As the Internet usage grows, people want to access the Internet while they are moving. To satisfy this requirement economically, IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs(WLANs) are rapidly deployed. In order to support mobility, WLANs must provide smooth handoff mechanism. Recent studies show, however, handoff delay of WLANs exceeds 300ms, most of which is due to slow scanning mechanism finding a new AP. With this handoff delay, current WLANs is not suitable to provide seamless realtime interactive services such as VoIP sevice. In this paper, we analyze the current handoff method of IEEE 802.11 and we propose a new handoff algorithm which can decrease time needed for searching a new AP and thus reduce overall handoff time. We show by simulation that the proposed algorithm has shorter handoff delay than current handoff method.

Wireless LAN system is evolving toward high-speed data transmission and more accurate channel estimation is necessarily required to improve communication performance. The PLCP preamble field in IEEE 802.11 based wireless MODEM consists of ten short symbols and two long symbols and is used for synchronization and channel estimation. The existing least square (LS) channel estimation is based on only two long training symbols. After estimating channel response separately by using each long training symbol, the final channel estimation is obtained by the average of each estimation. In this paper, a new channel estimation algorithm is presented to improve the performance of the existing LS channel estimation algorithm. From the fact that the short training symbol consists of 12 non-zero subcarriers, it gives us a clue of being able to additionally estimate at least one fourth of channel coefficients. The new LS algorithm performs channel estimation based on both two long training symbols and a short training symbol. The proposed LS algorithm shows a little bit performance improvement over the existing LS estimation and it will be able to be applied to the IEEE 802.11p WAVE system.

In this paper, a novel channel access scheme for the next-generation vehicle to anything (V2X) system based on IEEE 802.11p standard which is applied to recent connected car technologies is suggested and analyzed. The proposed scheme proposes a channel access method utilizing OFDMA multi-user transmission for IEEE 802.11p based system. In this paper, the authors examine geographical distance and network area performance of IEEE 802.11p system and the proposed scheme. Results of this research show that the proposed scheme is quite suitable for improving conventional V2X standards and systems. This paper also provides mathematical analysis and simulation results of the conventional IEEE 802.11p system and the proposed scheme.

IEEE 802.11 has employed distributed coordination function (DCF) adopting carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). To effectively resolve collisions, DCF uses binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm with three parameters, i.e., backoff stage, backoff counter and contention window. If a collision occurs, stations involving in the collision increase their backoff stages by one and double their contention window sizes. However, DCF with BEB wastes wireless resource when there are many contending stations. Therefore, in this paper, to enhance the performance of wireless LAN, we propose binary negative-exponential backoff (BNEB) algorithm which maintains a maximum contention window size during collisions and reduces a contention window size to half after successful transmission of a frame without retransmissions. For IEEE 802.11, 802.11a and 802.11b standards, we also compare the performance of DCF with BEB to that with BNEB.

We develop a new wireless link quality metric, ECOT(Estimated Channel Occupancy Time) that enables a high throughput route setup in wireless mesh networks. The key feature of ECOT is to be applicable to diverse mesh network environments where IEEE 802.11 MAC (Medium Access Control) variants are used. We take into account the exact operational features of 802.11 MAC protocols, such as 802.11 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function), 802.11e EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) with BACK (Block Acknowledgement), and 802.11n A-MPDU(Aggregate MAC Protocol Data Unit), and derive the integrated link metric based on which a high throughput end-to-end path is established. Through extensive simulation in random-topology settings, we evaluate the performance of proposed link metric and present that ECOT shows 8.5 to 354.4% throughput gain over existing link metrics.

IEEE 802.11 규격[1]은 2.4GHz 및 5GHz 대역에서 무선 근거리 접속 통신을 위한 국제 표준이다. 1997 년 2.4GHz 대역에서 1, 2 Mbps 의 속도를 지원하는 최초의 규격이 정의된 이래, 속도 개선을 위한 변복조 방식, 보안, QoS 등 다양한 요구 사항을 만족하기 위하여 표준이 지속적으로 개정되어 왔으며 2012 년 새로 개정된 표준이 발표된 바 있다. 특히, 최근 들어서 스마트폰의 무선랜 사용량이 폭발적으로 증가하고 무선랜 접속을 위한 핫스팟 역시 수가 크게 늘면서, 보안성을 유지하면서도 무선랜의 초기 연결접속 시간을 최소화(FILS; Fast Initial Link Setup)함으로써 무선랜 접속 요청 이용자 수에 확장성을 갖는 무선랜 규격을 제정할 필요성이 생기면서 IEEE 내에 802.11ai Task Group[3]이 승인되어 현재 표준화 작업을 진행중에 있다. IEEE 802.11 무선랜 규격에서 초기 연결접속 시간의 상당 부분을 네트워크 발견, 보안 접속, 인증 등에 소요하게 되어, IEEE 802.11ai에서는 보안성을 떨어뜨리지 않으면서도 빠르게 인증을 하기 위한 매커니즘에 대해 논의 중이다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11ai에서 논의 중인 "FILS를 위한 EAP/EAP-RP 기반의 빠른 인증" 기술에 대해 살펴보고, 이의 장단점을 분석하여 보다 개선된 형태의 빠른 인증 기법을 제안하고자 한다.
