In this paper, a novel UWB(Ultra Wide-band) antenna with suppressed band of IEEE 802.11a($5.15{\sim}5.825\;GHz$) WLAN was designed and fabricated by using SRR(Split Ring Resonator) with band rejection property. MWS(Micro-wave Studio) of CST company was utilized in the design stage. The antenna was fabricated on a substrate, Rogers 4003, with the thickness of 0.8 mm and relative permittivity of 3.38. The measured result shows that the proposed antenna has a good return loss below -10 dB and group delay below 1nsec over UWB communication band($3.1{\sim}10.6\;GHz$) except WLAN band. It also shows the omni-directional radiation pattern.

In the context-aware services, localization is an important technical element. Due to the easy to use and low cost, it was widely enabled with RF properties such as RSSI. However, RSSI is known to be not appropriated for indoor localization, because it tends to show big variance in time and is greatly effected with the multipath. This paper proposes a distance estimation process and its constituted methods for indoor localization, by making use of the other WLAN's RF property, CSI(Channel State Information). Firstly we define a comprehensive localization process, and suggest a calibration algorithm of environment factors in the path loss propagation model. Then, by implementing them with a commercial WLAN module, an the proposed process and methods are evaluated in terms of usefulness.

Call blocking probabilities of streaming data service in CDMA system with access point(AP) of WLAN are analyzed for different cell geometry of base station and AP and queuing is modeled. The considered system leads to successful handoffs between the APs of WLAN. Blocking probabilities are enumerated as a function for ratio of base station and AP sizes, their locations and the number of buffer in the queue. Results show that blocking probability is not influenced by base station and AP locations but mainly by ratio of their sizes. For CDMA system of radius 100m, 5 buffers in the queue and 7㏈ noise rise(NR), in order to obtain 1% call blocking probability, a cell with hot spot of radius 20m has more 0.6Erlang than that of radius 60m.

In this paper, the compact CPW-fed antenna with triple folded patch for dual-band WLAN applications is proposed. As the conventional double inverted-L antenna is changed into the C-shaped patch and double inverted-L antenna, the antenna overcomes the narrow-band characteristics according to the miniaturization of the antenna. The proposed antenna with the size of only $16.5mm{\times}29.5mm{\times}1.0mm$ is designed and fabricated by optimized parameters to be operated at 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band. The antenna is fabricated into FR-4 substrate with thickness of 1.0 mm. We confirm that it is operated as antenna for WLAN applications by obtaining the measured return loss level of < -10 dB at dual-band.

Recently, the Fingerprint, which is one of the methods of indoor localization using WLAN, has been many studied owing to robustness about ranging error by the diffraction and refraction of radio waves. However, in the signal gathering process and comparison operation for the measured signals with the database, this method requires time consumption and computational complexity. In order to compensate for these problems, this paper presents, based on proposed modified database, WLAN indoor localization algorithm using selective operation of collected signal in real time. The proposed algorithm reduces the configuration time and the size of the data in the database through linear interpolation and thresholding according to the signal strength, the localization accuracy, while reducing the computational complexity, is maintained through selective operation of the signals which are measured in real time. The experimental results show that the accuracy of localization is improved to 17.8% and the computational complexity reduced to 46% compared to conventional Fingerprint in the corridor by using proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a design method for a dual-band monopole antenna operating in the bands of 2.45 GHz WLAN and UWB is studied. A monopole antenna operating in UWB band is first designed, and a slot is inserted on the monopole to operate in 2.45 GHz WLAN band. The optimized dual-band monopole antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experimental results show that the antenna has a dual-band characterisitc in WLAN and UWB bands with the frequency bands of 2.35-2.50 GHz and 2.99-11.82 GHz for a VSWR < 2. Measured gain is 1 dBi at 2.45 GHz, and ranges 1.5-4.6 dBi in the frequency band of 3.1-10.6 GHz.

In this paper, we propose a performance improving MAC algerian for the IEEE 802.11 DCF. WLAN based IEEE 802.11 uses two control methods called 'Distributed Coordination Function(UF)' and 'Point Coordination Function(PCF)'. The nF controls the Urnsmission based on carrier sense multiple access with collision detection(CSMA/CA), that decides a random backoff time with the range of contention window for each terminal. Normally, each terminal the CW double after collision, and reduces the CW to the minimum after successful transmission. This paper proposes an enhanced DCF algorithm that decreases the CW smoothly after successful transmission in order to reduce the collision Probability by utilizing the current status information of WLAN. We also analyze the throughput and delay performance for the unsaturated case mathematically. Simulation results show that our algorithm enhances the saturation throughput of WLAN. They also coincide well with the analytical results.

Owing to the proliferation of smart phone users, a proactive spectrum policy is needed in order to deal with increasing data traffic. Therefore, the prediction of frequency requirements for future wireless local area network (WLAN) as well as a licensed cellular communication is necessary. In this paper, we proposed a new prediction method for WLAN spectrum requirements. This method includes both a traditional prediction method and an offloading percentage from cellular network, Also, it can consider a frequency interference between access points using a statistical approach. Based on these approaches, we can predict the spectrum requirements of future domestic WLAN services considering the frequency interference. Finally, we suggest the spectrum policy for WLAN which can prevent spectrum shortage of future WLAN services.
