidly. The application area was limited in indoor, but as the data throughput and performance of wireless LAN becomes better the application is to extend to the Internet connection and wireless bridge in outdoor. In this paper, the data throughput of wireless LAN in mobile environment is measured, and the usability of wireless LAN for ITS, Telematics, and LBS is confirmed.

IEEE 802.11 has employed distributed coordination function (DCF) adopting carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). To effectively resolve collisions, DCF uses binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm with three parameters, i.e., backoff stage, backoff counter and contention window. If a collision occurs, stations involving in the collision increase their backoff stages by one and double their contention window sizes. However, DCF with BEB wastes wireless resource when there are many contending stations. Therefore, in this paper, to enhance the performance of wireless LAN, we propose binary negative-exponential backoff (BNEB) algorithm which maintains a maximum contention window size during collisions and reduces a contention window size to half after successful transmission of a frame without retransmissions. For IEEE 802.11, 802.11a and 802.11b standards, we also compare the performance of DCF with BEB to that with BNEB.

We provide an aggressive spatial reuse scheme exploiting the space sensed busy when neighboring 802.11 stations radiate radio wave in omni-directions. For this purpose, we develop four strategies, i.e., disruptive RTS, busy random backoff, zero padding, and unavailable pair management. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the aggregate network throughput from 14% to 50% while the station adopting the proposed scheme coexists with the legacy stations.

IEEE 802.11 무선 랜 환경에서 멀티미디어 트래픽이 효과적으로 전송퇴기 위해서는 정해진 딜레이 바운드내에서 전송이 완료되어야 한다 대표적인 멀티미디어 트래픽인 음성신호를 전송할 때의 단방향 딜레이 바운드는 echo canceller를 쓰지 않았을 경우 $25ms{\sim}30ms$ 이다. 딜레이 바운드를 지키지 못하고 전송된다면 시간에 민감한 음성신호의 특성 때문에 음성품질이 유지되지 않을 뿐만 아니라 채널의 혼잡을 유발하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 음성의 품질이 보장되는 기준을 95%이상의 패킷이 성공적으로 전달되는 경우로 제한하여 음성의 딜레이 바운드에 관한 분석을 시도하였다. 이를 위해 음성패킷이 drop될 확률을 수학적인 분석을 통해 유도하고 시뮬레이션을 통한 검증을 시도하였다. 시뮬레이션에서는 IEEE 802.11의 두 가지 기본적인 MAC(Multiple Access Control) 프로토콜인 DCF와 PCF를 사용해서 음성신호를 전송할 때 딜레이 바운드를 지키지 못하는 음성 패킷을 사전에 drop 시킴으로써 몇 개의 음성 노드가 손실율 5% 이내 (음성의 품질이 유지되는 한계)를 만족시키는지를 음성신호를 발생시키는 STA 수와 손실율의 관계를 통해 알아보았다.
