유무선 네트워크 환경에서는 사용자 I P 주소와 클라이언트 단말의 MAC 주소 정보를 등록/관리하여 인증 등을 수행하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 MAC 주소 등록/관리 방식은 공격자 자신의 MAC 주소 값을 클라이언트의 MAC 주소 값으로 변경하는 MAC Spoofing 공격에 취약하기 때문에 이에 대한 대처 방안이 제시되어야 한다. 무선 네트워크 환경에서 MAC Spoofing 공격을 탐지하기 위해 기존에 제시된 기법은 패킷의 시퀀스 번호 등에 기초하여 MAC 주소 값의 변경 등을 순차적으로 판별하는 기법이었으나 무선 공격에 대한 탐지/차단 기능을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 무선 네트워크에서 AirSensor와 AP를 기반으로 무선 트래픽에 대한 정보를 수집하고 W-TMS에 구축된 MAC Address Lookup 테이블을 통해 실시간으로 MAC Spoofing 공격을 탐지하며, 다시 AP를 통해 해당 공격 트래픽을 차단할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 탐지 및 차단 알고리즘은 성능평가 결과 MAC Spoofing 공격 시도에 대해서 고성능의 탐지/차단 기능을 수행하였으며 최소한의 무선 트래픽 전송 지연만으로도 무선 MAC Spoofing 공격에 대해 실시간으로 대응한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

무선 센서 네트워크 기술은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경의 급성장중인 기술이며 다양한 분야에서 응용과 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 센서 노드들은 분산 네트워크 환경에서 배터리를 이용하여 Life cycle을 유지하기 때문에 QoS 요구보다는 에너지 효율이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 사항을 고려하여 IEEE802.15.4의 MAC 프로토콜에서는 트래픽에 적응적인 MAC 프로토콜 연구와 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에 신뢰성과 효율성이 강조된 표준화 작업을 진행중에 있지만, 에너지 효율이 줄어든 만큼 센서 노드의 응답속도가 떨어지는 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 동기식 방식과 하이브리드 방식의 MAC 프로토콜을 분석하여 전체네트워크의 에너지 효율이 개선된 MAC 프로토콜을 설계하였다.

The broadband wireless access industry, which provides high-tate network connections to stationary sites, has matured to the point at which it now has a standard for second-generation wireless metropolitan area networks. IEEE Standard 802.16, with its WirelessMAN air interface, set the stage for widespread and effective deployments worldwide. This paper presents an implementation of media access control that can be applied to BWA (Broadband Wireless Access) system. Medium access control (MAC) is a key issue in multi-access networks where a common channel is shared by many users. The designed MAC prototype roughly consists of MAC Hardware and MAC Software. The MAC Hardware part includes timing process, MAC transmission control, MAC reception control, and CRC/HCS process. The MAC Software part includes control of MAC signaling, network interface, and Physical (PHY) control. The designed MAC protocol will be integrated with the PHY of BWA in future and we can test overall system performance of MAC and PHY.

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Networks)은 인체를 기준으로 인체 내 외부로부터 반경 3미터 이내의 무선통신이다. WBAN은 WBAN MAC 프로토콜 요구사항에 적합한 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜을 많이 사용하고 있다. IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜은 QoS(Quality of Service)를 요구하는 응용프로그램들의 패킷 전송을 보장하기 위해 비경쟁 접근 방식에 의한 GTS(Guaranteed Time Slot) 할당 기법을 지원한다. 그러나 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜의 GTS 할당 기법은 패킷이 도착한 순서에 따라 채널을 할당하는 FIFS(First In First Service) 큐잉을 사용하여 패킷을 처리함으로서 데이터 전송 신뢰도를 저하시키고, 전송 지연이 발생하여 응급 데이터 전송에 적합하지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 응급 데이터 전송을 위한 우선순위 기반 WBAN MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 MAC 프로토콜은 전송하려는 데이터에 우선순위를 부여하여 응급 데이터의 GTS 요청 처리율을 높이고 GTS 할당 지연시간을 감소시켜 응급 데이터 전송 신뢰도를 향상시킨다.

This paper proposes an X-MAC/BEB protocol that runs a binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm on top of an X-MAC protocol to save more energy by reducing collision, especially in densely populated wireless sensor networks (WSNs). X-MAC, a lightweight asynchronous duty cycle medium access control (MAC) protocol, was introduced for spending less energy than its predecessor, B-MAC. One of X-MAC 's conspicuous technique is a mechanism to allow senders to promptly send their data when their receivers wake up. X-MAC, however, has no mechanism to deal with sudden traffic fluctuations that often occur whenever closely located nodes simultaneously diffuse their sense data. To precisely evaluate the impact of the BEB algorithm on X-MAC, this paper builds an analytical model of X-MAC/BEB that integrates the BEB model with the X-MAC model. The analytical and simulation results confirmed that X-MAC/BEB outperformed X-MAC in terms of throughput, delay, and energy consumption, especially in congested WSNs.

WSNs is evolving different kinds of networks depending on different circumstances, among those we have HWSNs (Hybrid Wireless Sensor Networks) which invokes sensor nodes mobility. In hybrid wireless sensor networks (HWSNs), reducing energy consumption of resource constrained and adaptability to the sensors nodes motion are the crucial problems; to overcome this we need a scalable MAC protocol. Many MAC protocols have been proposed by different researchers, but in this paper we propose LMAC because it outperforms S-MAC, T-MAC and D-MAC protocols comparing to its improvement of energy efficiency and mobile adaptability.

The fundamental design goal of wireless sensor MAC protocols is to minimize unnecessary power consumption of the sensor nodes, because of its stringent resource constraints and ultra-power limitation. In existing MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), duty cycling, in which each node periodically cycles between the active and sleep states, has been introduced to reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Existing MAC schemes, however, use a fixed duty cycling regardless of multi-hop communication and traffic fluctuations. On the other hand, there is a tradeoff between energy efficiency and delay caused by duty cycling mechanism in multi-hop communication and existing MAC approaches only tend to improve energy efficiency with sacrificing data delivery delay. In this paper, we propose two different MAC schemes (ADS-MAC and ELA-MAC) using closed-loop control in order to achieve both energy savings and minimal delay in wireless sensor networks. The two proposed MAC schemes, which are synchronous and asynchronous approaches, respectively, utilize an adaptive timer and a successive preload frame with closed-loop control for adaptive duty cycling. As a result, the analysis and the simulation results show that our schemes outperform existing schemes in terms of energy efficiency and delivery delay.

The distributed coordination function (DCF) and point coordination function (PCF) protocols are the basic MAC protocols for legacy IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11e, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n wireless LANs. When the DCF protocol is used for the various versions of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, the MAC performance seriously degrades due to the collisions among the stations (STAs) as more and more STAs attempt to transmit their data frames. On the other hand, the PCF MAC performance becomes poor when many STAs exist in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, however, only small number of STAs actually attempt to transmit their data frames. In this paper, we propose the algorithm for improving the MAC performance by selectively using the DCF and PCF protocols according to the state of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. Numerical examples are presented to show the MAC performance improvement by the selective use of the DCF and PCF protocols according to the network state.

The DCF (Dcistributed Coordination Function) and PCF (Point Coordination Function) are the basic MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. According to the DCF, each node performs the exponential backoff algorithm before the transmission of its data frame. Each node doubles the backoff waiting time before the transmission of its data frame whenever it detects the transmission collision with other nodes. Therefore, as the number of the active nodes having the data frames to transmit increases, the overall MAC performance of the DCF decreases. On the other hand, according to the PCF, each node is granted the transmission opportunity by which the PCF transmission is possible without the collision with other nodes. Therefore, as the number of the active nodes increases, the MAC performance of the PCF increases, In this paper, considering the tradeoff of MAC performance between the DCF and PCF, a hybrid MAC protocol is proposed to enhance the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.

In this paper, a collision-free resource reservation scheme for WUSB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus) networks with WiMedia D-MAC (Distributed Medium Access Control). Since distributed characteristic of the WiMedia D-MAC supporting DRP (Distributed Reservation Protocol) scheme may cause lots of conflicts, overall performances of the WUSB with WiMedia D-MAC can be deteriorated. In addition, when we consider multi-hop environment, "mobile" hidden node problem due to mobility of WUSB devices can be happened, and it is a critical problem to mobile WUSB devices transceiving real-time QoS (Quality of Service) traffic. To tackle the problem, we propose a new DRP reservation mechanism to prevent DRP conflicts for multi-hop mobility support in WUSB networks with WiMedia D-MAC and show its improved performance via simulation results.
