A basic access method about IEEE 802.11 MAC layer protocol using IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs is the DCF thatis based on the CSMA/CA. But, cause of IEEE 802.11 MAC layer uses original backoff algorithm (exponential backoff method), when collision occurred, the size of contention windows increases the double size Also, a time of packet transmission delay increases and efficienty is decreased by original backoff scheme. In this paper, we have analyzed TCP packet transmission time of IEEE 802.11 MAC DCF protocol for wireless LANs a proposed enhanced backoff algorithm. It is considered the transmission time of transmission control protocol (TCP) packet on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in additive white gaussian noise (A WGN) and Rician fading channel. From the results, a proposed enhanced backoff algorithm produces a better performance improvement than an original backoff in wireless LAN environment. Also, in OFDM/quadrature phase shift keying channel (QPSK), we can achieve that the transmission time in wireless channel decreases as the TCP packet size increases and based on the data collected, we can infer the correlation between packet size and the transmission time, allowing for an inference of the optimal packet size in the TCP layer.

In this paper, we propose a scheme that improves the transmission performance of realtime multimedia data in wireless Local Area Network (LAN) environment, through the dynamical control of Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) period of the IEEE 802.11e HCCA Medium Access Control (MAC). The existing schedulers which determine the frame transmission time and its duration could not appropriately cope with the change of physical transmission rate, since the TXOP period has remained unchanged with the change of transmission rate of the wireless station. Our scheme is devised to keep the transmission performance of real-time multimedia data effectively unchanged by making TXOP period be extended when the transmission rate gets reduced. The proposed scheme is experimented along with IEEE 802.11e reference model using NCTUns simulator, which shows that the multimedia data is effectively delivered with the change of transmission rate as the distance between the wireless station and its access point increases.

The reliable multicast MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol is needed to guarantee the recipients' nonerroneous reception of the multicast data frames, which can be transmitted by the AP (Access Point) in infrastructure mode IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. Enhancing the BMMM (Batch Mode Multicast MAC) protocol, in the literature, the connectivity-based reliable multicast MAC protocol was proposed to reduce the RAK (Request for ACKnowledgement) frame transmissions and enhance the multicast MAC performance. However, the number of necessary RAK frame transmissions increases as the number of multicast recipients increases. To alleviate the problem of the larger number of RAK frame transmissions with the larger number of multicast recipients, we propose the clustering algorithm for partitioning the recipients into a small number of clusters, so that the recipients are connected each other within the same clusters. Numerical examples are presented to show the reliable multicast MAC performance improvement by the clustering algorithm.

In this paper, we propose to modify the IEEE 802.16 MAC protocol in order to allow the coexistence of IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16 wireless networks in shared bands. Our suggested protocol enables 802.16 WMAN to control WLAN devices for the coexistence. That is, in the downlink subframes(BS to SS), SS(Subscriber Station) prohibits WLAN to transmit by using CTS(Clear to Send) in order to protect it's burst. In the uplink subframes(SS to BS), on the other hand, BS(Base Station) sends CTS to block WLAN's communications. Our proposals enables the coexistence between WLAN and WMAN, and simulation results show that our protocols enhance the throughput of the entire system.

The traditional sensor network is composed of the cable and the sensor of high price, when collecting a sensing data, there is a weak point which is not pliability. WSN uses the equipment of low price, it will be able to collect the data which is diverse from various node. In this paper we composed coal mining topology which used IEEE802.15.4 MAC in Korea Coal Corporation site. We proposed models for the mobility support of the work manager from the coal mining, we selected the optimum model through simulation experiments. When applying the WSN in the Korea Coal Corporation and other mines, this result can be used as a basis.

In this paper, MAC algorithm for the IEEE 802.11 DCF improving the performance is proposed and analyzed by simulation. The MAC of IEEE 802.11 WLAN to control data transmission uses two control methods called DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) and PCF(Point Coordination Function). The DCF controls the transmission based on CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance), that decides a random backoff time with the range of CW(Contention Window) for each station. Normally, each station increase the CW to double after collision, and reduces the CW to the minimum after successful transmission. The DCF shows excellent performance relatively in situation that competition station is less but has a problem that performance is fallen from throughput and delay viewpoint in situation that competition station is increased. This paper proposes an enhanced DCF algorithm that increases the CW to maximal CW after collision and decreases the CW smoothly after successful transmission in order to reduce the collision probability by utilizing the current status information of WLAN. To prove efficiency of proposed algorithm, a lots of simulations are conducted and analyzed.

In this paper, we propose a performance improving MAC algerian for the IEEE 802.11 DCF. WLAN based IEEE 802.11 uses two control methods called 'Distributed Coordination Function(UF)' and 'Point Coordination Function(PCF)'. The nF controls the Urnsmission based on carrier sense multiple access with collision detection(CSMA/CA), that decides a random backoff time with the range of contention window for each terminal. Normally, each terminal the CW double after collision, and reduces the CW to the minimum after successful transmission. This paper proposes an enhanced DCF algorithm that decreases the CW smoothly after successful transmission in order to reduce the collision Probability by utilizing the current status information of WLAN. We also analyze the throughput and delay performance for the unsaturated case mathematically. Simulation results show that our algorithm enhances the saturation throughput of WLAN. They also coincide well with the analytical results.

Wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standard are widely spread for use nowadays. Traffic which are conveyed over the WLANs change rapidly from normal data such a Email and Web pages, to multimedia data of high resolution video and voice. To meet QoS (Quality of Service) required by these multimedia traffic, the IEEE 802 committee recently has developed a new standard, IEEE 802.11e. IEEe 802.11.e contains two MAC mechanisms for providing QoS: EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) and HCCA (HCF Controlled Channel Access). Using these standardized MAC mechanisms as a building platform, various admission control mechanisms can be combined to offer QoS gurantees for multimedia traffic. This paper surveys these research efforts.

오늘날 인프라 무선 랜은 많은 사용자들이 사용하는 중요한 인터넷 접속 기술이다. 따라서, IEEE 802.11 MAC의 성능분석은 지난 몇 년간 무선 랜 연구의 중요한 테마 중의 하나였다. 본고에서는 프로토콜 계층 사이에 존재하는 상호 의존성의 중요성에 주목하며, IEEE 802.11 기반의 무선 랜이 갖는 성능 특성에 관하여 알아본다. 먼저, 무선 노드의 개수가 많아짐에 따라 무선 랜 시스템의 처리율이 감소한다는 IEEE 802.11 MAC DCF 분석 결과를 설명한다. 여기에 MAC 계층과 다른 계층 사이의 상호 작용에 주목하여, 무선 랜의 성능이 어떤 특성을 갖는지 알아본다. 물리 계층에 존재하는 무선 노드들 사이의 불평등성에 대해서 설명하고, 그로 인하여 노드들 간의 혼잡 수준이 떨어지고 경쟁 기반의 DCF 처리율이 혼잡 상태에서도 서서히 감소하게 되는 것을 설명한다. 또한, 전송 계층 프로토콜로서 TCP를 사용하는 경우의 무선 랜 성능에 관하여 알아본다. TCP는 실제로 무선 채널의 경쟁에 참여하는 노드를 $2{\sim}3$개 정도로 제한하는 효과가 있어서, TCP를 사용하는 무선 랜의 성능은 무선 노드의 개수에 상관없이 안정적인 것을 설명한다.
