IEEE 802.16e standard defines different Sleep Mode Operations according to kind of services which aims at saving energy for MS efficiently. The previous study of Sleep Mode Operation is limited for single service environment, real sleep interval is decreased because different Sleep Mode Operations are applied at once when MS is on multi service. The proposed Enhanced Sleep Mode Operation increasing real sleep interval of this paper guarantees QoS(Quality of Services) which is same as standard, minimizes energy consumption when different Sleep Mode Operations are applied at once. Therefore Enhanced Sleep Mode Operation of this paper will be useful in case of increase battery life time as well as guaranteeing QoS for MS in IEEE 802.16 system.

IEEE 802.16e specifies two different power saving modes(PSM). One is sleep mode and the other is idle mode. These modes are different in that whether a mobile node maintains its state information with the serving base station or not. This difference results in different efficiency in consuming battery power of a mobile terminal. Therefore, it becomes important to analyze the performance of each power saving mode considering the parameters affecting the power consumption. In this paper, we propose a performance modeling framework of sleep mode and idle mode in terms of power saving efficiency. The analytical results are verified by computer simulations that idle mode is superior to sleep mode in power consumption of mobile node.

다양한 기능의 휴대 단말 기기와 무선 환경의 보급으로 무선 인터넷 서비스에 대한 사용자들의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 IEEE 802.16 표준은 사용자에게 대용량 데이터 서비스를 제공하기 위한 무선 기술을 정의하고 있다. 또한, IEEE 802.16에 MS의 핸드오버 절차를 추가한 EEE 802.16e 표준 기술은 MS에 대한 핸드오버 절차를 지원하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 핸드오버 절차는 MS이 Serving BS과의 연결을 종료한 이후, 새로운 Target BS에 대한 핸드오버 절차를 수행하므로 사용자는 일시적인 데이터 전송 중단으로 인한 서비스 지연을 경험한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고, 사용자에 대한 빠른 핸드오버 절차를 지원하기 위해 주변 BS들의 위치 정보를 MOB_NBR-ADV를 통하여 MS에게 전송하고, 이를 통해 각 BS들에 대한 MS의 접근 정도를 평가하여 특정한 BS에 대해서만 Association을 수행할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.

IEEE 802.16e has adopted sleep mode to minimize energy consumption of mobile nodes with high speed mobility. If the Base Station (BS) has no data to be sent to a Mobile Subscriber Station (MSS) at the instant of ending sleep window of the MSS, the MSS increases its sleep window interval by double until the window interval reaches to the maximum sleep window interval. Thus, during the operation of sleep mode, MSS repeatedly performs switch on/off action until there exist frames to be received from BS. The switch on/off operation significantly consumes energy of MSS. To effectively deal with the energy of the MSS, this paper proposes an algorithm which decides the minimum sleep window interval that will be used in next sleep mode based on the current sleep window interval. We evaluate the performance of IEEE 802.16e sleep mode algorithm and our proposed algorithm in terms of energy consumption and blocking probability. Compared with the current sleep mode algorithm used in IEEE 802.16e, the proposed algorithm decreases the energy consumption by about 30% without increasing blocking probability.

The main issue in mobile cloud computing is how to support a seamless service to a mobile mode. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a mobility supporting protocol which is standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Mobile IPv6 fast handovers (FMIPv6) is the extension of MIPv6 which is proposed to overcome shortcomings of MIPv6. Recently, fast handovers for Mobile IPv6 over IEEE 802.16e which is one of broadband wireless access systems has been proposed by the IETF. It was designed for supporting cross-layer fast handover. In this paper, we propose an enhanced cross-layering mobile IPv6 fast handover over IEEE 802.16e networks. In our scheme, a new access router generates a new address for the mobile node by using a layer 2 trigger. We utilize a layer 2 message which is sent from a new base station to the new access router in order to inform the new access router of information of the mobile node. A previous access router sends a binding update message to the mobile node's home agent when it acquires the new address of the mobile node. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme compared with the existing schemes in terms of the signaling cost and the handover latency. From the results, we observe that the proposed scheme can support fast handover effectively over IEEE 802.16e networks than existing schemes.

The IEEE 802.16-2004 standard has a security sub-layer in the MAC layer called, Privacy Key Management (PKM). However, several researches have been published to address the security vulnerabilities of IEEE 802.16-2004. After the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard, a new advanced and revised standard was released as the IEEE 802.16e-2005 amendment which is foundation of Mobile WiMAX network supporting handoffs and roaming capabilities. PKMv2 in Mobile WiMAX includes EAP authentication, AES-based authenticated encryption, and CMAC or HMAC message protection. However, Mobile WiMAX still has a problem of security architecture such as a disclosure of security context in network entry, a lack of secure communication in network domain, and a necessity of efficient handover supporting mutual authentication because Mobile WiMAX security has mainly concentrated on between SS and BS communication. Based on the investigation results, we propose a novel mobile WiMAX security architecture, called RObust and Secure MobilE WiMAX (ROSMEX), to prevent the new security vulnerabilities.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic bandwidth provisioning method based on traffic forecasting in IEEE 802.16e packet core network. The traffic is categorized as 4-different classes and the traffic amount of each class is forecasted by the Box-Jenkins method. To increase the service provider's revenue we provision the bandwidth of 4-different classes dynamically using greedy algorithm. The simulation results show that the number of packet drops is reduced and the level of QoS is improved compared with two different the methods - no priority considering and static provisioning.

In this paper, we propose a timing offset estimation scheme for initial ranging of IEEE 802.16e systems. The conventional scheme estimates the timing offset by using the cross-correlation between the local and received signals only. On the other hand, this paper proposes a timing offset estimation scheme with additional cross-correlations accumulated on the conventional cross-correlation. The additional cross-correlations are obtained by using the ranging signal with a repetitive structure. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme provides the better timing offset estimation performance compared with that of the conventional scheme.

A mobile station(MS) in an 802.16e network manages its limited energy using the sleep mode operation. An MS can power down its physical operation components during the unavailability interval of the sleep mode. To reduce energy consumption by increasing the unavailability interval, this paper proposes an enhanced power saving mechanism(ePSM) when both activated Type I and Type II power saving classes(PSCs) exist in an MS. A performance evaluation confirms that ePSM results in the improved performance in terms of the unavailability interval as well as the energy consumption than conventional schemes.

현재 국내 국책사업으로 추진 중인 와이브로(WiBro) 기술 규격이 포함되어 있는 휴대인터넷 표준 규격인 IEEE 802.16e는 IP기반으로, 이동성이 뛰어나고 고속전송 기능의 특징을 가지고 있다. 또한 기지국간의 핸드오버(Handover)를 지원함으로써 이동성을 지원한다. 그러나 이러한 핸드오버 기법에 있어서 Replay 공격, Man-in-the-Middle 공격, Stolen-Verifier 공격 등에 취약한 문제점이 드러나고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 기존 핸드오버 기법의 취약점을 개선하기 위해서 사용자의 인증서와 Timestamp값을 통한 IEEE 802.16e/와이브로 망에서 안전한 핸드오버 적용 방안에 대해 제안한다.
