저렴한 비용, 매우 작은 파워 소비라 낮은 데이터 전송속도를 지원 하는 IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) 기술은 앞으로 다가올 유비쿼터스 시대의 핵심이라고 할 수 있다. 도래할 유비쿼터스 시대에는 댁내에 LR-WPAN 기술을 적용한 다양한 상품이 보급될 것이다. 그러나 LR-WPAN은 매우 낮은 전력 소비를 위해 네트워크 기능을 최소화 하였기 때문에 응용에 있어 LAN 또는 WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network)등 기존 네트워크와의 통신 및 보안이 아직 고려되지 않아 보완이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 WLAN의 Station이 LR-WPAN을 보안적으로 안전하게 제어할 수 있도록 AP(Acess Point)와 WLAN의 Station 그리고 LR-WPAN의 PAN Coodinator 간의 새로운 Message와 Function를 정의하고, 다른 두 네트워크간의 효율적이고 보안이 유지되는 프레임 프로세싱 매커니즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose a new indoor location estimation method which combines the fingerprint technique with the propagation prediction model. The wireless LAN (WLAN) access points (APs) deployed indoors are divided into public APs and private APs. While the fingerprint method can be easily used to public APs usually installed in fixed location, it is difficult to apply the fingerprint scheme to private APs whose location can be freely changed. In the proposed approach, the accuracy of user location estimation is improved by simultaneously utilizing public and private APs. Specifically, the fingerprint method is used to the received signals from public APs and the propagation prediction model is employed to the signals from private APs. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of conventional indoor location estimation schemes through measurements and numerical simulations in WLAN environments.

The IEEE 802.1x standard provides an architectural framework which can be used various authentication methods. But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS(Denial of Service), the session hijacking and the MiM(Man in the Middle) attack due to caused by structural of authentication protocol. In this paper, we propose a WLAN system which can offer safety communication by complement of IEEE 802.1x vulnerabilities. The WLAN system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication servers, clients and the AP using PKI and prevents an illegal user from intervening in communication to disguise oneself as a client, the AP or authentication servers. Also, we guarantee the safety of the communication by the Dynamic WEP key distribution between clients and the AP.

The deployment density of AP increases as well as the density WLAN stations due to increase of WLAN use and the real performance of WLAN is degraded. To improve the performance, there are many PHY/MAC technologies and OFDMA and full duplex are promising technologies among them. In conventional OFDMA WLAN MAC relate works, there are some limitations in terms of channel utilization and collision probability. Thus, it need to research for effective channel allocation protocol. Full duplex can transmit data on the same time and same frequency resource so it can allocate channel more flexible than half duplex. In this paper, we prose the OFDMA FD-MAC(Full Duplex MAC) protocol that it allocates the sub-channels based on the idle channel information for full duplex pair. In addition, it shows the throughput improvement by performance analysis.

The paradigm of information & communication is rapidly changed into ubiquitous environment based electromagnetic wave, and antenna technology in the wireless ubiquitous communication is remarkably developed. Mini chip antenna has its within small card compared to the external AP antenna. Designed and Fabricated WLAN antenna has a broadband characteristics of 2.4~2.5GHz and 4.9~5.85GHz, and can be used triple mode of IEEE 802.11.a,g.b, and it has comparatively a constant performance in the dual frequency band.

Currently, Wireless LAN(WLAN) service is widely deployed to provide high speed wireless Internet access through the mobile stations such as notebook and PDA. To provide enhanced security and user access control in the public WLAN area, WLAM access points should have the capability of IEEE 802.1x-based user authentication and authorization functionality. In this paper, we provide a brief understanding of IEEE 802. 1x standards and related protocols likeEAPoL(Extended Authentication Protocol Over LAN), EAP, RADIUS and describe how the IEEE 802.1x is designed and implemented in our embedded linux-based WLAN AP which is named i-WiNG.(Intelligent Wireless Internet Gateway).

Smartphones have become commonplace to use smart, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) spread the trend of domestic WLAN use is intensifying as a result, the security threat will be greatly increased. Even though WLAN vendors such as Cisco Systems Inc,. Aruba networks released WIPS, MDM, DLP etc, however, these solutions can not be easily introduced for small business due to high cost or administrative reasons. In this paper, without the introduction of expensive H/W equipment, in WLAN environments, packet analysis, AP, Station management, security vulnerabilities can be analyzed by the proposed intrusion detection system.

In this paper, we address the TCP-over-WLAN performance problem that occurs during periodic active background scanning with which mobile devices discover available APs in the vicinity. We measure the impact of the scanning period on the TCP throughput and observe a significant performance degradation when the scan operation period is shortened. Our experimental analysis has identified the main cause of the problem, that is, the associated AP continues to send packets to the mobile device even when the device is not able to receive due to the scanning operation.

핸드폰, PDA, Laptop이 보편화 되면서 이를 이용한 위치 인식 기술의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 위치기반 서비스(LBS : Location Based Service)는 GPS를 이용한 실외 서비스와 WLAN, Zigbee, UWB 등을 이용한 실내 서비스로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이미 많은 수의 기반시설(AP : Access Point)가 구축되어 있는 무선랜 기반의 효과적인 위치 측정 기법에 관한 연구를 모색 해보고자 한다. 각 AP에서 받은 신호세기(SS : Signal Strength)를 데이터 베이스에 저장한 후, 이동단말기(MU : Mobile Unit)의 위치가 요구되는 장소에서 다시 신호세기를 측정하여 데이터 베이스와 비교하여 가장 적합한 위치 데이터 정보를 리턴하는 핑거프린트(Fingerprint) 방식을 소개한다. 그리고 불안정한 신호 세기 데이터를 판별하기 위하여 단일 클래스 SVM 기법인 SVDD(Support Vector Data Description)을 이용하였다.

위치기반서비스에서 사용자의 정확한 위치가 요구되면서 옥내 위치기반서비스를 위한 무선 LAN기반 옥내 측위와 추적에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 AP 신호의 세기를 바탕으로 거리와 신호세기의 관계를 통해 사용자의 위치에서 AP들까지의 거리를 구한 후, Trilateration으로 위치를 추적하는 방법과 EKF 방법을 비교한다. EKF를 이용할 때 필터링에 사용되는 파라메타들의 값에 따라 달라지는 실험 결과들을 비교 분석하여 적절한 파라메타 값을 찾고, 나아가서 파라메타 값을 적절히 적용함으로써 경로의 정확성을 제고하는 방법을 제시한다. 제안하는 방법의 효율성을 실험적으로 증명하기 위한 실험 결과와 분석 내용도 제시한다.
