This letter proposes a handover ranging power adjustment scheme to improve handover performance. Incorrect ranging power can degrade handover performance due to the increased handover latency; therefore, the proposed scheme exploits the uplink channel information to adjust the uplink handover ranging power. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme reduces call outage probability by 33% compared to that of the conventional scheme. It also improves the number of users who satisfy the system requirements for handover interruption time.

Low power consumption sensor network platform (sensor node) for sensor networking with IEEE 802.15.4 protocol was fabricated. The sensor node used ceramic bar type antenna for increasing RF signal performance and decreasing PCB size occupied by antenna. The communication range of the fabricated sensor node was about $20{\sim}30$ m in open environment with 915 MHz frequency bandwidth and well supported by Tiny OS. The sensor node have good connectivity with various external devices by RS-232, I2C, analogue and digital expansion board, hence, this sensor node can be applied to various applications in wireless sensor network and ubiquitous sensor network.

A dual-mode direct conversion receiver is developed in $0.13\;{\mu}m$ RF CMOS process for IEEE 802.11n based wireless LAN and IEEE 802.16e based mobile WiMAX application. The RF receiver covers the frequency band between 2.3 and 2.7 GHz. Three-step gain control is realized in LNA by using current steering technique. Current bleeding technique is applied to the down-conversion mixer in order to lower the flicker noise. A frequency divide-by-2 circuit is included in the receiver for LO I/Q differential signal generation. The receiver consumes 56 mA at 1.4 V supply voltage including all LO buffers. Measured results show a power gain of 32 dB, a noise figure of 4.8 dB, a output $P_{1dB}$ of +6 dBm over the entire band.

This paper describes a design of low-density parity-check(LDPC) decoder supporting block length 2,304-bit and code rate 1/2 of IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX standard. The designed LDPC decoder employs the min-sum algorithm and partially parallel layered-decoding architecture which processes a sub-matrix of $96{\times}96$ in parallel. By exploiting the properties of the min-sum algorithm, a new memory reduction technique is proposed, which reduces check node memory by 46% compared to conventional method. Functional verification results show that it has average bit-error-rate(BER) of $4.34{\times}10^{-5}$ for AWGN channel with Fb/No=2.1dB. Our LDPC decoder synthesized with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library has 174,181 gates and 52,992 bits memory, and the estimated throughput is about 417 Mbps at 100-MHz@l.8-V.

This paper propose to methodology for deciding suitable bit size that minimizes hardware complexity and performance degradation from floating-point design the fixed-point implementation of downlink traffic channel of IEEE 802.16e OFDMA TDD system. One of the major considering issues for implementing fixed-point design is to select Saturation or Quantization properly with the knowledge of signal distribution by pdf or histogram. Also, through trial and error, we should execute exhaustive computer simulation for various bit sizes, hence obtain appropriate bit size while minimizing performance degradation. We carry out computer simulation to decide the optimized bit size of downlink traffic channel under AWGN and ITU-R M.1225 Veh-A channel model.

In recent literature on traffic scheduling, the combination of the two-dimensional discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC) and the Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP) is used to analyze the capacity of VoIP traffic in the cognitive radio system. The performance of the cognitive radio system solely depends on the accuracy of spectrum sensing techniques, the minimization of false alarms, and the scheduling of traffic channels. In this paper, we only emphasize the scheduling of traffic channels (i.e., traffic handling techniques for the primary user [PU] and the secondary user [SU]). We consider the following three different traffic models: the cross-layer analytical model, M/G/1(m) traffic, and the IEEE 802.16e/m scheduling approach to evaluate the performance of the VoIP services of the cognitive radio system from the context of blocking probability and throughput.

Lawful Interception (LI) 이란 합법적인 형태의 도청을 말하며, 전통적인 Wired tapping 뿐만 아니라, 최근의 복잡해진 인터넷 및 통신환경의 여러 형태의 데이터들에 대한 감청이 포함 될 수 있다. 미국과 유럽 중심으로 개발 된 감청 표준들은 3 세대 통신망 위주의 감청을 위한 표준들이 대부분이며, 802.16e 기술중의 하나인 모바일 WiMax 를 위한 합법적 감청 표준 개발은 진행 중에 있는 실정이다. 특히, Wibro 와 같이 모바일 유닛(MU)이 Radio Access Contro (RAS)와 Access Control Router (ACR)를 자유롭게 이동하는 상황에서 패킷들에 대한 지속적인 추적은 합법적 감청 분야의 중요한 이슈 중의 하나이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 국내의 802.16e/WiBro 네트워크 사용자의 증가 및 그에 따른 보안위협 발생의 가능성 증가에 따라 합법적인 감청을 위한 효과적인 아키텍처를 제안하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 아키텍처는 802.16e/WiBro 망내의 합법적 감청을 위하여 네트워크상에서의 효과적인 감청 관련 정보 교환을 위한 기본적인 메커니즘을 포함하고 있다.

This paper presents transmission parameters of DH(Dog-Horse) systems based on IEEE802.16e(WiBro) systems. DH requires higher uplink multimedia data rate, which is different from commercial WiBro systems. This paper designes some transmission parameters satisfying the DH system requirements and demonstrates link performance evaluation based on the parameters. For the transmission parameters, the number dwon/up link OFDM symbols are determined by 6/30, respectively. For reliable transmission of control signals, downlink modulation and coding rate are selected by QPSK, 1/2 coding rate and that of uplink is chosen by 16QAM 1/2 and 3/4 coding rate. Based on these parameters, computer simulations demonstrate the system performance of DH system.
