This paper examines the use of a wireless Fieldbus based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol. The superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 is applied to a transmission scheme of real-time mixed data. The transmission and bandwidth allocation scheme are proposed for real-time communication using a superframe. The proposed wireless Fieldbus protocol is able to transmit three types of data (periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time messages), and guarantee realtime transmission simultaneously within a limited timeframe.

This paper describes the design and the verification of IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN 2.4GHz Physical layer for Ubiquitous Sensor Network(USN). We designed the Carrier Frequency Offset(CFO) compensation satisfied the frequency tolerance of IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN and the adaptive matched filter that re-setting of the threshold for the symbol synchronization of the various USN environment. The multiplications is reduced 1/16 by this method each other at i, q phases and has 0.5dB performance improvement in detection probability. Proposed baseband system is designed with verilog HDL and implemented using FPGA prototype board.

To improve the accuracy and enhance the applicability of existing models, this paper proposes a generalized Markov chain model for IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) under the widely adopted assumption of ideal transmission channel. The IEEE 802.11 DCF is modeled by a two dimensional Markov chain, which takes into account unsaturated traffic, backoff freezing, retry limits, the difference between maximum retransmission count and maximum backoff exponent, and limited buffer size based on the M/G/1/K queuing model. We show that existing models can be treated as special cases of the proposed generalized model. Furthermore, simulation results validate the accuracy of the proposed model.

This paper explores the throughput performance of CSMA/CA-based DCF protocol over frequency-selective, slow Ricean fading channels with both the $E_{b}/N_{o}$ and BER at the MAC layer in the 802.1 la wireless LAN. By exploring the throughput of DCF protocol with the data rate of 6Mbps, 12 Mbps, 24 Mbps and 54 Mbps, we find the fact that the higher the $E_{b}/N_{o}$ be and the less the BER be, the higher the throughput be.

Scalable video coding (SVC) encodes multimedia data into a base layer and enhancement layers to cope with variable network conditions in an adaptive manner. In SVC, enhancement layers can be decoded only when the base layer is successively received. However, existing works on SVC transmissions in IEEE 802.11 WLANs do not fully investigate this characteristic and thus their performance can be degraded. In this paper, we propose a SVC-aware retransmission (SAR) scheme in IEEE 802.11 WLANs. The SAR scheme applies different retransmission policies for base and enhancement layers by obtaining the optimal number of frames to be retransmitted. As a result, the SAR scheme can reduce unnecessary retransmissions and minimize the transmission latency. Simulation results demonstrate that the SAR scheme can reduce unnecessary data transmission by 12.6% and the transmission latency by 6.6~19.1% compared to conventional retransmission schemes.

Channel estimation schemes are proposed for Multiple Input-Multiple output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) systems based on the physical layer specification of the IEEE 802.1 la. By combining the space-time block coding(STBC)/ space-frequency block coding(SFBC) techniques with the transform domain interpolation, the proposed algorithms achieve more accurate channel coefficients for the MIMO channels such that improve the BER performance. The performance improvements of the proposed algorithms are evaluated by simulations under the various multipath fading channel environments and various transmission rates.

In this paper, BER performance and error convergence speed of layered LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) decoder which supports IEEE 802.16e WiMAX standard is analyzed, and optimal design conditions for hardware implementation are derived. A LDPC decoder is modeled and simulated at AWGN channel with QPSK modulation by Matlab. The parity check matrix(PCM) for IEEE 802.16e standard which has block lengths of 576, 1440, 2304 and code rates of 1/2, 2/3A, 2/3B, 3/4A, 3/4B, 5/6 are used. Fixed-point simulation results show that fixed-point bit-width should be more than 8 bits for acceptable decoding performance.

The localization accuracy in wireless sensor networks using ranging-based localization algorithms is greatly influenced by the ranging accuracy. Software implementation of HAL(Hardware Abstraction Layer) and MAC(Medium Access Layer) should seamlessly deliver the raw performance of ranging-based localization provided by hardware capability fully to the applications without degrading the raw performance. This paper presents the design and implementation of the software stack for IEEE 802.15.4a which supports normal ranging mode of the Nanotron's NA5TR1 RF chip. The experiment results shows that average ranging error rate with our implementation is 24.5% for the normal mode of the SDS-TWR ranging scheme.

The LDPC(Low-Density Parity-Check) code, which is one of the channel encoding methods in IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN standard, has superior error-correcting capabilities. Since the hardware complexity of LDPC decoder is high, it is very important to take into account the trade-offs between hardware complexity and decoding performance. In this paper, the effects of LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio) approximation on the performance of MSA(Min-Sum Algorithm)-based LDPC decoder are analyzed, and some optimal design conditions are derived. The parity check matrix with block length of 1,944 bits and code rate of 1/2 in IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard is used. In the case of $BER=10^{-3}$, the $E_b/N_o$ difference between LLR bit-widths (6,4) and (7,5) is 0.62 dB, and $E_b/N_o$ difference for iteration cycles 6 and 7 is 0.3 dB. The simulation results show that optimal BER performance can be achieved by LLR bit-width of (7,5) and iteration cycle of 7.

초고속 무선인터넷에 대한 요구가 급성장하면서 기존의 무선랜(WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network) 시스템이 초고속 무선인터넷의 기반구조로써 자리잡고 있음은 주지의 사실이다. 그러나 합리적인 가격과 편리성에도 불구하고 보안의 취약성이 문제로 남아있었다. 이 문제의 해결을 위한 노력의 결실로써 IEE 802.11i 표준은 지난 2004년 6월 24일에 IEEE802 SEC(Sponsor Executive Committee)의 투표를 통과하여 2004년 7월에 IEEE 표준으로 확정되었다[2]. 또한 신속한 국제표준화를 위해서 ISO/IEC JTC1 Fast Track DIS(Draft International Standard)로 상정되어 2004년 12월 8일부터 최종 승인을 위한 투표를 진행 중이다[5]. 본 고에서는 IEEE 802.11i 무선랜 보안 표준이 담고 있는 인증 방식, 키 교환 방식 및 암호 알고리즘에 대하여 분석해 보고자 한다.
