In IEEE 802.15.4 (Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network) specification, a successful reception and validation of a data or MAC command frame can be confirmed with an acknowledgment. However, the specification does not support security for acknowledgment frame; the lack of a MAC covering acknowledgments allows an adversary to forge an acknowledgment for any frame. This paper proposes an identity authentication mechanism at the link layer for acknowledgment frame in IEEE 802.15.4 network. With the proposed mechanism there is only three bits for authentication, which can greatly reduce overhead. The encrypted bit stream for identity authentication will be transmitted to device by coordinator within association process. Statistical method indicates that our mechanism is successful in handling MAC layer attack.

In this paper, we first introduce our own binary CDMA technology. Then we propose a wireless distribution automation system using the binary CDMA technology. The major research items are the binary CDMA distribution automation system, piconet configuration for remote control and monitoring, scheduling for the transmission and reception of data, and ways of applying encryption to protect wireless packet. To verify the possibility of applying wireless transmission to the distribution automation system, we experiment the implemented system in terms of the transmission rate by applying it to a real-world environment.

The IEEE 802.11 standard has been used for wireless data networks such as wireless LAN, ad-hoc network, and vehicular ad-hoc network. Thus, the performance analysis of the IEEE 802.11 specification has been one of the hottest issues for network optimization and resource management. Most of the analysis studies were performed in a data plane of the IEEE 802.11 unicast. However, IEEE 802.11 broadcast is widely used for topology management, path management, and data dissemination. Thus, it is important to understand the performance of the broadcast scheme for the design of efficient wireless data network. In this contort, we analyze the IEEE 802.11 broadcast scheme in terms of the broadcast frame reception probability according to the distance from a sending node. Unlike the other works, our analysis framework includes not only the system parameters of the IEEE 802.11 specification such as transmission range, data rate, minimum contention window but also the networking environments such as the number of nodes, network load, and the radio propagation environments. Therefore, our analysis framework is expected to be used for the development of protocols and algorithms in a dynamic wireless data network.

Design and implementation of the MAC protocol processor prototype for high speed wireless LAN, which has interface with 5GHz OFDM PHY layer, is presented. We analyze the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol specification and then separate the MAC protocol functions to be implemented by hardware and firmware and define the interface in which frames can be exchanged. That is, it is considered that high speed queue processing and interfaces with RISC processor and OFDM PHY layer. Protocol control and transmission/reception functions of the MAC functions are implemented in hardware in order to guarantee high speed processing in MAC layer. The developed MAC hardware block operates at 10MHz main clock. Therefore, transmission rate in PHY layer is about 80Mbps because data transmission/reception between MAC layer and PHY layer is performed as unit of octet. The designed FPGA MAC function chip has been implemented in wireless LAN test board and it is verified that DCF function is operated correctly.

The roadside unit (RSU) collects vehicle information from vehicles in the intelligent transportation system (ITS). The vehicle density on the road within the communication range of a RSU is a time varying parameter. The higher the vehicle density, the more vehicle information can be collected. Therefore, the probability of packet collision will be raised. In this paper, an adaptive transmission scheme is proposed to improve the probability of packet reception rate by changing the data rate and transmission period according to the vehicle density. The performance of IEEE 802.11p MAC protocol that is a standard for vehicular communications is evaulated in terms of the vehicle density with the ns-2,33 simulator.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive beacon scheduling algorithm to control a reception period of actual data according to variation of amount of traffic in IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN(Low Rate-Wireless Personal Area Network) with the cluster-tree topology. If a beacon interval is shortened, the amount of the traffic a node receives can be increased while consumption of the energy can be also increased. In this sense, we can achieve optimal on orgy consumption by controlling the beacon interval when the amount of data to be received is being decreased. The result of simulation using NS-2 shows that the proposed algorithm improves performances in terms of packet loss rate and end-to-end delay compared with algorithm using a fixed beacon interval. For a design of cluster-tree based LR-WPAN managing delay-sensitive services, the proposed algorithm and the associated results can be applied usefully.

With the development of networks, multimedia communication has expanded its application field. From the remote control for household electric appliances to medicine, games, video conferencing and multimedia chatting, multimedia communication is being used in all parts of our lives. This multimedia communication requires the transmission of a lot of data at high speed. But if the transmission rate of the communication network exceeds the processing speed of being used in the high speed network environment, a bottleneck occurs in each node and deteriorates the performance of the network. This is the main reason for the slow speed of data transmission and packet loss. In this paper, considering the client's processing performance, reception performance was predicted and the way of flow control was shown. The computing performance of relevant Processor and its performance was estimated through the actual implementation.

In this paper, propose an algorithm to improve network lifetime by equally consuming energy of LEACH - Mobile sensor nodes. LEACH is one of energy efficient protocols. However, we did not consider the mobility of nodes. Therefore, the transmission reception success rate of the moving data is reduced. LEACH-Mobile is a protocol that has improved the drawbacks of these LEACH. However, since LEACH-Mobile has a larger number of data packets and consumes more energy than LEACH, it has a disadvantage that the lifetime of the network is short. In order to improvement these disadvantage, Based on the average of the remaining energy of the node, cluster heads are elected with a number of nodes whose energies are larger than the average of the remaining energy from the member nodes. After that, by trying to increase the lifetime of the network by equalizing the remaining energy. In to confirm whether improve the lifetime of the network, In this paper, the number of nodes and the position of all nodes are varied for each specific round, the rest energy is equalized, and the algorithm which uniformly selected the cluster head is compared with LEACH.

Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) is the next drive in the broadband mobile communication, which allows operators to improve networks performance and service capabilities. LTE-A targets the peak data rates of 1Gbps in the downlink and 500Mbps in the uplink. This requirement is only fulfilled by a transmission bandwidth of up to 100MHz. However the accessibility of such large part of the contiguous spectrum is uncommon in practice. Therefore LTE-A uses some new features on top of the existing LTE standards to provide very high data rate transmission. Some of the most significant features introduced in LTE-A are carrier aggregation, heterogeneous network enhancement, coordinated multipoint transmission and reception, enhanced multiple input and multiple output, and development relay nodes with universal frequency reuse. This review paper presents an overview of the above mentioned LTE-A key features and functionalities. Based on this review, in the conclusion we discuss the current technical challenges for future broadband mobile communication systems.
