An integrated ship area network has functionality of remote control and autonomous management of various sensors and instruments embedded or boarded in a ship. For such environment, a wireless bridge is essential to transmit control and/or managing information to sensors or instruments from a central integrated ship area network station. In this paper, one of reliable schemes of In-ship sensor networks using a Grid-based WPAN is proposed. The proposed scheme is based on a novel grid network which allows a multi-path communication, and is robust, energy efficient. The results demonstrate that the proposed Grid-based WPAN outperforms the IEEE 802.15.4 based network in terms of success ratio and power efficiency.

In this paper, we present a low-complexity non-coherent demodulation algorithm and hardware architecture for LR-WPAN systems which can support the variable data rate for various applications. The need for LR-WPAN systems that can support the variable data rate is increasing due to the emergence of various sensor applications. Since the existing symbol based double correlation (SBDC) algorithm requires the increase of complexity to support the variable data rate, we propose the sample based double correlation (SPDC) algorithm which can be implemented without the increase of complexity. The proposed non-coherent demodulator was designed by verilog HDL and implemented with FPGA prototype board.

As the Internet of Thing(IoT) technology recently has become a big issue, many researches have been carried out to link the Internet of things with the home network system. Various home network systems are being implemented to connect many devices used in the home with the Internet and to control and operate the devices using a smart phone. However, existing protocols that operate on the Internet are not suitable for a limited environment such as low power, low capacity, and low performance. Therefore, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Working Group proposed the CoAP/6LoWPAN technology as a suitable protocol for internetworking IoT devices with the Internet in a limited environment and adopting it as a standard. In this paper, a smart home network system is implemented to control and operate various IoT devices in a home using CoAP/6LoWPAN in mobile environment. The performance of HTTP and CoAP such as data transmission time, data transmission rate is analyzed.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for real-time data retransmission in LR-WPAN to support the required QoS even in the severe channel error environments. In IEEE 802.15.4a, as the user data rate is supported up to 850Kbps, the real-time streaming data can be transferred more easily. In this research, we study the beacon-enabled mode in IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN standard. In the proposed scheme, special slots are dynamical1y assigned for retransmission of the packet that fails during a real-time data service, and in the severe channel error environments a time diversity is acquired. Analytical results show that the proposed scheme is more robust and achieves a much higher throughput than the previous protocol in LR-WPAN.

In this paper the platform system for IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WPAN is designed and fabricated. IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WP AN system serves the functions and realization of home-area network. According to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, there are two modes, One is BPSK modulation in 868/915MHz frequency band. The other is O-QPSK modulation in 2.45GHz frequency band. In this paper we implemented the platform system mounted in one PCB board in 868/915MHz frequency band of IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WPAN system. We measured that the platform system which consists of digital part and RF part has good performance. Also RF part is realized by design and fabrication of the RF transceiver IC. The key issue is to make the platform system which provides the function of Low Rate WPAN system to meet the requirement of IEEE 802.15.4 standards.

Visible light communication based wireless personal area network (WPAN) has recently remained in the center of attention, as it shows a lot of promise to a be a perfect replacement for the contemporary Radio frequency (RF) communication at least in the indoor environment. A commercially deployable VLC based WPAN must support diverse traffic requirement for different kinds of service. In this paper, we have proposed an innovative bandwidth allocation scheme for VLC based WPAN. We wish to allocate bandwidth adaptively for users in a network where bandwidth for each user is allocated scalably. Our aim is to allow maximum number of users in a VLC based WPAN where each user is guaranteed their required QoS. The simulation results justify that the proposed scheme is better than the conventional scheme.

HR-WPAN(802.15.3)의 CTAP에는 Time Slot(CTA) 할당 스케줄링 기법이 적용되어 있지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 CTAP의 채널 할당 방식에 유선망의 패킷 스케줄링방법인 WFQ(Weighted Fair Queuing)를 적용하고자 한다. 현재 표준에서 TDMA를 적용하기 위한 명확한 스케줄링 기법이 없으며, 대량의 트래픽으로 인해 소량의 트래픽이 기아현상을 겪을 수 있는 공정성(Fairness)의 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 각각의 DEV들에 가중치를 적용하여 공정한 방법으로 채널을 할당 받고자 한다. 이를 통해 HR-WPAN의 채널 할당방식에 있어서의 공정성 문제를 해결하고 delay bound를 제공하는 time slot 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 Weighted Fairness를 적용한 분산적 스케줄링 방법에 대한 연구를 통해 HR-WPAN에서의 성능 향상을 이루고자 한다.

IEEE 802.15.3 High-Rate WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network)은 TDMA방식을 사용하며 10m내외에서 멀티미디어와 같은 실시간, 대용량 데이터의 전송을 목적으로 한 기술이다. TDMA방식을 사용하는 기술은 디바이스들이 통신을 하기 전에 미리 채널시간을 할당받아야 한다. IEEE 002.15.3 High-Rate WPAN 환경에서 TCP stream을 전송할 경우 TCP ACK을 전송하기 위해 새로운 채널시간을 할당받아야 한다 송신단은 전송할 데이터와 할당받은 채널시간이 남아있더라도 TCP ACK을 수신할 때까지 아무런 전송도 할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 High-rate WPAN환경에서 TCP stream을 효과적으로 지원하기 위해 송신단이 할당받은 채널시간동안 송신단과 수신단이 충돌없이 채널을 사용하며 네트워크의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다.

The proposed LDS(Link-status Dependent Scheduling) algorithm in HR-WPAN up to now aims at doing only throughput elevation of the whole network, when the crucial DEV(Device) is connected with worst-link relatively, throughput of this DEV becomes aggravation, The proposed the WGS(Worst-case Guaranteed Scheduling) _algorithm in this paper guarantees throughput of the DEV which is connected with worst-link in a certain degree as maintaining throughput of all DEVs identically even if a link-status changes, decreases delay of the whole network more than current LDS algorithm Therefore proposed WGS algorithm in this paper will be useful in case of guaranteeing throughput of a DEV which is connected worst-link in a certain degree in a design of HR-WPAN hereafter.

Tera 대역으로 일반적으로 여겨지는 300 ~ 3000GHz 대역을 이용하여 무선 근거리 개인 영역 통신 (WPAN) 에서 20~40Gbps 급의 데이터 통신을 하기 위한 국제 표준화가 현재 IEEE802.15표준화 그룹에서 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 표준화의 진행 상항과 더불어 테라 대역의 주파수 할당, 물리계층에서 테라 대역을 이용하여 WPAN이 가능하기 위한 요소 기술로서 빔포밍 기법에 대하여 정리한다. 주파수 할당은 비허가 주파수 대역의 가능성 여부 및 시기 등에 대하여 지난 수년간 테라 대역과 관련되어 ITU에서 발표된 문서들을 요약한다. 테라 대역에서 WPAN을 위한 물리계층의 요소 기술로서는 테라 대역의 주파수 특성인 전파의 직진성 및 거리에 따른 전력 감쇄를 극복하기 위하여 저전력 빔포밍 기술에 대하여 소개한다. 본 논문은 향후 약 5년 후에 표준화가 완성될 것으로 예상되는 시점에서 국내의 통신 관련 연구자에게 초고속 데이터 통신을 가능하기 위한 테라 대역 WPAN시스템을 준비하는데 있어서 유용한 자료로서 사용될 수 있을 것이라 여겨진다.
