Wimedia UWB(Ultra-Wideband) platform provides data rates up to 480Mbps in WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network). Wimedia conformant devices access to the channels through superframe concept for communications. As the channel resource is limited, the optimal channel time required for each device needs to be estimated to share the resource efficiently among the devices. In this paper, we propose a scheme to estimate the required channel time in a super frame to satisfy the QoS of the application on a device. The channel time is estimated from the service rate which is computed from the TSPEC of the application. In the process of the estimation, we take the frame overhead for data transmission as well as the overhead due to the acknowledgement scheme, preamble, and MDSU size into consideration. We also analyze and compare the throughputs for different acknowledgement scheme, preamble, and MDSU size situations. The estimated channel time required for a given service rate is allocated in the unit of MAS(Medium Access Slot).

One of technologies that make it possible for users to enjoy always-on Internet service using potable devices does be Wifi. However, users frequently feel its connection is not stable or its speed becomes slow. On the other hand, users see multiple available Wifi access points exist often. In this paper, we present a smartphone application, called to WiSMax, that periodically changes its Wifi connection to the best one among available Wifi access points to maximize its speed. Experimental results show that WiSMax presents faster Internet connection than IEEE802.11 as much as about fifteen percent and higher signal strength than IEEE802.11 as much as about five dBm.

IEEE802.15에서 표준화가 진행중인 WPAN(wireless personal network)은 개인영역 네트워크 혹은 근거리 무선 네트워크를 구축하기 위한 기술로, 개인용 컴퓨터, PDA, 주변기기, 휴대전화, 가전 등의 휴대나 이동 컴퓨팅을 위한 기술이다. IEEE802.15.1에서는 블루투스, IEEE802.15.4에서는 ZigBee를 위한 저속 WPAN(low rate WPAN) 그리고 IEEE802.15.3에서는 고속 WPAN(high rate WPAN)에 대한 표준화를 담당하고 있다. 본 고에서는 IEEE802.15 산하 TG3a에서 표준화 중인 Alt-PHY 기술로 경합을 벌이고 있는 MBOA(Multi-Band Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing Alliance) UWB(ultrawideband)에 대한 활성화를 꾀하고 있는 WiMedia Alliance의 시험인증 동향을 고찰하고자 한다.

An integrated ship area network has functionality of remote control and autonomous management of various sensors and instruments embedded or boarded in a ship. For such environment, a wireless bridge is essential to transmit control and/or managing information to sensors or instruments from a central integrated ship area network station. In this paper, one of reliable schemes of wireless bridge using WiMedia distributed MAC (D-MAC) protocol is proposed to increase a communication reliability. Simulation results show that the proposed wireless bridge using WiMedia D-MAC protocol guarantees reliable communications between 2-hop devices.
