In this paper, a triple-band U-shaped monopole antenna with T-shaped stub for WLAN(Wireless Local Area Networks)/WiMAX(World interoperability for Microwave Access) applications. The proposed antenna is based on a planar monopole design, and composed of U-shaped of radiating patch, T-shaped strip in U-shaped, for triple-band operation. To obtain the optimized parameters, we used the simulator, Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator(HFSS) and found the parameters that greatly effect antenna characteristics. Using the obtained parameters, the antenna is fabricated. The numerical and experiment results demonstrated that the proposed antenna satisfied the -10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the WLAN and WiMAX bands. And characteristics of gain and radiation patterns are determined for WLAN/WiMAX application.

In this paper, we designed a multiband monopole antenna for next-generation WLAN system. In conventional WLAN system, UWB antennas were used together, and, because the radiation occurs in different parts depending on the antenna structure, it has the disadvantage of having an unstable impulse response characteristic due to dispersion characteristics. Although a UWB antenna that has suitable radiation pattern for WLAN band, it does not have good impedance matching and has severe echo. Therefore, in this paper, a monopole antenna was designed by using CPW power feed so that various impedances can be easily implemented when designing an antenna and more parameters can be derived that can be used for design for optimal performance.

This paper presents an efficient technique for interference suppression in IEEE 802.11b WLAN systems. A linearly constrained adaptive array processor which may improve reception performance of WLAN device by reducing co-channel interference signal and multipath effects effectively was proposed. A spatial smoothing method is used to prevent cancellation of a desired signal in a coherent environment and also integral nulling method is employed to improve the array performance in indoor environment. It was shown that the integral nulling approach performed best while the spatial smoothing method performed better than linearly constrained array processing. The performance of the WLAN system may be improved by the proposed methods which reduce co-channel, coherent, and WPAN interferences effectively.

A WLAN dual band dipole antenna with parasitic elements and a reflector is presented for high gain operation. The parasitic elements are used for practical application and high gain operation of the radiation pattern at the WLAN dual band. The proposed antenna consists of three layers, and has dimensions of $74mm{\times}40 mm{\times}31.4mm$. From the experimental results, the achieved impedance bandwidths were 1035 MHz (2.031-3.066 GHz) and 1119 MHz (5.008-6.127 GHz), respectively. The measured maximum gain at each WLAN band was 6.69 dBi and 7.81 dBi, respectively.

In view of mutual complementary feature of wide coverage and high data rate, the interworking between 3G cellular network and WLAN is a global trend of wireless communications. This paper introduces the analytic result of an authentication mechanism for 3GPP-WLAN seamless mobility under the USIM-based authentication test-bed. In a handover process between heterogeneous networks, authentication is the main factor of handover delay. So authentication processing time should be firstly reduced. This paper describes an USTM-based EAP-AKA test-bed implemented for handover in UMTS and WLAN interworking systems. Experimental result has shown that the fast re-authentication mechanism during handover has reduced the handover delay by about 48.6%.

유선 네트워크와는 달리 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크는 비용면이나, 이동성면에서 장점을 많이 가지고 있다. 이에 대한 표준화가 진행 중에 있지만 많은 문제점과 기술적으로 해결해야 할 부분들이 남아있다. 특히 무선 전송기술인 DCF는 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크에 직접적으로 적용시키기에는 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. DCF를 사용할 경우에는 무선자원을 공유하는 노드의 수가 증가하고 보내려는 패킷이 증가할수록 프레임간 충돌횟수가 급격히 증가해 무선자원의 사용 효율이 현저히 떨어지기 때문이다. 반면 PCF는 노드에게 일정시간 채널을 점유할 권리를 부여함으로써 프레임간 충돌을 없애 무선자원의 사용 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 하지만 트래픽이 적은 경우에는 불필요한 조사 프레임 전송, 조사목록 갱신 등으로 무선자원을 낭비하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 이 두 기술의 장점을 이용하여 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크에 적용시킨다면 데이터 전송의 효율을 증대시킬 수 있다. WLAN 메쉬 네트워크의 기본 통신범위 내에는 많은 노드들이 있으며 이를 계층적으로 나눌 경우 계층에 따라 트래픽의 양에 많은 차이를 보인다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크에서 DCF와 PCF를 트래픽에 따라 유연하게 사용함으로써 전송 효율을 증대시키는 적응형 HMAC 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크가 DCF에 전적으로 의존하는 경우에 비하여 적응형 HMAC 알고리즘이 적용된 WLAN 메쉬 네트워크는 트래픽이 증가할수록 수율, 지연 등에서 더 좋은 성능을 나타내었다.

A hierarchical network between Mobile-WiMAX and WLAN systems is to make it possible to utilize wireless internet services including time sensitive applications such as VoIP, VOD, visual telephony etc. During the process of vertical handoff decision from Mobile-WiMAX to WLAN hotspot, vertical handoff delay causes user dissatisfaction because it doesn't provide the seamless wireless internet service. We make use of type of service (ToS) parameters in IEEE 802.16e specification as the criterion parameter of vertical handoff decision process in hierarchical Mobile-WiMAX/WLAN networks. In this paper, we propose the process of vertical handoff decision for seamless wireless internet service which is sensitive to time delay. If type of service is time sensitive application, the decision of vertical handoff is withdrawn until the service is terminated. In focus on user satisfaction, if the proposed traffic management strategy in hierarchical Mobile-WiMAX/WLAN networks is used, user will utilize seamless wireless internet services including time sensitive applications.

In this paper we apply block turbo coding at the transmitter and iterative decoding algorithm at the receiver for different operating modes, based on the 5 ㎓ IEEE 802.1 la WLAN system, instead of convolutional coding and soft decision viterbi algorithm to improve forward error correcting performance. Experimental results showed that each coding scheme outperforms coding gains of up to 3.5 ㏈ at the BER of 10$\^$-3/.

IEEE 802.11a is a standard for the high-speed wireless local area network (WLAN), supporting from 6 up to 54 Mbps in a 5 GHz band. We propose a channel equalization algerian and a sampling clock recovery algorithm by utilizing the Viterbi decoder output of the IEEE 802.11a WLAN standard. The proposed channel equalizer adaptively compensates channel variations. The proposed system uses re-encoded Viterbi decoder outputs as reference symbols for the adaptation of the channel equalizer. It also extracts sampling phase information with the Viterbi decoder outputs for fine adjustment of the sampling clock. The proposed sampling clock recovery and equalizer are more robust to noise and frequency selective fading environments than conventional systems using only four pilot samples.
