This study aims at defining the factors affecting adoption intentions for portable Internet services based on the characteristics of individuals creating the markets and developing strategies of the service, which is expected to be the next-generation telecommunication service. For this Purpose, two types of sub-factors are defined : characteristics of individuals including demographic statistics, usage of existing services, prior cognition, adoption attitudes and service assessments : and adoption Intentions including willingness for subscription, subscription period, willingness to pay, types of usage and preferred device. The results of the study indicate that demographical statistical variables vary depending upon the levels of adoption intentions, and that users of mobile Internet services via mobile phones and wireless LANs are highly probable of being targets for the portable Internet services. Furthermore, the results demonstrate demands for enhancing recognition of the usefulness and ease of use of the services and intense marketing activities for potential users bearing innovativeness to stimulate the market of the portable Internet service. The author is confident that this study will significantly contribute to the successful market entrance of portable Internet service, and also to growth in the market.

In this Paper, we analyzed the HIPERLAN(Hlgh PErformance Radio LAN) MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol, which was a standard for Wireless LANs defined by ETSI. We analyzed mathematically the elimination phase and the yield phase of the channel contention phase of CAC(Channel Access Control) layer in the infinite population model of the HIPERLAN using EY-NPMA(Elimination Yield-Nonpreemptive Priority Multiple Access)protocol. Also we analyzed the probability of successful transmission in the transmission phase. And, we proved results of a mathematical analysis by the simulation of HIPERLAN MAC protocol.

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.

In this paper, this study goal is development for WSN-based fire prevention systems of using temperature/humidity Sensor. So, distributed sensor nodes structural and packet transfer characteristics study for fire monitoring. Battery-operated wireless sensor networks is data transfer manner of multi-hop. WSN fire prevention system need to sensor nodes management and energy consumption of efficient adjust for sustained action. Thus, study with efficient energy consumption the normal WSN environment is not, characteristics for WSN fire prevention environment.

Transmit diversity is an efficient diversity technique to improve performance and spectrum efficiency in wireless communication . Coding scheme designed for the transmit diversity is called space-time coding. In this paper, we propose a training structure to apply the transmit diversity to improve the performance of IEEE802.11a OFDM systems. Based on this training structure, we propose a channel estimation scheme using curve fitting. Also we compare and evaluate the performance of space-time codes. The performance of both diversity using space-time codes and channel estimation scheme is investigated by computer simulation in quasi-static 2-ray rayleigh fading environment.

The IEEE 802.11 MAC (Media Access Control) Protocol supports two modes of operation, a random access mode for nonreal-time data applications processed by Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF), and a polling mode for real-time applications served by Point Coordinated Function (PCF). It is known that the standard IEEE 802.11 is insufficient to serve real-time traffic. To provide Quality of Service (QoS) of real-time traffic, we propose the Downlink-first scheduling with Earliest Due Date (EDD) in Contention Free Period (CFP) with suitable admission control. The capacity and deadline violation probability of the proposed system is analyzed and compared to the standard pair system of downlink and uplink. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme is remarkably efficient in view of the deadline violation probability.

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.

802.11과 같은 무선 네트워크에서는 전송오류에 의한 패킷손실이 많이 발생한다. 802.11 MAC 프로토콜에서는 에러 복구를 위해 ARQ방식을 통한 재전송을 통하여 에러를 정정하나 채널 에러 율이 증가하면 재전송 방식의 효율은 급격히 저하된다. 또한 재전송을하는데 있어서 다시 RTS와 CTS를 전송하여 데이터를 보낼 수 있는 채널을 확보해야 하므로 상당한 전송부하가 발생한다. 이에 재전송 없이 효율적인 에러 복구를 위해서는 FEC방식이 필요하다. 그러나 정적인 FEC방식은 연속적으로 변화하는 무선 채널의 전송 오류율에알맞은 정정 코드를 채택하지 못해 과도한 대역폭 낭비로 인하여 효율이 떨어지는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 개선하기 위해서는 채널의 상태에 따라 정정 코드를 동적으로 변경하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문은 FEC방식을 802.11 MAC 프로토콜에 적용할 수 있는 방안에 대해서 기술하고 채널 에러 변화에 따라 능동적으로 정정 코드 양을 조절하여 재 전송하는적응적 FEC 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 적응적 FEC 알고리즘을 802.11 MAC 프로토콜에 적용하여 성능을 측정한 결과 최대 80%정도 성능이 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

IEEE 802.11의 매체 접근 제어 MAC 프로토콜은 두가지 운영 방법을 제공한다. 하나는 실시간 응용 서비스가 아닌 데이터를 지원하기 위한 임의 접근 (random access)모드이고 다른 하나는 실시간 응용 서비스를 지원하기 위한 폴링 (polling) 모드이다. 폴링 모드는 PCF (Point Coordination Function) 라 불리우는 비경쟁 (non contention) 방식의 MAC 프로토콜이다. PCF 는 노드의 지연 (delay)의 증가와 처리율(throughput) 의 감소가 가장 큰 문제가 된다. 처리율 향상을 위해 ERR (Embedded Round Robin) 방식이 제안되었다. 그러나 ERR은 노드의 지연이 여전히 문제로 남아있다. 본 논문에서는 노드의 지연과 처리율을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 QRR (Request Round Robin)을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션에 의하여 제안한 QRR 이 ERR보다 성능향상이 됨을 보인다.
