As a standard of WMNs, IEEE 802.11s supports two kinds of MAC algorithm: a mandatory EDCA used by IEEE 802.11e and an optional MCCA. While EDCA classifies traffic according to four Access Categories (AC) and offer differentiated service using a classified priority, MCCA can guarantee the specific bandwidth of users with a TDMA-style bandwidth reservation scheme between mesh routers. In case that a flow is VBR traffic of a multimedia application, MCCA has disadvantage that the reserved bandwidth does not be used entirely, though it guarantees required bandwidth of users and fairness using bandwidth reservation with neighbors' node. In this paper, we showed a problem that is wastes the reserved bandwidth when MCCA is enabled and proposed a new scheduling algorithm to prevent waste of bandwidth and to improve network utilization effectively, named Resource Sharing Round Robin (RSRR) scheduling. Finally we showed simulation results that performance of a proposed RSRR is better than the legacy MCCA through NS-2 simulation.

There have been many studies on IEEE 802.15.4 for home area networks(HAN) in Smart Grids. Existing unslotted or slotted IEEE 802.15.4 has almost not met strict conditions of the U.S. Department Of Energy(DOE). This study proposed a improved algorithm that reduces collisions, delay time and changes in the delay time. For this purpose, numbers were given to nodes to make the transmission in the order of the node numbers. Since the probability of the occurrence of collisions would decrease compared to random transmission if the nodes were given numbers, Backoff time was set at 0. In the proposed Numbered-Unslotted-ZeroBackoff algorithm, when the packet size was 133 octets and less than 180 packets per second occurred, it was found that packet delivery ratio was over 99.99%, and that all the maximum delay, the mean delay and the minimum delay were less than 0.02 seconds. This paper could confirm that the algorithm proposed in this study met the strict conditions of the DOE.

Please WBAN(Wireless Body Area Networks) is wireless communication of within 3 m radius from inside and outside of the body. WBAN is many uses IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol for WBAN MAC protocol requirements. IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol applies GTS(Guaranteed Time Slot) allocation scheme for guarantee packet delivery of application which requests QoS(Quality of Service). However, GTS allocation scheme of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol uses FIFS(First In First Service) queueing. So it reduces data transmission reliability and has many problems. Therefore, IEEE 802.15.4 applies not WBAN MAC protocol for emergency data transmission. In this paper, we proposes a priority based MAC protocol for emergency data transmission in wireless body area networks. the proposal MAC protocol sets priority the data. So GTS reqeuest throughput of emergency data increasing and GTS allocation delay of emergency data decreasing.

Recently, various application services in wireless sensor networks are more considered than before, and thus reliable and secure communication of sensor network is turning out as one of essential issues. This paper studies such communication in IEEE 802.15.4 based sensor network. We present IMHRS (IEEE 802.15.4 MAC-based Hybrid hop-by-hop Reliability Scheme) employing EHHR (Enhanced Hop-by-Hop Reliability), which uses Hop-cache and Hop-ack and ALC (Adaptive Link Control), which considers link status and packet type. Also, by selecting security suite depending on network and application type, energy efficiency is considered based on HAS (Hybrid Adaptive Security) Framework. The presented schemes are evaluated by simulations and experiments. Besides, the prototype system is developed and tested to show the potential efficiency.

Promoting quality of streaming service in wireless networks has attracted intensive research over the years. Instable wireless channel condition causes high transmission delay and packet loss, due to fading and interference. Therefore, they lead to degrade quality of video streaming service. The IEEE 802.11 Working Group is currently working on a new standard called IEEE 802.11e to support quality of service in WLANs. And several schemes were proposed in order to guarantee QoS. However, they are not adaptable to network condition. Accordingly, they suffered video quality degradation, due to buffer overflow or packet loss. In this paper, to promote quality of video streaming service in WLANs, we propose a cross-layer architecture based on IEEE 802.11e EDCA model. Our cross-layer architecture provides differentiated transmission mechanism of IEEE 802.11e EDCA based on priority of MPEG-4 video frames and adaptively controls the transmission rate by dropping video frames through the efficient bandwidth estimation based on distinction of each AC. Through the simulation, proposed scheme is shown to be able to improve end-to-end qualify for video streaming service in WLANs.

Several nv6 mobility support protocols for mobile Internet services are proposed in IETP : Mobile Ipv6, Hierarchical Mobile Ipv6, and Fast Handovers over Mobile Ipv6. Recently, IEEE 802.11 network has also been widely deployed in public areas for mobile Internet services. In the near future, IPv6 mobility support over IEEE 802.11 network is expected to be a key function to actualize the All If-based mobile various services. For appropriate application of these protocols, the IPv6 mobility support protocols should be analyzed according to their characteristics in terms of signaling, handover latency, lost packets, and required buffer sire as well as the impact of lower layer such as IEEE 802.11 network. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the protocols over IEEE 802.11 network. We define a packet-level traffic model, a network system model, and a mobility model. From these models, we construct a framework for the performance analysis. We also make cost functions to formalize each protocol's performance. Lastly, we analyze the effect of varying parameters used to show diverse numerical results, and compare with each other. From the analysis results, it is concluded that each Protocol has contrary or contrastive advantages with other Protocols, so there is no protocol that holds a dominant position.

One of the major trends of automotive networking architecture is the introduction of automotive Ethernet. Ethernet is already used in single automotive applications (e.g. to connect high-data-rate sources as video cameras), it is expected that the ongoing standardization at IEEE (IEEE802.3bw - 100BASE-T1, respectively IEEE P802.3bp - 1000BASE-T1) will lead to a much broader adoption in future. Those applications will not be limited to simple point-to-point connections, but may affect Electric/Electronic(EE) Architectures as a whole. It is agreed that IP based traffic via Ethernet could be secured by application of well-established IP security protocols (e.g., IPSec, TLS) combined with additional components like, e.g., automotive firewall or IDS. In the case of safety and real-time related applications on resource constraint devices, the IP based communication is not the favorite option to be used with complicated and performance demanding TLS or IPSec. Those applications will be foreseeable incorporate Layer-2 based communication protocols as, e.g., currently standardized at IEEE[13]. The present paper reflects the state-of-the-art communication concepts with respect to security and identifies architectural challenges and potential solutions for future Ethernet Switch-based EE-Architectures. It also gives an overview and provide insights into the ongoing security relevant standardization activities concerning automotive Ethernet. Furthermore, the properties of non-automotive Ethernet security mechanisms as, e.g., IEEE 802.1AE aka. MACsec or 802.1X Port-based Network Access Control, will be evaluated and the applicability for automotive applications will be assessed.

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, the session hijacking and the Man in the Middle attack due to the absence of AP authentication. In this paper, we propose a WLAN secure system which can offer a robust secure communication and a user authentications with the IEEE 802.1x framework. The user authentication on the WLAN secure system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication severs, 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 doing secure communication between clients and the AP by the Dynamic WEP key distribution.

IEEE 802.15.4 기반의 무선 PAN(WPAN: Wireless Personal Area Network)환경에서 기존에 제안된 전송 전력 제어(TPC: Transmission Power Control) 알고리즘은 수신 신호의 세기를 기반으로 반복 전송을 통하여 적합한 최소 전송 전력을 결정하는 방법으로 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 방법은 통신 채널의 변화가 잦은 지역에서는 재전송률이 높아지고 전송 품질이 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 IEEE 80215.4에서 제공하는 링크 품질 지표(LQI: Link quality indicator)값을 바탕으로 최소 전송 전력을 결정하여 재전송률을 줄이고, 통신 채널 변화에 보다 능동적으로 대응할 수 있는 새로운 전송 진력 제어 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

A distributed real-time system that is being wed now is usually divided into three level : higher level, middle level, and lower level. The higher level network is usually called an information network, the middle level is called a control network, and the lower level is called a field network or a divice network. This dissertation suggests and implements a middle level network which is called PICNET-NP (Plant Implementation and Control Network for Nuclear Power Plant). PICNET-NP is based partly on IEEE 802.4 token-passing bus access method and partly on IEEE 802.3 physical layer. For this purpose a new interface, a physical layer service translator, is introduced. A control network using this method is implemented and applied to a distributed real-time system.
