The IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) standard is designed to correct expensive communication costs in CDMA-based mobile communication systems and limited coverage problems in wireless LAN systems. Thus, the IEEE 802.16e standard can provide mobile high-speed packet access between mobile stations and the Internet service provider through the base station with cheap communication fees. To efficiently accommodate voice over IP (VoIP) services in IEEE 802.16 systems, an uplink quality of service packet-scheduling scheme is proposed, and its performance is evaluated with an NS-2 network simulator in this paper. Numerical results show that this proposed scheme can increase the system capacity by 100% more than in the unsolicited rand service (UGS) scheme and 30% more than the extended real-time polling service (ertPS) scheme, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a new prioritized Optical Burst Switching (OBS) protocol based on a hop count, which can provide an efficient utilization in optical Wireless networks. Under several legacy schemes, a switch drops the burst with a shorter time among ones regardless of its traversed hop counts. As a result, the dropped burst that have been traversed more hops might cause to waste bandwidth than the one traversed a few hops. Noting that this problem, we propose the Just Enough Time (JET) with a hop count scheme which can reduce the wasted bandwidth by prioritizing the burst traversed more hops over others. From the simulation result, we show that the proposed scheme is advantageous over the legacy schemes in terms of the burst blocking probability and the link utilization.

Wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standard are widely spread for use nowadays. Traffic which are conveyed over the WLANs change rapidly from normal data such as Email and Web pages, to multimedia data of high resolution video and voice. To meet QoS (Quality of Service) required by these multimedia traffic, the IEEE 802 committee recently has developed a new standard, IEEE 802.11e. Current IEEE 802.11e, however, is not sufficient to support service differentiations and network performance enhancements, under a varying network environment experiencing as varying channel characteristics and high network loads. Recently, there have been much research to complement this deficiency of 802.11e standard. This paper surveys these research efforts.

Although the Distributed Coordination Function is the fundamental access protocol of IEEE 802.11, it cannot meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements in general. So, the Point Coordinate Function is provided to support QoS related services. However, it has inherent problems. Access point (AP) has no knowledge of the queue status and instantaneous channel condition of stations in the system. In this paper we propose an efficient and versatile polling scheduler that shows excellent throughput and fairness performance. Comparison with well known polling schemes is provided through computer simulation under various channel situations including error prone environments.

IEEE 802.11 무선랜 표준에서 MAC(Media Access Control)은 동기와 비동기의 두 가지 타입의 서비스를 지원한다. 동기적 실시간 트래픽은 PCF(Point Coordination Function)에 의해서 폴링 엑세스 기법에 의해 처리된다. 비동기적 비실시간 트래픽은 CSMA/CA 프로토콜 기반의 DCF(Distributed Coordination function)에 의해 처리된다. 그래서 실시간 트래픽은 지연과 패킷손실에 민감하고 비실시간 트래픽은 에러와 처리율에 민감하기 때문에 적당한 트래픽 스케줄링 알고리즘이 설계되어질 필요가 있다. 하지만 IEEE 802.11 무선랜 표준은 실시간 트래픽을 효율적으로 서비스를 해주지 못하고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 PCF 구간내에서 서비스를 받지 못한 실시간 트래픽 스테이션들을 DCF 구간에서 우선적으로 서비스함으로써 QoS를 향상시킬 수 있다.

There is a serious problem in an 802.11g VoWLAN (Voice over Wireless LAN) terminal that talk time is less than 30% compared with an 802.11b terminal. It is almost impossible to achieve talk time level of the 802.11b MAC transmission method because IEEE 802.11g uses OFDM modulation, which is a kind of multi-carrier method and OFDM transmission speed is 54 Mbps faster than normal modulation. In this paper, a new concept of a Holdover time as a power saving method during a call with 802.11g terminal is suggested for the first time. Increase in the number of engaged terminals as a result of holdover time causes to QoS problem because of the increase in the number of back-off and then contention window. In this paper, to solve the QoS problem, a new approach is suggested such that when in down lint the sequence number of 802.11 G.711 is analyzed in the MAC of the terminal and then the Hold over time depending on loss rate is changed. Also, consumption of an electric current of 802.11b/g and MAC parameter's performance due to busy traffic caused by increase in the number of terminal are analyzed and then real data using VQT and Airopeek are analyzed.

Wireless LAN (WLAN) has greatly benefited from the introduction of various technologies, such as MAC protocol and scheduling algorithm. The majority of these technologies focus on fairness or service differentiation. However, it is difficult to use these technologies to provide many benefits to WLAN simultaneously because the current WLAN system only focuses on the provision of a single aspect of QoS. Unfortunately, multimedia applications require both service differentiation and fairness. Therefore, this paper combines Distributed Fair Scheduling (DFS) and Enhanced Distributed Coordinate Function (EDCF), to provide both fairness and service differentiation simultaneously. Furthermore, we show numerical analysis using Markov process. The simulation results demonstrate that F-EDCF outperforms the EDCF, in terms of throughput, fairness, and delay viewpoints.

A study about collision resolution is needed because huge file, video and multimedia information are transmitted to wireless LAN. CSMA/CR protocol guarantees fairness, but doesn't consider QoS. To practicalize CSMA/CR protocol in saturation fully-connected single hop network environments, this paper proposes method of collision compensation. previous CSMA/CR protocol chooses CR Slot only considering fairness, but this paper chooses front CR Slot for compensation of collision to station experiencing collisions. The station transmits jam signal and has channel priority of transmission. So transmitting efficiency and successful transmission probability rise. This proposed simple method can offer benefit to station experiencing collisions without additional hardware cost.

The increasing number of wireless subscribers who can use internet service any time and any place have caused wireless communications networks to flourish. However, since total communication channel bandwidth for wireless communications is limited, it is very important to find the solution for maximizing the channel utilization. Thus, in this work we propose a QoS packet scheduler for IEEE 802.11e EDCA scheme which is able to maximize the channel throughput with changing the CW value considering wireless channel condition. This proposed scheme is evaluated with NS-2 network simulator under various environments and it is easily shown from the numerical results that the proposed scheme provides better performance than that of the original IEEE 802.11e scheme.

무선 LAN(Wireless Local Area Networks 의 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) 방식은 랜덤 백 오프 방식으로 매체에 접근하기 때문에 지연이 발생하여 정해진 시간 내에 전송을 보장할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. [1] 이는 곧 실시간 멀티미디어 트래픽(비디오, 음성 등)의 QoS(Quality Of Service)를 보장할 수 없다는 것을 뜻한다. 또한 IEEF 802.11e 표준 [2]에서 제공하는 QoS 를 위한 EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access)라는 프로토콜은 제시되어있으나 실제로 구현되어있는 디바이스의 부재로 QoS 를 지원하기가 어렵다. 따라서 무선 랜에서 IEEE 802.11e 를 지원하지 않는 망내 디바이스, 즉 큐가 1 개인 STA, 즉 기본적인 802.11 표준 기술인 DCF 를 사용하는 STA 을 위해서 멀티미디어 트래픽의 실시간 전송을 보장하기 위한 기법을 제시한다.
