In this paper, the effects to system performance are evaluated in IEEE 802.11 system when the number of competing terminals are estimated and reflected to the system. The IEEE 802.11 system uses DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) for the multiple access method, and the system throughput performance depends on the accuracy of the estimated number of competing terminals. We propose extended H infinity filter (EHIF) approach which does not require the noise information for estimating the number of competing terminals. Simulation results show that EHIF outperforms the extended Kalman filter in both saturated and non-saturated network conditions.

Microwave Otters are essential device in modem wireless systems. A compact dimension BPF(Band-pass Filter) for IEEE 802.11a WLAN service is realized using LTCC multi-layer process. To extrude 2-stage band-pass equivalent circuit, band-pass and J-inverter transform applied to Chebyshev low-pass prototype filter. Because parallel L-C resonator is complicate and hard to control the inductor characteristics in high frequency, the shorted $\lambda/4$ stripline is selected for the resonator structure. The passive element is located in the different layers connected by conventional via structure and isolated by inner GND. The dimension of fabricated stacked band-pass filter which is composed of six layers, is $2.51\times2.27\times1.02\;mm^3$. The measured filter characteristics show the insertion loss of -2.25 dB, half-power bandwidth of 220 MHz, attenuation at 5.7 GHz of -32.25 dB and group delay of 0.9 ns at 5.25 GHz.

IEEE 802.11 WLAN(Wireless LAN)은 효율성과 편리함으로 시장에 급격히 보급되었다. 이 IEEE 802.11 WLAN은 CSMA/CA를 기반으로 하는 DCF방식을 주로 사용하고 있으며, Contention Window, Backoff Size를 이용한 각 단말기들간의 자유 경쟁에 의한 전송 방식을 택하고 있다. 그 주된 방법으로 단말기는 CW를 설정하고 CW범위안에서 랜덤한 값을 정해 Backoff Counter를 줄여 채널을 점유하는 방식이다. DCF방식은 채널을 두고 여러 대의 단말기가 서로 경쟁을 함으로써 채널을 할당 받아 사용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 채널 할당시 CW값을 조절하여 다른 단말기보다 채널을 빨리 할당받고 높은 처리량을 나타내는 탐욕적(Greedy) 노드문제에 대해서 분석하는 방법에 대해서 설명하려고 한다.

With the appearance of various types of traffic services in communication networks, a study on QoS(Quality of Service) packet scheduling mechanisms which can support differentiated service to each traffic service becomes very important. To meet this requirement, IEEE 802.11 Working Group established the IEEE 802.11e MAC protocol which categorizes every traffic services into 4 access categories(AC) and provides the differentiated service to each AC. In addition, the physical layer of IEEE 802.11a/g standards provide up to 54 Mbps transmission rate per one wireless LAN terminal. However, since the radio resource is hardly limited in wireless channel, it is necessary to find an efficient packet scheduling scheme to maximize the transmission efficiency. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a new packet scheduling scheme that can enhance the total throughput by setting different contention windows(CW) of CSMA-CA channel access scheme to each wireless LAN terminal according its current channel states. Numerical results derived from using NS-2 network simulator have shown that our proposed packet scheduling scheme can enhance the performance of IEEE 802.11e more and more.

IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) employs the distributed coordination function (DCF) as the fundamental medium access function. DCF operates with binary exponential backoff (BEB) in order to avoid frame collisions. However it may waste wireless resources because collisions occur when multiple stations are contending for frame transmissions. In order to solve this problem, a binary negative-exponential backoff (BNEB) algorithm has been proposed that uses the maximum contention window size whenever a collision occurs. However, when the number of contending stations is small, the performance of BNEB is degraded due to the unnecessarily long backoff time. In this paper, we propose the adaptive BNEB (A-BNEB) algorithm to maximize the throughput regardless of the number of contending stations. A-BNEB estimates the number of contending stations and uses this value to adjust the maximum contention window size. Simulation results show that A-BNEB significantly improves the performance of IEEE 802.11 DCF and can maintain a high throughput irrespective of the number of contending stations.

Recently, a basic access method about IEEE 802.11 MAC layer protocol using IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs is the DCF thatis based on the CSMA/CA. But, cause of IEEE 802.11 MAC layer uses original backoff algorithm (exponential backoff method), when collision occurred, the size of contention windows increases the double size. Also, a time of packet transmission delay increases and efficiency is decreased by original backoff scheme. In this paper, we have analyzed TCP packet transmission time of IEEE 802.11 MAC DCF protocol for wireless LANs a proposed enhanced backoff algorithm. It is considered the transmission time of transmission control protocol (TCP) packet on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rician fading channel. From the results, a proposed enhanced backoff algorithm produces a better performance improvement than an original backoff in wireless LAN environment. Also, in OFDM/quadrature phase shift keying channel (QPSK), we can achieve that the transmission time in wireless channel decreases as the TCP packet size increases and based on the data collected, we can infer the correlation between packet size and the transmission time, allowing for an inference of the optimal packet size in the TCP layer.

This paper proposes a unified medium access control (MAC) design methodology and presents the implementation of the IEEE 802.11ac down-link multi-user multi-input and multi-output wireless local area network MAC using the proposed design methodology. The proposed methodology employs unified code for both network simulation and system implementation. Because the unified code closely relates these two processes, the performance of the implemented MAC system can be estimated before implementation. The MAC architecture for an access point implemented using the proposed design methodology is verified on an ARM-based platform, and it is applied to a 65 nm CMOS library.

현재 IEEE 802.11p 규격은 기존의 IEEE 802.11a 규격을 기반으로 하여 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 IEEE 802.11a 규격은 무선랜 (WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network) 규격으로서 고속으로 이동하는 차량 통신환경 즉 WAVE (Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) 환경에 그대로 작용할 경우 수신 성능이 급격히 떨어지게 되 는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 긴 훈련 심볼 (LTS: Long Training Sequence)을 이용하는 기존의 채널 추정 기법을 기반으로 하되 WAVE 채널처럼 빠르게 변화하는 채널에 대응하기 위해 일정한 심볼 주기 마다 미드엠블 (Mid-Amble)을 삽입하는 전송구조를 제안한다. 또한, 미드엠블 사이의 심볼들의 위상과 크기를 3차원 스플라인 보간법을 적용하여 추정하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬의 성능실험을 위해 WAVE 채널을 모델링하였으며 이러한 채널에서 성능실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 제안된 알고리듬은 빠른 시변 채널에서도 매우 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있다.

Restricted Access Window (RAW) has been designed to improve power saving efficiency by reducing collisions of contending stations in the IEEE 802.11ah Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). We conduct simulations in order to observe the stations' operations influencing the lengths of the Restricted Access Window (RAW). From the observation, we consider how to adjust the stations' operations for proper RAW managements.
