Efforts for standardization of medium access control (MAC) protocol in IEEE802.11e have been made to support quality of service (QoS) in IEEE802.11e MAC protocol. Enhanced disoibuted coordination function (EDCF) of 802.11e MAC protocol is modified to support QoS for packets that have differentiated priority. However, EDCF still has the problem of throughput optimization and priority support. Therefore, we have proposed a scheme called adaptive EDCF for both supporting priority of packets and throughput optimization. We have derived the relation between the number of nodes and contention window size for throughput optimization. Based on the analytic results, we have evaluated the performance of the proposed scheme using OPNET simulations. The simulation results show that using the proposed scheme can improve the overall throughput regardless of the number of nodes and the decrement of the throughput with increasing the number of nodes can be alleviated. Additionally, we have shown that the adaptive EDCF can support priority of packets more effectively than existing EDCF.

무선 인터넷 사용자와 멀티미디어 서비스의 급증으로 IEEE 802.11 WG에서는 사용자에게 QoS를 지원하기 위해 기존의 MAC 프로토콜을 향상시키고 기존의 IEEE 802.11과 호환성을 가지는 IEEE 802.11e 표준을 제정하였다. 따라서 기존의 MAC 네트워크 카드를 가진 사용자도 새로운 QoS Basic Service Set(QBSS)에 문제없이 접속할 수 있다. 하지만 IEEE 802.11e가 지원되는 무선 AP가 있는 QBSS 네트워크 내에 기존의 802.11 station은 요구하는 QoS를 지원받지 못할 뿐더러 전체적인 네트워크 성능의 저하도 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 MAC을 가지고 있는 station도 Virtual Queue Middleware 통해 QoS를 보장받고 전체적인 네트워크 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제시하고자한다.

When the PCF (Point Coordinated Function) MAC protocol is combined with the frame aggregation method to enhance the MAC performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, the formulae for the optimal frame aggregation level for best PCF MAC performance were derived in our previous study. We extend the formulae for the PCF protocol to derive the optimal frame aggregation level for the connectivity-based multipolling MAC protocol in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. By simulations, we compare the performances of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs with the optimal and random frame aggregation levels. Compared with the random frame aggregation level, the optimal frame aggregation level significantly improves the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.

현재 무선 랜 기반의 WMN은 도심지와 같은 통화량이 많은 지역('핫존')에서 서비스 되고 있다. 다수 핫존을 서비스하는 엑세스 포인트(AP)별로 인터넷 망에 유선 접속할 경우, 망 접속 비용이 높지만, WMN 기술을 이용하면 핫존별로 산재한 트래픽의 집중을 통해 자원을 대폭 줄일 수 있다. 또한, IEEE 802.11 표준은 가용한 채널이 다양한 직교주파수로 되어있어 IEEE 802.11b에서는 2.4GHz에서 간섭 없는 3개의 채널을 제공하고 IEEE 802.11a는 5GHz에서 간섭 없는 12개의 채널을 제공한다. 근접한 access point (AP)주변에는 다른 채널을 할당함으로써 근접한 AP사이에서의 간섭을 막을 수 있다. IEEE 802.11 표준은 동시 사용에 1개의 채널만 사용하게 되어있어 가용한 채널을 동시에 간섭 없이 사용함으로써 전체적인 throuput을 증대 시킬 수 있어 IEEE 802.11 표준 기반의 MAC 프로토콜의 수정만으로 상, 하 레이어의 수정 없이 향상된 멀티채널을 위한 MAC 프로토콜을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose a design methodology of IEEE 802.11n MAC which aims to achieve the higher throughput of more than 100Mbps in downlink as measured at the MAC-SAP and present the implementation results of MAC using the proposed design methodology. With our proposed methodology, different from the conventional design flow which has the separate codes for the protocol validation, for the network simulation, and for the system implementation, the unified code can be used for the network simulation and the implementation of software and hardware. Our MAC architecture is partitioned into two parts, Upper-layer MAC and Lower-layer MAC, in order to achieve the high efficiency for the new features of IEEE 802.11n standard. They are implemented in software and hardware respectively. The implemented MAC is tested on ARM based FPGA board.

WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) standard is currently developing with increased wireless internet demand. Though existing IEEE 802.11e demonstrates that data rates exceed 54Mbps with assuring QoS(Quality of Service), wireless internet users can't be satisfied with real communication system. After IEEE 802.11e system, Study trends of IEEE 802.11n show two aspects, enhanced system throughput using aggregation among packets in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, and better data rates adapting MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) in PHY(Physical) layer. But, no one demonstrates IEEE 802.11n system performance results considering MAC and PHY connection. Therefore, this paper adapts MIMO in PHY layer for IEEE 802.11n system based on A-MPDU(Aggregation-MAC Protocol Data Unit) method in MAC layer considering MAC and PHY connection. SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) method with WLAN MIMO TGn Channel is used to analyze MIMO. Consequently, Simulation results show enhanced throughput and data rates compared to existing system. Also, We use Ns-2(Network Simulator-2) considering MAC and PHY connection for reality.
