Nowadays, most widely used transport protocol, TCP is tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. TCP performs reliable end-to-end packet transmission under the assumption of low packet error rate. However, networks with wireless links suffer from significant losses due to high error rate and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by invoking congestion control and avoidance algorithms, resulting in inefficient use of network bandwidth and degraded end-to-end performance in that system. To solve this problem, several methods have been proposed. In this paper, we analyse and compare these methods and propose appropriate model for improving TCP performance in the network with wireless links. This model uses TCP selective acknowledgement (SACK) option between TCP ends, and also uses caching method at the base station. Our simulation results show that using TCP SACK option with base station caching significantly reduces unnecessary duplicate retransmissions and recover packet losses effectively.

In the underwater communications, the acoustic channel is in poor communication conditions, such as long propagation delay, narrow bandwidth, and high bit-error rate. For these bad acoustic channels, we propose an efficient automatic repeat request (ARQ) for multi-hop underwater network by using the concepts of concurrent bi-directional transmission, multiple sub-packets, and overhearing data packet instead of the acknowledgement signal. Our results show that the proposed ARQ significantly reduces the transmission latency especially in high BER compared with the existing Stop and Wait ARQ.

We propose short packet communication in an underlay cognitive radio network assisted by an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) composed of multiple reconfigurable reflectors. This scheme, called the IRS protocol, operates in only one time slot (TS) using the IRS. The IRS adjusts its phases to give zero received cumulative phase at the secondary destination, thereby enhancing the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio. The transmitting power of the secondary source is optimized to simultaneously satisfy the multi-interference constraints, hardware limitations, and performance improvement. Simulation and analysis results of the average block error rates (BLERs) show that the performance can be enhanced by installing more reconfigurable reflectors, increasing the blocklength, lowering the number of required primary receivers, or sending fewer information bits. Moreover, the proposed IRS protocol always outperforms underlay relaying protocols using two TSs for data transmission, and achieves the best average BLER at identical transmission distances between the secondary source and secondary destination. The theoretical analyses are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations.

In order to support reliable medium access control (MAC) layer multicast services in Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks, we here propose spreading codes (Cumulative ACK (CA) code and ARQ Feedback Request (AFR) code) based reliable multicast feedback scheme. The status indications based on the automatic repeat request (ARQ) mechanism are needed in some multicast services. In accordance with various wireless channel environments, we demonstrate the performance excellency of our proposed scheme with respect to required uplink resources compared with the original feedback scheme based on unicast ARQ feedback messages. In addition, we analyze packet error rate (PER) against the various wireless channel environments.

In this paper, we propose a solution for interference with Bluetooth when connecting Bluetooth and other devices. The random frequency hopping technique is a technique of generating a hopping pattern using the entire Bluetooth channel without considering the interference of the wireless LAN. The proposed adaptive frequency hopping technique is a technique for generating a hopping pattern of Bluetooth channel considering periodic carrier sensing of Bluetooth and considering WLAN interference. Simulation results show that the use of adaptive frequency hopping reduces the packet error rate as the Bluetooth carrier sensing interval decreases even in the congestion of WLAN interference. Especially, the frequency hopping technique improves the average packet error rate by about 13% compared to the adaptive frequency hopping technique.

The advent of wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) technology has improved the intelligence of transportation systems and enabled generic traffic problems to be solved automatically. Based on the IEEE 802.11p standard for vehicle-to-anything (V2X) communications, WAVE provides wireless links with latencies less than 100 ms to vehicles operating at speeds up to 200 km/h. To date, most research has been based on field test results. In contrast, this paper presents a numerical analysis of the V2X broadcast throughput limit using a path loss model. First, the maximum throughput and minimum delay limit were obtained from the MAC frame format of IEEE 802.11p. Second, the packet error probability was derived for additive white Gaussian noise and fading channel conditions. Finally, the maximum throughput limit of the system was derived from the packet error rate using a two-ray path loss model for a typical highway topology. The throughput was analyzed for each data rate, which allowed the performance at the different data rates to be compared. The analysis method can be easily applied to different topologies by substituting an appropriate target path loss model.

Most of network congestions are caused by TCP packet losses in the wired network ecosystems. On the contrary, high BER (Bit Error Rate), which is characteristic of the wireless networks, is a main factor in wireless network environments. Many wireless networks carry out the congestion control mechanisms frequently because they estimate that packet losses are not due to the wireless signal qualities but the congestion controls in their networks. To solve this problem, we propose the improved EWLN (Explicit Wireless Loss Notification) algorithm that more efficiently utilize the congestion window size to increase the wireless network throughput than legacy EWLN algorithm.

In this paper, a extension of a fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) to perform interference signal detection and cancelling is proposed for downlink multiuser multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) communication system. It is based on the application of channel matrix expansion on generalized sphere decoder (GSD), and modification of the channel matrix ordering scheme to a FSD algorithm for interference detection. A Monte Carlo simulation shows that the proposed algorithm improves the receiver performance by 3 dB as compared to maximum likelihood detection without interference cancelling at 10% packet error rate in configuration of 702 Mbit/s datarate for four users respectively on IEEE802.11ac.

Many use cases have been presented on providing convenience and safety for vehicles employing wireless access in vehicular environments and long-term evolution communication technologies. As the 70-MHz bandwidth in the 5.9-GHz band is allocated as an intelligent transportation system (ITS) service, there exists the issue that vehicular communication systems should not interfere with each other during their usage. Numerous studies have been conducted on adjacent interfering channels, but there is insufficient research on vehicular communication systems in the ITS band. In this paper, we analyze the interference channel performance between communication systems using distribution functions. Two types of scenarios comprising adjacent channel interference are defined. In each scenario, a combination of an aggressor and victim network is categorized into four test cases. The minimum requirements and conditions to meet a 10% packet error rate are analyzed in terms of outage probability, packet error rate, and throughput for different transmission rates. This paper presents an adjacent channel interference ratio and communication coverage to obtain a satisfactory performance.

본 논문에서는 BER(Bit Error Rate)과 패킷 길이에 따라 블루투스의 다양한 ACL(Asynchronous Connection Less) 패킷 종류들의 성능을 분석하였고 주어진 BER에서 적합한 패킷의 최적 종류와 길이를 제안하였다. ACL 패킷 중 DM(Data Medium Rate) 형은 1/3FEC과 2/3FEC과 ARQ 방식을 사용하지만 DH(Data High rate) 형은 2/3FEC과 ARQ만을 사용한다. 이러한 특징은 잡음이 존재하는 무선 링크 상에서 메시지의 평균 전송 시간과 처리율과 같은 성능 지표에 영향을 준다. 이러한 ACL 패킷의 PER(Packet Error Rate)을 무선 링크의 BER과 패킷 유료부하 길이의 항으로 제시하고 PER과 이에 따른 ARQ 방법에서의 재전송 회수를 고려하여 메시지의 평균 전송시간 및 전송 효율을 구하는 방법을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서는 이를 이용하여 주어진 BER에서 성능 지표를 최대화하는 ACL 패킷의 최적 종류와 최적 길이를 제시하였다. 이를 기초로 전송 효율을 최대화하는 최적 패킷의 종류와 길이가 평균 전송 시간을 최소화하는 패킷의 종류와 길이는 다르다는 것을 보였다.
