Recently there are increasing needs for Internet and various kinds of contents. These traffics for various contents need more amount of data to provide high-quality information and require various QoS depending on the characteristics of contents. However, current Internet service supports BE (Best Effort) service only, therefore IntServ (Integrated Service) scheme and DiffServ (Differentiated Service) scheme are represented to support QoS in IP layer. This paper describes new scheme that provides QoS taking into account the traffic characteristics over Mobile IPv6 network based on IEEE 802.11e by decreasing signal process time using traffic class of DiffServ and MAC and evaluates the performance through computer simulation.

In this paper, CSMA/CA with bridging is analyzed which is an added function of relaying directly between access points when wireless terminals can not communicate each other, and is also compared to the CSMA/CA without bridging which is IEEE 802.11 MAC standard. Through simulations, it is shown that the two methods have the similar performance in terms of the throughput but the bridging CSMA/CA improves the delay compared to the non-bridging CSMA/CA.

Ad hoc network는 무선 네트워크 환경에서 에서 AP(Access Point)와 같은 infrastructure없이 STA(Station)들끼리 통신이 가능한 형태의 network이다. Ad hoc network에서는 전력 관리가 중요한 문제들 가운데 하나인데 표준에서는 동기식 전력 관리에 관하여서만 정의하고 있다. 동기식 전력 관리의 경우에는 STA들 사이에 동기가 맞아야 잘 동작한다는 점과 이러한 동기화를 위한 기술적 어려움 그리고 STA들 사이에 독립적인 전력관리가 불가능하다는 점을 단점으로 가지게 된다. 이러한 점을 해결하기 위하여 일반적인 비동기식 전력 관리 방법을 적용시키게 되면 energy saving 측면에서는 효율적이지만 throughput이 현저하게 감소하게 되는 문제가 발생하게 되는데 본 논문에서는 이러한 정을 해결하기 위하여 새로운 비동기식 전력 관리 프로토콜을 제안한다.

In ubiquitous environments, the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) protocol is a typical service used to improve the quality of life for humans. The Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) protocol, a part of ITS, needs further study with regards to its support for high reliability, high speed mobility, data transmission efficiency, and so on. The IEEE 802.11 standard provides a high data rate channel, but it was designed for peer-to-peer network protocols. IEEE 802.11p also provides a high data rate channel, however, it only facilitates communication between roadside and on-board equipment. A VANET has characteristics that enable its topology to change rapidly; it can also be expanded to a multi-hop range network during communication. Therefore, the VANET protocol needs a way to infer the current topology information relating to VANET equipped vehicles. In this paper, we present the Multi-Beacon MAC Protocol, and propose a method to resolve the problem of beacon collisions in VANET through the use of this Multi-Beacon MAC protocol. Evaluation of the performance of Multi-Beacon MAC protocol by means of both mathematical analyses and simulation experiments indicate that the proposed method can effectively reduce beacon collisions and improve the throughput and the delay between vehicles in VANET systems.

Sensor nodes have various energy and computational constraints because of their inexpensive nature and ad-hoc method of deployment. Considerable research has been focused at overcoming these deficiencies through faster media accessing, more energy efficient routing, localization algorithms and system design. Our research attempts to provide a method of improvement MAC performance in these issues. We show that traditional carrier-sense multiple access(CSMA) protocols like IEEE 802.11 do not handle the first constraint adequately, and do not take advantage of the second property, leading to degraded latency and throughput as the network scales in size, We present more efficient method of a medium access for real-time wireless sensor networks. Proposed MAC protocol is a randomized CSMA protocol, but unlike previous legacy protocols, does not use a time-varying contention window from which a node randomly picks a transmission slot. To reduce the latency for the delivery of event reports, it carefully decides a fixed-size contention window, non-uniform probability distribution of transmitting in each slot within the window. We show that it can offer up to several times latency reduction compared to legacy of IEEE 802.11 as the size of the sensor network scales up to 256 nodes using widely used simulator ns-2. We, finally show that proposed MAC scheme comes close to meeting bounds on the best latency achievable by a decentralized CSMA-based MAC protocol for real-time wireless sensor networks which is sensitive to latency.

In this paper, to support a QoS level appropriate for the user in Wireless Home Network based Wireless LAN, we propose a QoS support architecture which includes Wired Network and Wireless Network. Actually, an important problem to support QoS in Wireless Home Network is approached not only on a MAC level in Wireless LAN but on a integrated method to combine Network layer with Datalink layer. Applying the integrated QoS support method. It is possible to provide QoS support architecture using a Wireless LAN terminal with a minimum changing, the proposed scheme has advantage of QoS support method, which is more superior than a existing scheme to support QoS in MAC level of Wireless LAN. Simulation results that overall performance of the proposed scheme can be improved.

In a wireless LAN environment, security is the most important. Security of 802.11 standard has many vulnerabilities of the network attack. IEEE has created mechanisms to security for this vulnerability. But the vulnerabilities is characteristic of broadcast in the air in wireless LAN, it is more disclosure then other network environments. In a wireless LAN environment, it can be accessed to the wireless LAN after authentication. Authentication process is one of most important because of the first security step. However, in the authentication process is not mentioned in the method of reducing the disclosure maximum fundamental. Therefore, in this research, the vulnerability of 802.11 are presented and how to do de-authentication in 802.11.

In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol, namely DM-MMAC (Doze Mode Multi-Channel MAC) for ad hoe wireless networks which can utilize multiple channels effectively, thereby enhancing the network throughput considerably. Basically, the IEEE 802.11 specification allows for the use of multiple channels available at the physical layer, but its MAC protocol is designed only for a single channel with the fatal drawback, so called multi-channel hidden terminal problem in multi-channel environments. In this vein, several multi-channel MAC protocols have been proposed, but most of them demonstrate the performance problem that its throughput drastically decreases as the number of mobile hosts residing in a given network increases with small number of available channels. In this work, we tried to improve the performance of multi-channel MAC protocols in terms of network throughput as well as power saving effects by simplifying the channel assignment and channel capturing procedures and reducing the possibility of collisions between mobile hosts.

DOCSIS and IEEE 802.16 define the usage and element of a MAP which is uplink control message. Standards does not include the details of MAP size and the number of contention slots affecting the performance of MAC protocols for DOCSIS and IEEE 802.16. In this paper, we analyzed the performance of throughput and access delay according to the MAP size and contention slot size. Based on the analytical results, we found the optimal MAP size and the number of contention slots. We found that the protocol shows best performance when the MAP size is 2msec and the number of contention slots is 8. The simulation results can apply to the network system parameters. The simulator can be used to optimize the system parameters in cable network, BWA and WiBro.

무선 Ad Hoc 네트워크 환경에서 기존 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜에서 Omni-Directional 안테나를 이용하여 방식으로부터 자원의 활용을 늘이기 위해서 Directional 안테나를 이용한다. Directional 안테나의 사용으로 기존 802.11 MAC 프로토콜에 비해 Spatial reuse가 증가하고, 안테나의 높은 이득과 간섭의 감소, 그리고 전송범위의 증가의 장점을 갖는다. 그러나, Directional 안테나를 이용함으로서 New Hidden Problem, Deafness, 그리고 Capture 등과 같은 문제점이 발생하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 파악하고, 이를 해결하는 방안들을 분석하고 각 해결방안들에 대한 성능을 비교평가한다.
