  • Wireless LANs are being used in many fields due to their ease of use. The biggest advantage of the WLAN can be said above all mobility. Domestic wired internet service has been saturated since 2006, but wireless internet users have been steadily increasing. However, WLAN has many advantages and characteristics of wireless service. It has a number of security vulnerabilities, and various security related technologies have been developed and applied to solve these problems. On the other hand, security awareness of WLAN users is still insufficient, and security accidents such as personal information leakage occur repeatedly every year. We will study the main weaknesses that can occur in WLAN and suggest security measures from the management level.

  • When a single source of multimedia contents is distributed to multiple reproduction devices, the audio and video contents require synchronous play for multi-channel stereo sound and lip-synchronization. The multimedia system in vehicle, especially, has researched to move to wireless environments from legacy wired environments. This paper proposes the advanced algorithm for providing synchronized services of real-time multimedia traffic in IEEE 802.11 WLANs [1]. For these, we implement the advanced IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol [2] and the environments for simulation. Also, we estimate and analysis performance of the algorithm, then we experiment and analysis after the porting of algorithm in wireless LAN devices (Linksys wrt-350n AP network device) to characterize timing synchronization accuracy.

  • Network bandwidth is one of the major factors that impact the cost of a video service. In this paper we propose approaches to reducing the bandwidth requirement for transporting MPEG-4 video traffic over wireless LANs while guaranteeing a required level of quality of service(QoS). To support high quality video playbacks, video frames must be transported to the client prior to their playback times. A real-time transmission scheduling is used for this purpose, which transmits each frame assigned with a priority according to its importance. It addresses the challenge for a scheduling algorithm that efficiently handles the changing workloads of MPEG-4 video traffic. The goal of our research is to maximize the number of frames that are transported within their deadlines while minimizing the tardiness of frames that missed their deadlines. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of similar service mechanisms through extensive simulation experiments.

  • 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 a 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. IEEe 802.11.e contains two MAC mechanisms for providing QoS: EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) and HCCA (HCF Controlled Channel Access). Using these standardized MAC mechanisms as a building platform, various admission control mechanisms can be combined to offer QoS gurantees for multimedia traffic. This paper surveys these research efforts.

  • Information and communication technologies are developing rapidly as IC chip size becomes smaller and information processing becomes faster. With this development, digital circuit technology is being widely applied to mobile phones, wireless LANs, mobile terminals, and digital communications, in which high frequency range of GHz is used. In high-density electronic circuits, issues of noise and EMC(Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) arising from cross talk between interconnects or devices should be solved. In this study, sheet-type electromagnetic wave absorbers that cause electromagnetic wave attenuation are fabricated using composites based on soft magnetic metal powder and silicon rubber to solve the problem of electromagnetic waves generated in wireless communication products operating at the frequency range of 2.4 GHz. Sendust(Fe-Si-Al) and carbonyl iron(Fe-C) were used as soft magnetic metals, and their concentrations and sheet thicknesses were varied. Using soft magnetic metal powder, a sheet is fabricated to exhibit maximum electromagnetic attenuation in the target frequency band, and a value of 34.2dB(99.9 % absorption) is achieved at the target frequency.

  • The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (Local Area Network) is widely used for wireless access due to its easy deployment and low cost. Multicast in wireless LANs is very useful for transmitting data to multiple receivers compared to unicast to each receiver. In the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, multicast transmissions are unreliable since multicast data packets are transmitted without any feedback from receivers. Recently, various protocols have been proposed to enhance the reliability of multicast transmissions. They still have serious problems in reliability and efficiency due to the excessive control overhead by the use of a large number of control packets in the error recovery process, and due to a large number of retransmissions to satisfy all receivers. In this paper, we propose an effective scheme called PTRM(Proactive Transmission based Reliable Multicast). The proposed scheme uses a block erasure code to generate parity packets and to reduce the impact of independent packet error among receivers. After generating parity packets, the PTRM transmits data packets as many as receivers need to recover error, and then requests feedback from them. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides reliable multicast while minimizing the feedback overhead.

  • Medium access control is critical in wireless networks for efficient spectrum utilization. In this paper, we introduce a novel collision resolution method based on the technique of known interference cancellation, and propose a new MAC protocol named as CR-MAC, in which AP tries to decode all the collided data packets by combining partial retransmissions and known interference cancellation. As the collided transmissions are fully utilized, less retransmission is required, especially in a crowded network. The NS-2simulation and MATLAB numerical results show that, under various network settings, CR-MAC performs much better than the IEEE 802.11 DCF in terms of the aggregation throughput and the expected packet delay.

  • This paper presents a new dynamically adaptable polling scheme for efficient support of real-time traffic over an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN network. The poll scheduling plays an important role in IEEE 802.11 PCF. However, the current version of the polling list management scheme proposed in the IEEE 802.11 standard is inefficient when a variable number of mobile stations have variable packets to transmit. If Point Coordinator has an exact information on the station status, it is possible to efficiently perform polling. In this paper, we suggest an adaptable polling scheme to meet requirements of the stations. In our scheme, each station transmits packets including a piggyback information to inform that it wants to receive a poll in the next polling duration. Simulation results indicate that our scheme may reduces the packet discard ratio and real-time packet transfer delay.

  • 무선랜은 무선으로 근거리 단말들을 연결하는 통신 기술로, 높은 데이터 전송률을 제공할 수 있다. 무선랜은 보통 하나의 AP와 하나 이상의 단탈 기기가 BSS를 구성하는데 AP에서 거리가 멀리 떨어진 단말은 신호의 세기가 약해지므로 고속 데이터 전송률의 보장을 반을 수 없는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 단말중 일부를 리피터로 이용함으로써 그룹화를 통해 고속 데이터 전송을 가능하게 하는 방법을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 무선 단말의 그룹화를 위한 깊이우선탐색 알고리즘과 넓이우선탐색 알고리즘을 비친, 분석하였다. 그 결과 넓이우선탐색 알고리즘이 무선 단말을 위한 그룹화에 보다 효과적인 알고리즘임을 보였다.
