본 논문에서는 WLAN의 여러 가지 문제점을 해결하기 위해 WLAN망에서 유무선의 중계기 역할을 하고 있는 AP에 사용자 인증과 자원관리 기능을 지원하는 확장형의 AP를 제안하였다. 이를 위해 WLAN망 AP에서 사용자 인증과 자원관리 프로토콜의 메시지 및 동작 절차를 설계하고 구현하였다. 사용자 인증과 자원관리 프로토콜을 포함하고 있는 AP의 테스트를 위해 WLAN망에 구현한 두 대의 Main AP 및 Sub AP를 위치시키고, PC형 라우터를 통해 외부망과 연결하여 테스트망을 구축하였다. 이동단말과 테스트를 수행한 결과 본 논문에서 구현한 사용자 인증 모듈과 자원관리 모듈이 정상적으로 동작함을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 WLAN AP와 이동단말 간에 경제적이면서 신뢰적인 사용자 인증을 위한 기초 기반 기술로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각되며, WLAN 자원들을 효율적으로 관리하는데 일익을 담당할 것으로 사료된다.

최근 IEEE에서 WLAN을 표준으로 하는 802.11g가 확정되면서 이를 지원하는 AP가 출시되었다. AP에서 사용되는 OS는 POSIX를 기반으로 된 Linux 같은 OS를 통하여 구현되고 있 다. 이 논문에서는 가장 범용으로 사용되고 있는 Rad Hat을 기반으로 한 embeded linux를 만들어본다. 이와 함께 embeded linux를 가지고서 Network 기능을 추가하고, AP 하드웨어 드라이버 및 AP 모듈을 올려서 구연한다. 여기에 추가적으로 DHCP나 Web UI기능 등의 부가 기능을 추가하여 AP를 구현하는데 목적이 있다.

IoT management hub has to request the WLAN AP list of the accessible areas in a place that is installed, or choose a specific WLAN AP you want to connect in order to be connected to the Internet. the specific method also is required to input the password when the security key was set. As that way, IoT management hub needs both the display device and the input device to see the list of WLAN AP and to input the security key. If the IoT management hub is consist of them, It is difficult to achieve the objective of the miniaturization and cost reduction. In this paper, we propose a method to connect to a WLAN AP network using a smart-phone without the display device and the input device.

Call blocking probabilities of streaming data service in CDMA system with access point(AP) of WLAN are analyzed for different cell geometry of base station and AP and queuing is modeled. The considered system leads to successful handoffs between the APs of WLAN. Blocking probabilities are enumerated as a function for ratio of base station and AP sizes, their locations and the number of buffer in the queue. Results show that blocking probability is not influenced by base station and AP locations but mainly by ratio of their sizes. For CDMA system of radius 100m, 5 buffers in the queue and 7㏈ noise rise(NR), in order to obtain 1% call blocking probability, a cell with hot spot of radius 20m has more 0.6Erlang than that of radius 60m.

지금까지 IEEE 802.11 WLAN 에서 많이 연구되어진 주제는 노드들 간의 공평성(fairness)과 처리량(throughput)을 높이는데 중점이 맞추어진 것들이 대부분이었다. 성능을 높이기 위한 AP의 CW값에 관한 연구는 노드들 간에 관한 연구에 비하여 비교적 적은 편이다. 지금은 노드들과 AP가 충돌하게 되면 BEB(Binary Exponential backoff)방식으로 셋팅되어 사용하게 있기 때문에 1:N의 불공평한(unfairness) 상황이 발생한다. AP에서 노드들로 가는 하향링크(downlink) 전송이 많은 상황에서 AP가 다른 노드들과 똑같은 채널 접근확률을 가지는 것은 바람직하지 않기 때문에 AP에게 우선권(priority)을 주어 전체 성능을 높이는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 AP의 CW(Contention Window)값이 변화함에 따라 전체 성능에 끼치는 영향과 노드 수의 변화에 따른 AP의 적절한 백오프 CW값을 분석해 보고자 한다.

In this article, we propose a new method for precise WLAN (Wireless Area Network) AP (Access Point) localization using GPS information measured in the smart phone. The idea is that the possible area of WLAN AP location, called AP_Area, is first determined by measuring GPS information and the received signal strength in the smart phones. As the number of measurements from the smart phones increases, the AP_Area are successively narrowed down to the actual AP location. We have performed the simulation to evaluate the proposed algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can detect the Wi-Fi AP localization within 5 m (probability over than 90%).

Recently with the high expectation of voice over WLAN service, to supped fast inter-AP security transition in WLAN AP is one of the most actively investigating issues. It is also very important to minimize inter-AP security transition latency, while maintaining constantly the secure association from old AP when a station transits to new AP. Hence, this paper first defines secure transition latency as a primary performance metric of AP system in WLAN supporting IEEE802.11i, 802.1x, and 802.11f, and then presents low latency inter-AP security transition mechanism and its security FSM whose objective is to minimize inter-AP transition latency. Experiment shows that the proposed scheme outperforms the legacy 802.1X AP up to $79\%$ with regard to the transition latency.

Recently, There has been increasing concern about WLAN-based indoor positioning system. Most of the existing WLAN-based positioning systems use a fingerprinting method as a main approach. In the fingerprinting approach, the accuracy of the location of a mobile objects is proportional to the number of reference points. However, depending on the increasing number of reference points in the training phase, it requires more time and effort to create fingerprint database. To solve these problems, we propose the new indoor positioning algorithm that calculate the distance between a mobile objects and an AP using the information of surrounding environment WLAN based APs and applied the particle filter to the proposed algorithm in order to improve the accuracy of the estimated location in this paper. To implement this algorithm, at first environmental information database such as wall, iron door, glass door, partition etc. existing in the periphery of the AP should be established. The positioning use attenuation model and path loss model. Our experimental results with proposed algorithm are verified that the positioning accuracy was low but solved the problems with fingerprinting, compared with other positioning algorithms.

IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN(WLAN) is being widely used in public space such as airport, and increases the networking boundary in campus and enterprise, and it has lastly attracted considerable attention for mesh network and converged network with other 3G mobile communication networks. In WLAN, load balancing among Access Points(AP) is an important issue for efficient resource management or supporting the Quality of Service(QoS) of traffic, but most researches focused on the AP selection in network entry or roaming of Stations(STA). In this paper, we propose an AP-Initiated Flow Redirection(FR) for AP load balancing by monitoring AP's availability in the true sense. When the AP's resource becomes almost saturated, that is used more than a specific threshold, the AP queries the roaming possible neighbor APs about their availability and calculates the distribution of traffic load with statistical methods such as entropy or chi-square. Finally, the AP decides flows and new APs for redirection and performs it. Our simulation results show that our FR mechanism increases the performance in the various views.

This paper suggested that the frequency adaptive antenna matching network design between AP and WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) terminal for improving performance. The internet data service of the WLAN terminal is communicated through the AP and AP broadcasts the beacon signal including the assigned frequency channel. at that time the antenna matching network path is controlled beacon information after the WLAN terminal searching and synchronization a beacon information. and then the WLAN terminal communicate with AP. controlling the antenna matching network path according to channel information, The WLAN terminal is expected to improve RF output power and sensitivity performance. The VSWR(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) performance of the designed antenna matching network is measured to about 1.1 ~ 1.2 and then it is operated by the channel information of the AP.
