The design of an efficient scheduler is a key design factor in IEEE 802.16m systems, in order to support services with various QoS smoothly. Although conventional studies of schedules have been suggested, those had problems that are not able to satisfy the delay condition and make the through-put declined, because they only focused on a specific action scenario rather than reflecting practical action scenarios which have real-time and non-real-time traffics variously. In this paper, an efficient uplink scheduling algorithm is proposed for IEEE 802.16m system by introducing the concepts of Virtual Time(VT) and Virtual Finish Time(VFT) based priority determination, and separate buffers for each QoS class in the mobile terminal. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme had satisfied the delay requirement of real-time services even with improved throughput performance compared to conventional methods.

In this paper, we propose a new estimation method of time offset, frequency offset, and signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) using the synchronization channel preamble to provide IEEE 802.16.1a based talk-around direct communications (TDC). The proposed scheme estimates the time offset and frequency offset both in the time domain and in the frequency domain considering the preamble structure. In addition, it improves the estimation accuracy by combining the estimated values in two domains taking into account TDC synchronization scenarios. Through numerical simulations in the TDC channel environments, the performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with those of existing techniques such as the time domain estimation and the frequency domain estimation.

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.

In this paper, an analytic model of a sleep mode operation in the IEEE 802.16e is investigated. A mobile subscriber station(MSS) goes to sleep mode after negotiations with the base station(BS) and wakes up periodically for a short interval to check whether there is downlink traffic to it. If the arrival of traffic is notified, an MSS returns to wake mode. Otherwise, it again enters increased sleep interval which is double as the previous one. In order to consider the situation more practically, we propose the sleep mode starting threshold, during which MSS should await packets before it enters the sleep mode. By modifying the M/G/l with multiple vacations model, energy consumption ratio(ECR) and average packet response time are calculated. Our analytic model provides potential guidance in determining the optimal parameters values such as sleep mode starting threshold, minimal sleep and maximal sleep window.

In this paper, the effects of HARQ feedback error are evaluated in IEEE 802.16m system when the HARQ and ARQ interactions that utilize the HARQ feedback information is used. Also, the HARQ and ARQ interaction scheme considering HARQ feedback errors are proposed. The HARQ and ARQ interaction scheme improve the system throughput by using the HARQ feedback information instead of the ARQ feedback message, which reduce retransmission time. However, errors in the HARQ feedback information generate severe performance degradation. Especially, the local NAK errors between HARQ feedback error critically degrade the performance, because the local NAK errors lead the loss of ARQ blocks. We propose a channel state-based schemes for HARQ and ARQ interactions to mitigate the throughput degradation due to HARQ feedback errors. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the throughput and the delay performance.

In this paper, a new frequency offset estimation method in OFDM system is suggested. To measure fractional part of frequency offset, the repetition feature of cyclic prefix and that of training sequence is adopted. Both method shows relatively large frequency offset estimation error under low SNR circumstances, but this error can be greatly reduced by joint measurement of cyclic prefix and inversely repeated training symbol such as primary advanced preamble (PA-preamble) of IEEE 802.16m IMT-Advanced WiMax system. In this paper, the performance of suggested frequency offset estimation method is verified in IEEE 802.16m IMT Advanced WiMax system, using its PA-preamble and cyclic prefixes of A-preambles.

The mobile station which is about to do handover in IEEE 802.16e networks scans its neighboring base station channels to decide its next target base station. However, due to the lack of location information of its subscribers, the serving base station cannot provide any reliable candidate channel which is actually attachable by the scanning mobile stations, which makes the mobile station suffer from the long scanning time. Sometimes, long scanning time may cause the degradation of quality of service due to repeatable scan-duration or failure to start the handover procedure in time. To overcome these problems, in this paper, we propose a new protocol so called fast group scanning scheme, in which multiple mobile stations form a group to scan their neighboring base station channels simultaneously. Main contribution of this proposal is to find and decide a reliable target base station within a short scanning time. The fast group scanning scheme can be deployed to the cell network of the serving base station with a dynamic neighboring base station list management.

The IEEE 802.1x standard provides an architectural framework which can be used various authentication methods. But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS(Denial of Service), the session hijacking and the MiM(Man in the Middle) attack due to caused by structural of authentication protocol. In this paper, we propose a WLAN system which can offer safety communication by complement of IEEE 802.1x vulnerabilities. The WLAN system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication servers, clients and the AP using PKI and prevents an illegal user from intervening in communication to disguise oneself as a client, the AP or authentication servers. Also, we guarantee the safety of the communication by the Dynamic WEP key distribution between clients and the AP.
