Analog channel selection filter is described which is designed for a direct-conversion receiver of a IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN. The channel selection filter is an active-RC fifth-order Chebyshev filter with 10MHz cut-off frequency. Two-stage operational amplifier of the filter employs a current re-using feedforward frequency compensation scheme to minimize the power consumption. The filter has been implemented in a 0.18mm CMOS technology and the experimental results show 20mW power consumption with 1.8V supply voltage and 19dB out-of-band iIP3.

In this paper, radio propagation in a subway tunnel is investigated using fan beam antennas, circular polarization antennas and directional antennas at 2.4㎓ and 5.8㎓ band, respectively. The results of narrowband channel measurements show that received power level for NLOS(Non-Line-Of-Sight) path is decreased drastically as compared with LOS(Line-Of-Sight) path. Wideband channel measurements are obtained using a PN sliding correlation method. The parameters of the channel such as mean access delay and RMS delay spread are compared as to different types of directional beam at IEEE 802.11 WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) band including 2.4㎓ and 5.8㎓ bands, respectively.

The conventional channel selection method for a ZigBee communication network basically detects the energy values in all channels. In the ISM band, no license is required to use channels in this band, so there may exist various interference factors in this band. It is well known that WLAN is the major interference factor degrading the performance of ZigBee in the ISM band. In this paper, we propose an efficient channel selection algorithm which uses the pattern of WLAN channel uses as the a priori information. By using the proposed algorithm, we may save the time required to select channels for the ZigBee communications.

IEEE 802.11 WLANs support various data rates in order to adapt to wireless channel condition. It is known that when some WLAN stations use a lower data rate than the others, total throughput is considerably degraded. The concept of temporal fairness which provides equal time to all stations has been introduced to alleviate this performance anomaly problem. However, most previous mechanisms assume that stations have infinite backlogs in the MAC layer and do not consider transport layer. In this paper, we first examine and analyze the performance of previous methods considering transport layer protocols. We then propose two new temporal fairness guarantee methods: AP priority and dynamic CWmin adjustment. We carried out extensive performance study via ns-2 computer simulations. The results show that the proposed methods provide temporal fairness and improve the throughput of WLANs in various environments.

Wide spread deployment of infrastructure WLANs has made Wi Fi an integral part of today's Internet access technology. Despite its crucial role in affecting end to end performance, past research has focused on MAC protocol enhancement, analysis and simulation based performance evaluation without sufficient consideration for modeling inaccuracies stemming from inter layer dependencies, including physical layer diversity, that significantly impact performance. We take a fresh look at IEEE 802.11 WLANs, and using experiment, simulation, and analysis demonstrate its surprisingly agile performance traits. Contention based MAC throughput degrades gracefully under congested conditions, enabled by physical layer channel diversity that reduces the effective level of MAC contention. In contrast, fairness and jitter significantly degrade at a critical offered load. This duality obviates the need for link layer flow control for throughput improvement but necessitates traffic control for fairness and QoS. We use experimentation and simulation in a complementary fashion, pointing out performance characteristics where they agree and differ.

무선 랜 표준인 IEEE 802.11은 원래 best effort service를 위해 탄생된 기술이기 때문에 QoS(Quality of Service)에 대한 연구가 부족했다. 무선 랜에서는 기존 유선 랜보다 한정된 자원과 희박한 bandwidth, 다양한 노드들의 채널 공유로 인해 QoS를 보장하기가 어렵다. 이를 보완하기 위한 연구가 IEEE 802.11e 워킹그룹에서 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 충돌방지를 위한 CSMA/CA 알고리즘의 back-off값 설정을 매개변수를 두어 idle 시간을 조정함으로써 QoS를 보장하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 특히, QoS가 요구하는 패킷전달 간격 임계값(threshold)에 따른 매개변수를 조절하여 contention window 크기를 달리 조정함으로써 QoS를 요구하는 노드들의 수에 상관없이 균일한 서비스 성능을 유지하도록 한다. 이 때, 매개변수 값의 선택은 QoS를 제공하는 노드들의 서비스 성능 뿐 아니라 best effort service만을 제공해도 되는 일반 노드들의 서비스 성능도 함께 고려할 수 있도록 하였다.

본 연구에서는 무선 이기종망 환경에서 운용되는 듀얼모드 단말이 현재의 연결을 무선랜으로 변경하는 경우에 필요한 선인증 과정의 최적화 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 인증 기법은 빠른 채널 변경 기술을 MAC(Media Access Control) 기능에 적용하여 현재 활성화 된 패킷 데이터 통신에 손실을 최소화 하고 핸드오프 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 인증 과정에 필요한 지연시간을 단축한다. 또한 시뮬레이션 실험을 통하여, 기존에 제안된 전통적인 인증 방법을 사용하는 일반적인 방식 보다 빠른 핸드오프를 수행하여 끊김없는 연결성을 보장함을 보인다.

The DCF of IEEE 802.11 standard coordinates transmissions onto the shared communication channel based on CSMA/CA protocol. Currently, 802,11 is the most widely deployed wireless LAN standard. In this paper, for 802.11-based wireless LAN we propose a service differentiation scheme adopting different contention window sizes and retransmission schemes for two different types of data packets and we present a Markov model for the state of a given station under a finite load traffic condition. We then derive an algorithm to find the transmission probability and the throughput. The proposed model is validated through simulation under various system settings.

We provide an aggressive spatial reuse scheme exploiting the space sensed busy when neighboring 802.11 stations radiate radio wave in omni-directions. For this purpose, we develop four strategies, i.e., disruptive RTS, busy random backoff, zero padding, and unavailable pair management. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the aggregate network throughput from 14% to 50% while the station adopting the proposed scheme coexists with the legacy stations.
