Indoor localization is becoming one of the most important technologies for smart mobile applications with different requirements from conventional outdoor location estimation algorithms. Fingerprinting location estimation techniques based on neural networks have gained increasing attention from academia due to their good generalization properties. In this paper, we propose a novel location estimation algorithm based on an ensemble of multiple neural networks. The neural network ensemble has drawn much attention in various areas where one neural network fails to resolve and classify the given data due to its' inaccuracy, incompleteness, and ambiguity. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to enhance the location estimation accuracy in indoor wireless environments based on a neural network ensemble using fingerprinting training data. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed location estimation method, we conduct the numerical experiments using the TGn channel model that was developed by the 802.11n task group for evaluating high capacity WLAN technologies in indoor environments with multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas. The numerical results show that the proposed method based on the NNE technique outperforms the conventional methods and achieves very accurate estimation results even in environments with a low number of APs.

핸드오프 제어에서의 가장 큰 문제점은 핸드오프시 일시적인 링크 절단에 따라 발생하는 서비스 품질의 저하이다. 이에 따라 핸드오프 처리시간을 최소화하는 방안으로 핸드오프 처리시간을 줄이기 위해 인접 AP를 중심으로 하는 무선환경을 측정, 관리하여 핸드오프시 이 정보를 활용한 빠른 핸드오프를 제공하는 방안이 IEEE 802.11k에서 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 무선랜 기반의 홈네트워크에 이 방식을 적용시 핸드오프 처리시간, 무선스펙트럼 사용 감소, 핸드오프 커버리지의 특성을 분석하였다.

ITS(Intelligent Traffic System) 통신을 위한 국제표준인 IEEE WAVE(Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) 규격은 핸드오버 기능을 제공하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE WAVE 기반의 고속도로 통신 네트워크에서 웹 페이지, CCTV 동영상 비디오클립 등의 멀티미디어 기반 서비스를 제공하기 위한 능동적(proactive) 핸드오버 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 핸드오버 프로토콜은 핸드오버 시작 전에 기존의 RSU에게 범위 이탈을 알림으로써 OBU(On-Board Unit)로 향하는 데이터를 다음 RSU로 전달하여 사전캐싱을 하도록 한 후, OBU의 범위내 진입시 최종적으로 OBU에게 전송하여 핸드오버 과정을 완료한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 핸드오버 프로토콜이 처리량과 전송성공률 그리고 핸드오버 지연시간 측면에서 우수함을 보인다.

Location-based service (LBS) is becoming an important part of the information technology (IT) business. Localization is a core technology for LBS because LBS is based on the position of each device or user. In case of outdoor, GPS - which is used to determine the position of a moving user - is the dominant technology. As satellite signal cannot reach indoor, GPS cannot be used in indoor environment. Therefore, research and study about indoor localization technology, which has the same accuracy as an outdoor GPS, is needed for "seamless LBS". For indoor localization, we consider the IEEE802.11 WLAN environment. Generally, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is used to obtain a specific position of the user under the WLAN environment. RSSI has a characteristic that is decreased over distance. To use RSSI at indoor localization, a mathematical model of RSSI, which reflects its characteristic, is used. However, this RSSI of the mathematical model is different from a real RSSI, which, in reality, has a sensitive parameter that is much affected by the propagation environment. This difference causes the occurrence of localization error. Thus, it is necessary to set a proper RSSI model in order to obtain an accurate localization result. We propose a method in which the parameters of the propagation environment are determined using only RSSI measurements obtained during localization.

The purpose of this research is to accurately estimate the location of a device using the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of IEEE 802.11 WLAN for location tracking in indoor environments. For the location estimation method, we adopted the calibration model. By applying the Adaptive Zone Based K-NNSS (AZ-NNSS) algorithm, which considers the velocity of devices, this paper presents a 9% improvement of accuracy compared to the existing K-NNSS-based research, with 37% of the K-NNSS computation load. The accuracy is further enhanced by using a Kalman filter; the improvement was about 24%. This research also shows the level of accuracy that can be achieved by replacing a subset of the calibration data with values computed by a numerical equation, and suggests a reasonable number of calibration points. In addition, we use both the mean error distance (MED) and hit ratio to evaluate the accuracy of location estimation, while avoiding a biased comparison.

Community Wireless Networks define the next generation wireless services. Multimedia usages for financial services over community Wireless LAN (WLAN) based mesh networks require link stability. Several new services are being proposed for multimedia over WLANs. Portable Internet Services are implemented by several wireless carriers to proliferate their customer base. However, these services are still expensive and require a central telecom/wireless carrier whose monopoly and preference defines the availability of new services. Our research project identifies the usage of these critical services in public places over the financial services backbone architecture to provide efficient easy-to-use and economical services to their customers and merchants without being dependent on the central wireless carrier. The user connects to the network using his regular WLAN NIC using the Mesh Router/Bridge interconnectivity and obtains the needed multimedia and financial services from the ATM-AP Gateway, In our proposed scenario, the ATN AP-MR use AODV protocol and MR-MC is based on 802.11g/a/b IEEE standard. We use multi path routing protocols for reducing the congestion over a particular route. We demonstrate the results of our simulations and test-bed outcome to evaluate link failure rate and oversubscription factors to eliminate network congestion and non-availability of the critical financial services.

본 논문에서는 RF 전력 증폭기의 메모리 효과를 모델링하기 위한 향상된 시스템 레벨의 모델을 제안하고, 사전 왜곡 선형화기를 적용한 전력 증폭기의 출력 신호의 스팩트럼 밀도를 분석하여 제안한 모델을 검증하였다. 기존의 Three-Box(Wiener-Hammerstein) 모델은 전력 증폭기의 RF 주파수 특성을 입출력 선형 필터를 사용하여 모델링한 것으로, Hammerstein 구조의 사전 왜곡 선형화기를 사용하면 이론적으로 인접 채널 간섭을 모두 제거할 수 있다. 그러나, 실제 전력 증폭기의 경우 RF 주파수 특성 외의 메모리 현상에 의해 주파수 특성만을 보정한 Hammerstein 사전 왜곡기에 의한 인접 채널 간섭비의 향상 정도가 제한적이다. 이러한 출력 스팩트럼 특성은 Three-Box 모델의 메모리 성분을 가지지 않는 비선형 블록을 메모리 다항식으로 바꾸어 준 모델을 사용하여 정확히 예측될 수 있다. IEEE 802.11 g 무선 랜 전력 증폭기에 Hammerstein 구조의 사전 왜곡이 적용된 경우 측정된 인접 채널 스팩트럼 밀도값을 제안된 모델은 ${\pm}30$ MHz의 인접 채널 범위에서 2 dB 이하의 오차로 예측하였다.

In a SoC (system-on-chip) design, a design complexity is a big bottleneck. In order to overcome the design complexity, platform based design method is widely adopted for designers. Most complex SoCs need a heterogeneous design development environment for hardware and software co-design. In this paper, we discuss about some kinds of verification approaches with platform based design methodology at various abstraction levels of SoC design. We separate the verification process to two steps according to the different levels of verification. We employ a flexible SoC design environment to support simultaneous hardware and software development. We demonstrate the verification strategy of a target SoC design, IEEE 802.11a WLAN SoC.

This paper proposes a complete solution of a contention-based medium access control in wireless local networks to provide station level quality of service guarantees in both downstream and upstream directions. The solution, based on the mature distributed coordination function protocol, includes a new fixed contention window backoff scheme, a tuning procedure to derive the optimal parameters, a super mode to mitigate the downstream bottleneck at the access point, and a simple admission control algorithm. The proposed system guarantees that the probability of the delay bound violation is below a predefined threshold. In addition, high channel utilization can be achieved at the same time. The numerical results show that the system has advantages over the traditional binary exponential backoff scheme, including efficiency and easy configuration.
