This paper represents an interworking architecture for keeping the VLC audio quality between Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and IEEE 802.11 Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) where both mobile routers and mobile nodes are moving dynamically. Systematic performance analysis on the interworking architecture has been conducted by using OPNET simulator to show the results such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and throughput. Based on simulation results, when the number of MANET nodes is small, PDR remains relatively stable even though data packets increase. However, with the many MANET nodes, PDR decreases as data traffic increases. Throughput is affected by the number of MANET nodes. Especially when the MANET node density has increased further, throughput is much higher, but it is not affected by the mobility speed. However, FTP download and upload response time is not affected much by both the number of MANET nodes and the mobility speed.

In this paper, we propose a multi-band small antenna with CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) feeding structure WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) bands. The proposed antenna is designed two slit in the modified monopole type radiator and FR-4 substrate, which is thickness 1.0 mm, and the dielectric constant is 4.4. The size of proposed antenna is 15.1 mm⨯16.41 mm, and total size of proposed antenna is 17.5 mm⨯16.4 mm. From the fabrication and measurement results, From the fabrication and measurement results, bandwidths of 439 MHz (2.06 to 2.499 GHz), 840 MHz (3.31 to 4.25) and 1,315 MHz (5.23 to 6.545 GHz) were obtained on the basis of -10 dB impedance bandwidth. Also, 3D radiation pattern characteristics of the proposed antenna are displayed and measured gains 2.24 dBi, 2.83 dBi, and 2.0 dBi shown in the three frequency band, respectively.

This paper presents the analysis of the potential ultra-wideband(UWB) interference to WiMAX at 3.5 GHz bands and the mitigation method using transmit power control(TPC) of UWB system. UWB interference effect is evaluated with WiMax's outage probability over UWB density when multiple UWB systems and single WiMAX receiver distribute in unit area of 1$km^2$, When UWB distribution density is 20$devices/km^2$ and the dynamic range of TPC is 30 dB, UWB interference effect with TPC is decreased by 42 % rather than that without mitigation scheme. Finally, we describe that the proposed TPC is an effective method to mitigate UWB interference to WiMAX.

In this paper, a compact RF Front-end module for Wireless Fidelity(Wi-Fi) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access(WiMAX) applications is realized by low temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) technology. The RF Front-end module is composed of three LTCC band-pass filters, a Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator(FBAR) filter, fully embedded matching circuits, an SPDT switch for mode selection, an SPDT switch for Tx/Rx selection, and an SP4T switch for band selection. The parasitic elements of 0.2~0.3 pF are generated by the structure of stacking in the top pad pattern for DC block capacitor of SPDT switch for mode selection. These kinds of parasitic elements break the matching characteristic, and thus, the overall electrical performance of the module is degraded. In order to compensate it, we insert a parallel lumped-element inductor on capacitor pad pattern for DC block, so that we obtain the optimized performance of the RF Front-end module. The fabricated RF front-end module has 12 layers including three inner grounds and it occupies less than $6.0mm{\times}6.0mm{\times}0.728mm$.
