IEEE 802.15.3 High-rate WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network)은 무선으로 약 l0m이내의 근거리 디바이스들을 연결하여 고속 통신을 지원하기 위해 개발되었다. 피코넷(piconet)은 하나의 PNC (Piconet Coordinator)와 하나 이상의 디바이스(device)로 구성된다. 부모 피코넷(parent piconet)에 합류(association)한 디바이스는 PNC가 되어 자식 피코넷(child piconet)을 형성할 수 있다. 부모 피코넷과 자식 피코넷들로 구성된 메쉬(mesh) 네트워크에서는 멀티-홉(multi-hop) 통신이 가능하게 된다. 본 논문에서 메쉬 네트워크의 최대 레벨과 가용 슈퍼프레임 크기를 분석하고, 멀티-홉 전송을 위한 디바이스 탐색시간을 랜덤 메쉬 네트워크 환경에서 분석한다. 일정한 영역에서 디바이스 수가 증가함에 따라 형성되는 메쉬 네트워크의 레벨은 최대 약 1.9까지 가능하며, 가용 슈퍼프레임 크기는 약 52ms이고, 디바이스 탐색시간은 약 155ms 소요됨을 확인할 수 있다.

최근 사물인터넷 기술의 등장과 함께 소형 장치를 이용한 스마트 홈 및 헬스케어 서비스 등의 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 기존 사물 간 통신은 인터넷 통신을 사용하지 않고 Machine to Machine (M2M) 기반의 블루투스 및 ZigBee와 같이 하위 계층의 Personal Area Network (PAN) 기술을 이용하므로 네트워크 장치간의 통신만 지원할 뿐, PAN 네트워크에 속하지 않은 장치와의 통신에 어려움이 많았다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 M2M 통신인 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 네트워크에서 사물인터넷 서비스 제공을 위해 IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN)을 구현하여 저사양 장치에서 인터넷 통신을 가능하도록 하였다. 이를 위해 사물인터넷의 핵심 프로토콜인 Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)을 구현하였다. 테스트베드 구현 및 성능분석 실험을 통해 기존 Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)과 통신 성능을 비교한 결과, CoAP이 HTTP보다 약 2배 우수한 처리량, 약 21% 빠른 평균 전송시간 및 22% 적은 패킷 전송량을 보여줌을 알 수 있었다.

Beacon scheduling is considered to be one of the most significant challenges for energy-efficient Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) multi-hop networks. The emerging new standard, IEEE802.15.4e, contains a distributed beacon scheduling functionality that utilizes a specific bitmap and multi-superframe structure. However, this new standard does not provide a critical recipe for superframe duration (SD) allocation in beacon scheduling. Therefore, in this paper, we first introduce three different SD allocation approaches, LSB first, MSB first, and random. Via experiments we show that IEEE802.15.4e DSME beacon scheduling performs differently for different SD allocation schemes. Based on our experimental results we propose an adaptive SD allocation (ASDA) algorithm. It utilizes a single indicator, a distributed neighboring slot incrementer (DNSI). The experimental results demonstrate that the ASDA has a superior performance over other methods from the viewpoint of resource efficiency.

The High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) is mainly targeted to consumer electronics and portable communication devices which need high rates and QoS. To achieve these goals, the WPAN provides data rates up to 1Gbps and adopts a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) MAC protocol. Since IEEE 802.15.3 MAC is based on TDMA scheme, it has good performance in dealing with real traffics. But it does not give better results for dynamic traffic. For dynamic traffic, IEEE 802.15.3 MAC needs a kind of request and response policy that brings about the degradation of performance in order to adapt to network changes. To overcome this problem and enhance the data throughput, this paper proposes a superframe structure which uses the Enhanced Contention Access Period (ECAP) to transmit data during sleep-CTA in PM mode.

In this paper, we consider a resource allocation scheme for millimeter wave-based wireless personal area networks using directional antennas. This scheme involves scheduling the reservation period of medium access control for IEEE 802.15.3c. Objective functions are considered to minimize the average delay and maximize throughput; and two scheduling algorithms-namely, MInMax concurrent transmission and MAxMin concurrent transmission-are proposed to provide a suboptimal solution to each objective function. These are based on an exclusive region and two decision rules that determine the length of reservation times and the transmission order of groups. Each group consists of flows that are concurrently transmittable via spatial reuse. The algorithms appropriately apply two decision rules according to their objectives. A real video trace is used for the numerical results, which show that the proposed algorithms satisfy their objectives. They outperform other schemes on a range of measures, showing the effect of using a directional antenna. The proposed scheme efficiently supports variable bit rate traffic during the reservation period, reducing resource waste.

WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Networks)에서는 현재 동작중인 PNC(Piconet Coordinator)가 피코넷을 떠나거나 종료하고자 할 때, 피코넷 내의 PNC 능력을 가진 디바이스에게 PNC 역할을 양도할 수 있다. 그러나 WPAN의 권고안에서는 PNC 핸드오버를 위한 PNC 후보 선택에 대해서는 디바이스 성능 정보를 비교하여 선택하는 방안만을 기술되어 있으며, 이에 대한 구체적인 선택 방법은 포함하고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 피코넷 NC가 피코넷 내의 다른 디바이스에게 PNC 기능을 양도하게 될 때에 피코넷의 데이터 처리성능을 최적화 될 수 있게 PNC 수용 디바이스 개수와 밀집도를 고려하여 PNC를 선택하는 방안에 대해 제안한다. 수치 해석의 결과에서 보면 디바이스들이 집중되어 있을수록 평균 데이터 처리량이 증가되는 것을 나타내었고, 최고 두 배까지 향상되었다. 따라서 PNC 후보 선발시 서비스 디바이스 개수와 밀집도를 같이 고려해야만 피코넷 성능을 높일 수 있다.

In this paper, the directional carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol in the immediate acknowledgement mode for IEEE 802.15.3c is analyzed under saturation environments. For the analysis, a sensing region and an exclusive region with a directional antenna are computed probabilistically and a Markov chain model in which the features of IEEE 802.15.3c and the effects of using directional antennas are incorporated is analyzed. An algorithm to find the maximal number of concurrently transmittable frames is proposed. The system throughput and the average transmission delay are obtained in closed forms. The numerical results show the impact of directional antennas on the CSMA/CA media access control (MAC) protocol. For instance, the throughput with a small beamwidth of antenna is more than ten times larger than that for an omnidirectional antenna. The overall analysis is verified by a simulation. The obtained results will be helpful in developing an MAC protocol for enhancing the performance of mmWave wireless personal area networks.

This paper presents a concurrent channel time allocation scheme used in the reservation period for concurrent transmissions in 60-GHz wireless personal area networks (WPANs). To this end, the proposed resource allocation scheme includes an efficient method for creating a concurrent transmission group by using a table that indicates whether individual streams experience interference from other streams or not. The coordinator device calculates the number of streams that can be concurrently transmitted with each stream and groups them together on the basis of the calculation result. Then, the coordinator device allocates resources to each group such that the streams belonging to the same group can transmit data concurrently. Therefore, when the piconet coordinator (PNC) allocates the channel time to the individual groups, it should allow for maximizing the overall capacity. The performance evaluation result demonstrates that the proposed scheme outperforms the random grouping scheme in terms of the overall capacity when the beamwidth is $30^{\circ}C$ and the radiation efficiency is 0.9.

As electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are generally sampled with a frequency of over 200 Hz, a method to compress diagnostic information without losing data is required to store and transmit them efficiently on a wireless personal area network (WPAN). In this paper, an ECG signal compression method for communications onWPAN, which uses feature points based on curvature, is proposed. The feature points of P, Q, R, S, and T waves, which are critical components of the ECG signal, have large curvature values compared to other vertexes. Thus, these vertexes were extracted with the proposed method, which uses local extrema of curvatures. Furthermore, in order to minimize reconstruction errors of the ECG signal, extra vertexes were added according to the iterative vertex selectionmethod. Through the experimental results on the ECG signals from Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Beth Israel hospital arrhythmia database, it was concluded that the vertexes selected by the proposed method preserved all feature points of the ECG signals. In addition, it was more efficient than the amplitude zone time epoch coding method.
