In wireless local area networks (WLANs), the successful design of scheduling algorithm is a key factor in guaranteeing the various quality of service (QoS) requirements for the stringent real-time constraints of multimedia services. In this paper we propose a multipolling-based dynamic scheduling algorithm for providing delay guarantees to multimedia traffics such as MPEG streams. The dynamic algorithm exploits the characteristics of MPEG stream, and uses mini frames for feedback control in order to deliver dynamic parameters for channel requests from stations to the point coordinator (PC) operating at the access point (AP). In this scheme, the duration of channel time allocated to a station during a superframe is changed dynamically depending on the MPEG frame type, traffic load and delay bound of the frame, etc. Performance of the proposed scheme is investigated by simulation. Our results show that compared to conventional scheme, the proposed scheme is very effective and has high performance while guaranteeing the delay bound.

Design of efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols with both high throughput performances is a major focus in distributed contention based MAC protocol research. In this paper, we propose an efficient contention based MAC protocol for wireless Local Area Networks, namely, the Developed Collision Resolution (DCR) algorithm. This algorithm is developed based on the following innovative ideas: to speed up the collision resolution, we actively redistribute the backoff timers for all active nodes; to reduce the average number of idle slots, we use smaller contention window sizes for nodes with successful packet transmissions and reduce the backoff timers exponentially fast when a fixed number of consecutive idle slots are detected. We show that the proposed DCR algorithm provides high throughput performance and low latency in wireless LANs.

Recently, wireless LANs are often applied in home or office because of its various of convenience. Frequency range of wireless LANs specified by IEEE 802.11b is at 2.4 GHz. The bluetooth, the microwave oven, and the PDA(Personal Digital Assistants) uses, however, the same frequency band. So problems will be produced in these environments, such as multi-pass interference and system-to-system interference. These problems can be eliminated by using EM wave absorber. In this paper, we designed and fabricated EM wave absorber using MnZn-Ferrite, Sendust, and CPE( Chlorinated Polyethylene). The EM wave absorber with the ratio of material (MnZn-Ferrite : Sendust : CPE = 64 : 16 : 20 wt.%) has thickness of 3.7 mm and absorption ability more than 17 dB at 2.4 GHz.

This paper studies the rapid design and implementation of the medium access control(MAC) and related interface circuits for 802.11 wireless LANs based on the field programmed gate ar-ray(FPGA) technology. Our design is thus aimed to support both the distributed coordination function (DCF) and the point coordination function(PCF) with the aid of FPGA technology. Further-more, in an infrastructure network, some stations may serve as the access points (APs) which may function like a learning bridge. This paper will also discuss how to design for such application. The hardware of the MAC and interface may at least consist of three major parts: wireless transmission and reception processes and in-terface, host(bus) interface, and the interface to the distributed system (optional). Through the increasing popularity of FPGA de-sign, this paper presents how Complex Programmable Logic De-vices(CPLD) can be utilized for speedy design of prototypes. It also demonstrates that there is much room for low-cost hardware prototype design to accelerate the processing speed of the MAC control function and for field testing.

A number of wireless technologies have been implemented, but each technology has its limitation in terms of coverage and bandwidth. WLAN and 3G cellular network has emerged to be a complementary platform for wireless data communications. However, the mobility of roaming terminals in heterogeneous networks poses several risks. To maintain secure communications in universal roaming, the effective authentication must be implemented. The focus of this paper is on analysis of authentication architecture involved in integrated WLAN/3G networks.

A modified PCF(Point Coordination Function) protocol with the optimal polling sequence is defined in detail and shown to improve the efficiency of the conventional PCF protocol in IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard. The problem for the optimal polling sequence is formulated as TSP(Travelling Salesman Problem) with the distance values of 1's or 0's. Numerical examples show that the optimal polling sequence increases the capacity of the real-time service such as VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol).

Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) in IEEE 802.11 and Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) in IEEE 802.11e are contention-based access mechanism in Wireless LAN. Both DCF and EDCA reduce collisions based on inter-frame space (IFS) and backoff mechanisms. However, collisions are unavoidable even with the two mechanisms. Especially, in the EDCA model, the collision can be classified into interclass and intraclass collision. To eliminate interclass collision in Wireless LAN, we propose an interclass collision protection (ICP) scheme by employing contention protection period (CPP) after backoff, Analysis is performed for one dimensional EDCA model and for the proposed ICP based EDCA model.

Distributed coordination function(DCF) is the primary random access mechanism of IEEE 802.11, which is the basic protocol of wireless LAN based on the CSMA/CA protocol. It enables fast installation with minimal management and maintenance costs and is a very robust protocol for the best effort service in wireless medium. The current DCF, however, is known to be unsuitable for real-time applications such as voice message transmission. In this paper, we focus on the performance issues of IEEE 802.11 which accommodate the prioritized messages. Existing results use the initial window size and backoff window-increasing factor as tools to handle the priority of the messages. Instead, we introduce a novel scheme which chooses the backoff timer with arbitrary probabilities. By this, one can greatly reduce the backoff delay of the lower priority messages without degrading the performance of higher priority.

In this paper, we propose a distributed opportunistic scheduling scheme for wireless LAN network. Proportional fair scheduling is one of the opportunistic scheduling schemes and used for centralized networks, whereas we design distributed proportional fair scheduling (DPFS). In the proposed DPFS scheme, each receiver estimates channel condition and calculates independently its own priority with probabilistic manner, which can reduce excessive probing overhead required to gather the channel conditions of all receivers. We evaluate the proposed DPFS using extensive simulation and simulation results show that DPFS obtains up to 23% higher throughput than conventional scheduling schemes and has a flexibility to control the fairness and throughput by controlling the system parameter.

This paper distinguish between the types of LANs used to connect the internet used by many in the fourth industrial era and compare speeds. 802.11 is fastest and it's running at 300Mbps. And second fastest is running at 54Mbps. In compare second, 802.11n is faster second at six times. So we can prediction the wireless lan's transmission speed will be faster in future.
