Direct-conversion RF front-end for 5-GHz WLAN is implemented in $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The front-end consists of a low noise amplifier, and low flicker noise down-conversion mixers. For the mixer, an inductor is included to resonate out parasitic tail capacitances in the transconductance stage at the operating frequency, thereby improves the flicker noise performance of the mixer, and the overall noise performance of the front-end. The receiver RF front-end has 6.5 dB noise figure, - 13 dBm input IP3, and voltage conversion gain of 20 dB with the power consumption of 30 mW.

This paper presents a hardware-efficient auto-correlation scheme for the synchronization of MIMO-OFDM based wireless local area network (WLAN) systems, such as IEEE 802.11n. Carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation for the frequency synchronization requires high complexity auto-correlation operations of many training symbols. In order to reduce the hardware complexity of the MIMO-OFDM synchronization, we propose an efficient correlation scheme based on time-multiplexing technique and the use of reduced samples while preserving the performance. Compared to a conventional architecture, the proposed architecture requires only 27% logic gates and 22% power consumption with acceptable BER performance loss.

The wireless medium is known to be time-varying which could affect and result to a poor network's performance. As a solution, an opportunistic scheduling and power control algorithm based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is proposed in this paper. The algorithm opportunistically exploits the channel condition for better network performance. Convex optimization problems were also formulated i.e. the overall transmission power of the system is minimized and the "net-utility" of he system is maximized. We have proven that an optimal transmission power vector may exist, satisfying the maximum power and SINR constraints at all receivers, thereby minimizing overall transmission power and maximizing net-utility of the system.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11a 무선 LAN에 적합한 16QAM/OFDM 시스템의 성능을 AWGN과 two-ray 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에서 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하고 성능 향상을 위한 방법으로 비터비 복호를 하는 길쌈 부호와 단일 탭의 LMS 등화기를 사용한다. 길쌈 부호를 사용하면 AWGN과 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에서 각각 경판정(hard-decision)은 2dB, 6 dB, 연판정(soft-decision)은 4.5 dB, 10 dB의 이득을 얻는다. 또한 다중 경로 페이딩 환경에서 경판정 비터비 복호와 단일 탭의 LMS 등화기를 함께 사용하는 경우에는 경판정 복호만을 사용하는 경우보다 5 dB 향상됨을 알 수 있다.

To enable the coexistence of Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) and Wi-Fi in 5 GHz unlicensed bands, a new channel access mechanism is proposed. Accounting for the fairness between LAA and Wi-Fi, the proposed mechanism finds the optimal transmission time ratio by adaptively adjusting the transmission durations for LAA and Wi-Fi. In addition, we propose a new analytical model for the distributed coordination function of IEEE 802.11 through some modifications of conventional analytical models for saturation and non-saturation loads. By computing the activity ratio of Wi-Fi, the proposed analytical model is able to control the time ratio between LAA and Wi-Fi, which is required for practical implementation of the proposed access mechanism. Through numerical simulations, the proposed channel access mechanism is compared with conventional methods in terms of throughput and utility.

현재 상용화되고 있는 무선 LAN(IEEE802 11b)과 블루투스는 ISM 2.4GHz 대역을 동시에 사용하기 때문에 주파수 간섭이 불가피하고, 무선 LAN과 블루투스간 주파수 간섭 현상으로 인해 성능저하가 발생하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 간섭 현상에 따른 통신기기들간의 오류발생을 최소화하기 위하여 블루투스와 무선 LAN등 근거리 통신시스템들간의 상호간섭에 대한 영향 및 블루투스와 무선 LAN, 가정용 전자제품 등에 관한 주파수 간섭 문제에 대한 특징을 분석하여 억제방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Multicast data communication is an efficient communication scheme, especially inmulti-hop ad hoc networks where the media access control (MAC) layer is based on one-hop broadcast from one source to multiple receivers. Compared to unicast, multicast over a wireless channel should be able to deal with varying channel conditions of multiple users and user mobility to provide good quality to all users. IEEE 802.11 does not support reliable multicast owing to its inability to exchange request-to-send/clear-to-send and acknowledgement packets with multiple recipients. Thus, several MAC layer protocols have been proposed to provide reliable multicast. However, additional overhead is introduced, as a result, which degrades the system performance. In this paper, we propose an efficient wireless multicast MAC protocol with small control overhead required for reliable multicast in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. We present analytical formulations of the system throughput and delay associated with the overhead.

Wireless sensor networks consist of sensor nodes which are expected to be battery-powered and are hard to replace or recharge. Thus, reducing the energy consumption of sensor nodes is an important design consideration in wireless sensor networks. For the implementation of an energy-efficient MAC protocol, a Sensor-MAC based on the IEEE 802.11 protocol, which has energy efficient scheduling, has been proposed. In this paper, we propose a Dynamic S-MAC that adapts dynamically to the network-traffic state. The dynamic S-MAC protocol improves the energy consumption of the S-MAC by changing the frame length according to the network-traffic state. Using an NS-2 Simulator, we compare the performance of the Dynamic S-MAC with that of the S-MAC protocol.
