IEEf 802.11 Point Coordination Function (PCF) mode is defined to support time bounded traffic, such as VoIP in wireless LANs. The poll scheduling plays an important role in IEEE 802.11 PCF mode operation. This paper proposed a Multicast Polling Scheme to increase the performance of wireless LANs. Moreover, we proposed a polling schedule scheme for our proposed multipoll to serve real-time traffic. The results show that the proposed mechanism is more efficient than the original IEEE 802.11 PCF.

A FFT/IFFT processor is the key component for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based IEEE 802.11n wireless local area network (WLAN). There exists many radix algorithms according to the structure of butterfly as FFT sub-module, each has the pros and cons on hardware complexity. Here, mixed radix algorithms for 64 and 128 FFT/IFFT processors are proposed, which reduce hardware complexity by using mixture of radix-23 and radix-4 algorithms. The proposed algorithm finish calculation within 3.2${\mu}s$ in order to meet IEEE 802.11n standard requirements and it has less hardware complexity compared with conventional algorithms.

This paper presents analysis of the IEEE802.11 MAC protocol and implementation of the asynchronous communication portion of the IEEE802.11 MAC protocol. we have used PRISM2 chipsets from intertsil to build physical layer and PCI controller from PLX to interface LLC layer. This study is shown to be able to apply to MAC implementation in high speed LAN.

UWB radio systems have drawn attention during the last few years. These systems are the core technique for ubiquitous home and enable to co-exist with other narrow band systems over the same frequency without interfering them. But UWB signals have a very low power per pulse, so they are affected by strong narrow band interferences. Specially, IEEE 802.11a systems which operate around 5GHz overlap the band of UWB signals and they will interfere with UWB systems significantly. In this paper, we propose a novel narrow band interference suppression method based on singular value decomposition(SVD) algorithm for DS-UWB in IEEE 802.15.4a channel model. The proposed method is very effective and robust for both a single user DS-UWB system and a multiuser DS-UWB system to reduce the narrow band interference.

PCF(Point Coordination Function) of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is an access method oat generally has better performance under high offered load conditions. And it is also appropriate for sending data of time-limited applications. In this paper we consider the QoS(Quality of Service) enhancement method according to the change of nodes in the IEEE 802.11 WLAN. We assume that the un consists or QoS nodes and non-QoS nodes. The QoS nodes has a mechanism to support QoS. we can find the appropriate network parameters by many simulations. And the changes of network status are considered according to the number of nodes.

In the power saving mechanism specified in IEEE 802.11, all node use the sam ATIM window size. Since the ATIM window size critically affects throughput and energy consumption, a fixed ATIM window does not perform well in all situations. This paper proposes the efficient power management mechanism considering network characteristic in 802.11. To reflect the network characteristic, the paper uses th (m,k)-firm deadline technique. Simulation result shows that proposed mechanism outperforms the IEEE 802.11 power saving mechanism in terms of the amount of power consumed.

WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) standard is currently developing with increased wireless internet demand. Though existing IEEE 802.11e demonstrates that data rates exceed 54Mbps with assuring QoS(Quality of Service), wireless internet users can't be satisfied with real communication system. After IEEE 802.11e system, Study trends of IEEE 802.11n show two aspects, enhanced system throughput using aggregation among packets in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, and better data rates adapting MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) in PHY(Physical) layer. But, no one demonstrates IEEE 802.11n system performance results considering MAC and PHY connection. Therefore, this paper adapts MIMO in PHY layer for IEEE 802.11n system based on A-MPDU(Aggregation-MAC Protocol Data Unit) method in MAC layer considering MAC and PHY connection. SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) method with WLAN MIMO TGn Channel is used to analyze MIMO. Consequently, Simulation results show enhanced throughput and data rates compared to existing system. Also, We use Ns-2(Network Simulator-2) considering MAC and PHY connection for reality.

Wireless LAN systems have been widely implemented for supporting the wireless internet services especially in the hotspot areas such as hospitals, homes, conference rooms, and so on. Compared with wired LAN systems, wireless LAN systems have the advantages of the users' mobility support and low implementation and maintenance costs. IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN systems employ the backoff algorithm to avoid contentions among STAs when two or more STAs attempt to transmit their data frames simultaneously. The MAC efficiency can be improved if the CW values are adaptively changed according to the channel state of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. In this paper, a dynamic contention window control algorithm is proposed using the genetic algorithm to improve the MAC throughput of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.

This paper describes a transmission power control method for power saving in 802.11b wireless LANs. We have first explored how much effects reducing transmission power has on communication performance. Then we propose a power control algorithm, whose approach is similar to that of TCP congestion control, determining an appropriate transmission power level by monitoring the retransmission rate. We have implemented an utility software on a Linux-based system and made several experiments to validate the proposed method. The results show that it is possible to save energy consumption by controlling transmission power without sacrificing communication performance.

Wireless LAN is a rather mature communication technology connecting mobile terminals. IEEE 802.11 is a representative protocol among Wireless LAN technologies. The basic medium access control (MAC) mechanism of IEEE 802.11 is called distnbuted coordination function (DCF). DCF shows poor throughput and high drop rate as the number of stations and offered traffic load increase. In this paper we propose an effective mechanism using dynamic mimmum contention window(CWmin) in wireless LAN~ and show that performance improves via simulations. Proposed dynamic CWmin scheme exhibits superior performance as the number of stations and offered load grow. As, our proposed scheme is expected to be more effective in highly densed wireless LAN environment.
