최근 Wi-Fi Alliance는 Wi-Fi 기반의 Peer-to-Peer(P2P) 규격인 Wi-Fi Direct 기술의 발표와 함께 인증을 진행하고 있다. Wi-Fi Direct 기술은 TV, 노트북, 프린터, 카메라와 같은 휴대기기 및 모바일 단말 등에 탑재되어 Access Point(AP) 또는 라우터와 같은 별도의 장비 없이도 단말 간 직접 통신을 통하여 기기 간 콘텐츠 및 서비스를 사용할 수 있는 기반을 제공하는 기술이다. Wi-Fi Direct 기술은 빠른 전송속도와 전송거리를 제공함으로써 향후 일부 영역에서 블루투스 기술을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 향후 Wi-Fi Direct 규격의 전체 기능을 구현한 스마트폰이 출시된다면 사용자 경험(UX)을 극대화 시킬 수 있는 혁신적인 모바일 서비스를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 고에서는 Wi-Fi Direct의 업계 동향과 Wi-Fi Direct의 동작 원리를 표준 기술 규격서를 통해 분석하여 요약 정리한다.

Wi-Fi P2P는 Wi-Fi Alliance에 의해 제정된 표준 규격으로 근접 거리에 위치한 장치들간의 효율적이고 빠른 데이터 송수신을 위해 IEEE 802.11n을 이용하고 있다. 근접거리 통신을 위한 기존 블루투스 등의 규격이 갖는 단점을 보완했다는 점에 있어 높은 평가를 받고 있으며, 모바일 디바이스용 플랫폼인 Android ICS 버전부터 공식적으로 지원됨에 따라 널리 사용될 것으로 전망된다. 한편, 한국전자통신연구원(ETRI)에서는 오랫동안 PAN 수준의 네트워킹을 연구해왔으며 그 일환으로 PAN 및 M2M에 적합한 통신 수단으로 여겨지는 Wi-Fi P2P에 대한 연구도 진행 중에 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 ETRI가 과제를 수행하면서 부수적으로 연구한 Wi-Fi P2P를 위한 Linux용 플랫폼 구조를 공유하고자 한다. 특히 Linux Wireless 프로젝트인 hostap에 속한 wpa_supplicant를 이용해 실제로 동작하는 Wi-Fi P2P 커넥션 매니저를 설계하고 구현하는 방법을 설명함으로써 Android 플랫폼이 아닌 일반적인 Linux 장치에서 Wi-Fi P2P를 사용할 수 있는 방법에 대해 논한다.

In this thesis, Wi-Fi Direct which can communicate with other device without AP, we study how to be selected GO considering multi-user connection and we apply it to application. We give the weight how many time a device was GO and how many time the device connected with other devices in 24 hours. With this value, the device is selected to GO when other devices request the connection. We show that the application which we implemented select right GO.

In this paper, we present the results of a developed LTE/Wi-Fi-based video transmission system which can be applied in small unmanned aerial vehicles of 25kg or less. The developed video transmission system comprised of airborne datalink terminal, ground datalink terminal, and used LTE and Wi-Fi wireless data communication technologies to transmit videos of resolution higher than HD (720p/30fps, 1080p/30fps) taken by small UAV. The airborne device is designed to efficiently transmit real-time streaming video through the incorporation of H.264 video processing board. Ground tests and evaluation indicated the possibility of the developed system to transmit real-time videos from close distance in regards to non-line-of-sight area.

Wi-Fi Direct standard technology(Wi-Fi Peer to Peer Technical Specifications v1.2, 2010) was designed for allowing peer to peer communication between two or more devices and various products which have been currently manufactured such as smart phone and smart TV have already provided this technical function. In this technology the role of Coordinator in Wi-Fi infrastructure would be matched to GO(Group Owner) which needs relatively high energy resource and computation power due to the high probability for allowing 3rd-party connection, however, the current standard specification would be limited in terms of energy distribution because it has not included a process to determine the role of GO. To address above problem, this paper classified considerable parameters into the general parameters for the physicality of devices and the specific parameters for considering the role position depending on use-case scenario, and proposed a new method called DIVA to help efficiently determining GO role from the member devices of Wi-Fi Direct network. Furthermore the effect of this mechanism was proved via simulation-based experiments.

As people are taking part in more versatile social activities, it becomes more frequent and more important for people to share personal information each other in appropriate level. Unfortunately, although the rapid spread of smart devices and advance of network technologies have brought many applications for information sharing into our hands, they do not provide effective mechanism for sharing personal information on collocated people. In this paper, we introduce an android application named WhoAmI which provides the functionality of sharing personal information on nearby users over Wi-Fi Direct as well as Wi-Fi network environment. According to the predefined access level such as business, community or friend, WhoAmI naturally provides profile information to accessible users. In addition, the information such as music, photo, movie can be effectively shared through the application.

In this paper, a P2P Standard Group Formation (P2P-SGF) method in Wi-Fi Direct is presented to provide direct communication services between Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateways. Generally, network traffic congestion and speed reduction problems are caused when transmitting mass data as well as measured data from many sensors between IoT gateways via an Access Point (AP). For solving these problems, it is required to implement Wi-Fi Direct efficiently transmitting mass data between IoT gateways without passing through the AP. The implemented P2P-SGF method basically performs Discovery, GO (Group Owner) Negotiation, WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Provisioning, and Address Configuration. Especially, it supports the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) service function for sharing mass data between IoT gateways. Some experimental results verify that it can successfully share large video files.

Recently, the Wi-Fi Direct standard based on WLAN is getting more attention as a new technology for enabling D2D(Devide-to-Device) communications on mobile devices. However, due to limited power resource of mobile devices and, an energy inefficiency problem can be an issue. In order to solve this problem, the Wi-Fi Direct defines two power management schemes: Opportunistic scheme and Notice of Absence(NoA) scheme. However, there is no concrete description of which power management scheme would be better for when. In this paper, via comprehensive simulation studies using ns-3, we show that each scheme presents obviously different performance and energy efficiency according to data traffic patterns. We then propose more energy efficient way of dynamically switching the two power management schemes.

Wi-Fi Direct standard technology has been widely deployed on the recently manufactured products such as smart phone, smart monitor, TV, set-top box, and gaming console, and it was published from Wi-Fi Alliance with the name of Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer Technical Specifications (v1.4, 2014) for direct connection on the wireless communication environment. However, the connection process of this standard needs 5 to 10 seconds so it can lead to user's inconvenience as well as long delay for connection. From the focus of that this problem was derived from long discovery process composed of Scan and Find, as a result, the proposed scheme on this paper modified and adapted Scan and Find processes with reassembling steps of them for reducing the connection delay. In addition, the analysis and experiments were progressed for the evaluations of the proposed scheme.

This paper presents BER, FER performance comparison, especially on PHY mode of IEEE 802.15.4g and IEEE 802.11 under AWGN channel through a simulation, which is communication method using identical frequency bandwidth in M2M environment. This considers suitable communication method of required parameter. It is advantageous that FSK method is used in situations where the system require low complexity and inexpensive structure. And OFDM method is considered for system performance. Further, when the high throughput and various traffic characteristics of the system are required, it can be considered that the method of IEEE 802.11 OFDM PHY mode is used.
