For effective wireless localization utilizing signal strength measurements based on IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard diversity of mobile hardware, characteristics of is one of the important problems to be considered for advanced location-based services. For improved accuracy regardless of a bias originating from the mobile hardware characteristics, this paper proposes a new localization algorithm, which is named as the hybrid Kriging algorithm. To evaluate the performance characteristics of the proposed algorithm, simulation and experiment results are illustrated. By the simulation and experiment result, the proposed algorithm is more accurate than the well-known location finger-print method given the same density of reference measurements.

Being different from traditional mobile communication networks or wireless LAN with access points, ad hoc network can provide direct communications between homogeneous stations. Thus, it can be considered as a much advanced network. Somehow, many researches have been done to enhance system performance of ad hoc networks up to now, one of which is cooperative communications. In this paper, a cooperative MAC protocol, called CO-MAC protocol, is proposed and its performance is evaluated with a mathematical approach. Numerical results show that this scheme provides more enhanced system throughput especially when frame transmission error probability is high than DCF scheme, which is the key protocol in IEEE 802.11 standard, and rDCF scheme.

본 논문은 현재 무선 LAN 환경에서 적용되고 있는 매체접근제어 프로토콜인 IEEE 802.11 CSMA/CA를 이용함으로써, 음성 위주의 항공이동통신에서 음성과 데이터 채널을 통합하여 사용하도록 하고 있다. 또한, 표준으로 제정되어 있는 기존의 CSMA/CA 매체접근제어 프로토콜에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 성능 개선 방안을 제안하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 채널 효율을 향상시켰다. IEEE 802.11 매체접근제어(MAC, Medium Access Control) 프로토콜은 데이터 유형에 따라 채널을 두 개의 구간(PCF와 DCF 구간)으로 나누어 전송하도록 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 데이터 유형별로 적용되는 구간 중, DCF 구간에서의 패킷간의 충돌 가능성을 줄임으로써 데이터 전송 효율을 높이는데 주안점을 두고 있다. 제안 방안으로는 경쟁 구간에서의 전송에서 충돌에 따른 손실을 보완할 수 있도록 Wireless Window Protocol(이하, WWP)을 적용한 후 전송 과정을 제어하였다. Hidden 터미널의 영향이 적으므로 가시권내 통신에 적합한 기존의 2-Way CSMA/CA 프로토콜을 항공통신에 적용하여 상태 천이 과정을 5개에서 6개로 세분화하였고, 주어진 확률에 의하여 나누어진 두 개의 그룹별로 상태 천이 과정을 다르게 적용하였다. 따라서, 채널이 한 항공기에 의해 점유되는 PCF를 제외한, DCF 구간에서의 데이터 전송 효율을 높일 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션은 채널 대역폭과 패킷 크기 등을 파라미터 값으로 하여 수행하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 CSMA/CA에 비해 새로 제안한 알고리즘이 데이터 전송 과정에서 발생하는 충돌 가능성을 감소시킴으로써 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation algorithm for OFDM based wireless LAN, IEEE 802.11a. The complexity of the arctangent operation to calculate the argument of auto-correlation for CFO estimation is reduced by a novel range pointer method. The proposed algorithm estimates fine CFO value first and then based on the fine CFO value, simple criteria is used for the boundary decision of integer CFO estimation. The simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is slightly better than the conventional method while the computational complexity is reduced by 50%. Furthermore, the proposed method can be easily implemented for the low complex next generation MIMO-OFDM based WLAN systems.

This paper presents the design of a reservation-based MAC protocol to support multimedia traffic over mobile ad-hoc networks and evaluates its performance. Our MAC protocol is based on a hierarchical approach consisting of two sub-layers. The lower sub-layer of the MAC protocol with reservation provides a fundamental access method using CSMA/CA in order to support asynchronous data traffic over mobile ad-hoc networks. The upper sub-layer supports real-time periodic data by making a slot reservation before transmitting actual data. The proposed protocol has been validated through simulations using ns-2. The results show that the proposed MAC protocol can offer higher throughput and lower delay than standard implementations of the IEEE 802.11.

This paper introduces reliable multicast MAC protocol for cooperative unmanned vehicles. cooperative unmanned vehicles communicate with infrastructure and other unmanned vehicles in order to increase driving safety. They exchange information related to driving and thus it requires real-time and reliable multicast. However, the international vehicular communication standard, IEEE 802.11p WAVE, does not provide a reliable multicast scheme on the MAC layer. To address the problems of reliability, we propose a reliable multicast protocol called WiVCL, which avoids contention and collision. Our evaluation shows that the WiVCL achieves a high degree of reliability and real-time features.

Current IEEE 802.11p which is suggested for vehicle to vehicle communication supports one hop communication. Thus, it has a limitation to carry out efficient data dissemination. In this thesis, we suggest LTE-D2D based vehicle network to provide efficient data dissemination in the vehicle environment. In this network architecture, we use name based message with IP packet options and we put the intermediate vehicle node called 'super vehicle node' and each normal vehicle node in the cell requests data to the super vehicle node. The super vehicle node responses data to the normal vehicle node. Performance analysis is based mathematical modeling. We compare LTE cellular network to LTE-D2D based vehicle network about throughput according to packet delivery time.

In this paper, we study an optimum design of search synchronization structure for Baseband Modem to support ISO/IEC 18185-5 and 24730-2 Standard. For DSSS Modem, we design the code acquisition and tracking structure which are important in receiver operation, and examine the parameters to be considered. The data and PN chip transmission rates and processing gain of the proposed modem are 59.7 kbps, 30.521875 Mcps, and 27 dB, respectively. This indicates that the noise immunity of the proposed modem is 17dB better than IEEE 802.11b (Processing gain : 10dB). Therefore, we design the optimum structure for the modem search synchronization which is compatible to the proposed modem standard.

RPersonal area networking technology is becoming increasingly important in enabling useful wireless home applications. For example, Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b standards are the most commonly deployed technologies for wireless home applications. However, because both standards share the same unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) radio spectrum, severe interference is inevitable and performance can be impaired significantly when heterogeneous devices using the two technologies come into close proximity. In this paper, we research Gaussian FSK Bluetooth system, which is an open specification technology for short-range wireless connectivity between electronic devices. In this paper, we analyzes the effects of co-channel interference on the performance of a Gaussian FSK Bluetooth system. Performance criteria used in the study are the signal to interference power ratio (SIR), interference index, and the bit error rate (BER) in the wireless channel. The effect of co-channel interference from various sources on the performance of a Gaussian FSK Bluetooth system is analyzed using an IGA(Impulsive Gaussian Approximation) method, and these quantities are plotted against Eb/No, $\rho$ and SIR for various channel conditions in figures.
