최근 IEEE 802.11 WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network)에서 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스가 증가하고 있다. WLAN 의 패킷 전송방식은 Unicast 또는 Broadcast 방식이 있다. Unicast 방식은 재전송을 포함하여 유실율이 적으나 사용자가 증가할수록 AP 에서 필요한 무선 자원의 크기가 증가한다. 무선 자원의 크기가 증가하면 AP 부하가 증가하여 서비스 수용에 한계가 있다. Broadcast 방식은 사용자 수에 상관 없이 무선 자원의 크기가 일정하나, 패킷 유실율이 높다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Broadcast 와 FEC(Forward Error Correction) Erasure Code 기반 기술을 적용하는 것을 제안한다. 방송 패킷을 이용 AP 의 부하를 줄이고, Reed Solomon Erasure Code 를 적용하여 패킷 유실 복구율을 높인다. 이러한 방법을 통하여 다수의 사용자에게 안정적인 실시간 멀티미디어 방송 서비스를 제공 할 수 있다. 제안한 방법을 검증하기 위해 Android Platform 에서 FEC 적용 유무에 따른 수신율을 측정하였다. 그 결과 유실율 30%미만인 Broadcast 환경에서 96.4% 이상의 수신율을 보였다.

Currently, IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) is rising as the most popular means for the broadband wireless access network. In this thesis, we propose a QoS(Quality of Service)-Oriented mechanism using handshaking method of scanning phase in IEEE 802.11 handoff. In conventional process for handoff, the major criterion to select the best AP(Access Point) among candidates is normally based on the RSS(Received Signal Strength), which does not always make the selected network guarantee the maximum achievable performance. Even though the link quality with a neighboring AP is excellent, the AP may not be a good candidate to handoff to simply because MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol of IEEE 802.11 standard is contention-based such as CSMA/CA. Therefore, if we apply network level information to AP selection criteria, we can achieve better handoff efficiency rather than before. The analysis and simulation results applied to our new mechanism show clearly better performance than AP selection based on traditional handoff method.

The development of wireless communication systems has resulted in the availability of several access technologies at any geographic area, such as 3G networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless broadband networks. The development of these technologies is provided for users who have experienced mobile network environments which are slow or fast-movement environment and change distance between the AP(Access Point). This paper describes network performance issues in various environmental changes. Also, Fuzzy logic is applied to evaluate the performance in vehicle networks around users' environmental factors to focusing on the minimizing of transfer time and costs. First, WLAN and 3G networks fixed distance between AP, Second, WLAN and 3G networks random distance between APs, finally above two environmental with vehicle Ad hoc networks is analyzed. These V2I and V2V environmental condition are assumed. Results which based on Fuzzy logic suggest an optimal performance in vehicle network environments according to vehicle speed and distance between APs. Proposed algorithm shows 21% and 13% improvement of networks performance in V2I and V2V environment.

Owing to the proliferation of smart phone users, a proactive spectrum policy is needed in order to deal with increasing data traffic. Therefore, the prediction of frequency requirements for future wireless local area network (WLAN) as well as a licensed cellular communication is necessary. In this paper, we proposed a new prediction method for WLAN spectrum requirements. This method includes both a traditional prediction method and an offloading percentage from cellular network, Also, it can consider a frequency interference between access points using a statistical approach. Based on these approaches, we can predict the spectrum requirements of future domestic WLAN services considering the frequency interference. Finally, we suggest the spectrum policy for WLAN which can prevent spectrum shortage of future WLAN services.

In this paper, we designed and implemented a dual band chip antenna for WLAN, which contains within the small LAN card contrary to the enternal AP(Access Point) antenna. Limiting about the antenna size, we used dielectrics of high permittivity. Totally considering problems of demand-supply, price and characteristics, we used that relative dielectrics of ceramic is 9.8 and the thickness is 3.5mm and 5mm. Ceramic antenna can be used not only triple mode of IEEE 802.11.a,g and b but also broadband. The frequency bands have wideband characteristics of 2.4~2.5GHz and 4.9~5.85GHz and relatively constant performance.

3GPP long-term evolution(LTE) band 2.3~2.4 GHz is adjacent to 2.4~2.5 GHz band for WLAN, and therefore compatibility study of the two systems is desirable. We propose a dynamic system simulation methodology to investigate the effect of WLAN interference on LTE systems. As capturing space/time/frequency changes in system parameters, the dynamic system simulation can exactly predict real system performance. Using the proposed methodology, we obtain LTE downlink throughput loss for the frequency separation between the two systems. Throughput loss under 1 % is obtained from guard band over 11 MHz(single channel allocation) or 10 MHz(three channel allocation).

The handoff in IEEE 802.11 WLAN is a hard handoff. In hard handoff, a station has to stop the communication. As a result, the station is likely to miss some packets that arrival during the handoff process. To recover these lost packets, buffer-and-forward scheme is used. But, buffer-and-forward scheme is not efficient for real time service. In this paper, we propose new handoff scheme for real time service in home network based WLAN. The scheme uses priority queue which is recommended in IEEE 802.lie, and priority of priority queue is given to real time handoff calls. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme reduces traffic loss and transmission sequence error.

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, the session hijacking and the Man in the Middle attack due to the absence of AP authentication. In this paper, we propose a WLAN secure system which can offer a robust secure communication and a user authentications with the IEEE 802.1x framework. The user authentication on the WLAN secure system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication severs, 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 doing secure communication between clients and the AP by the Dynamic WEP key distribution.

WLAN is the best choice in the place where complex network is hard to set up. Intelligent terminals are more and more assembled in some areas now. However, according to IEEE 802.11n/802.11ac, the access-point (AP) can only serve one user at a single frequency channel. The spectrum efficiency urgently needs to be improved. In theory, AP with multi-antenna can serve multiple users if these users do not interfere with each other. In this paper, we propose a user clustering scheme that could achieve multi-user selection through the mutual cooperation among users. We focus on two points, one is to achieve multi-user communication with multiple antennas technique at a single frequency channel, and the other one is to use a way of distributed users' collaboration to determine the multi-user selection for user clustering. Firstly, we use the CSMA/CA protocol to select the first user, and then we set this user as a source node using users' cooperation to search other proper users. With the help of the users' broadcast cooperation, we can search and select other appropriate user (while the number of access users is limited by the number of antennas in AP) to access AP with the first user simultaneously. In the network node searching, we propose a maximum degree energy routing searching algorithm, which uses the shortest time and traverses as many users as possible. We carried out the necessary analysis and simulation to prove the feasibility of the scheme. We hope this work may provide a new idea for the solution of the multiple access problem.
