We develop a new wireless link quality metric, ECOT(Estimated Channel Occupancy Time) that enables a high throughput route setup in wireless mesh networks. The key feature of ECOT is to be applicable to diverse mesh network environments where IEEE 802.11 MAC (Medium Access Control) variants are used. We take into account the exact operational features of 802.11 MAC protocols, such as 802.11 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function), 802.11e EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) with BACK (Block Acknowledgement), and 802.11n A-MPDU(Aggregate MAC Protocol Data Unit), and derive the integrated link metric based on which a high throughput end-to-end path is established. Through extensive simulation in random-topology settings, we evaluate the performance of proposed link metric and present that ECOT shows 8.5 to 354.4% throughput gain over existing link metrics.

Signals transmitted from access point (AP) or stations in different wireless LANs (WLAN) interfere each other when the WLANs are closely installed. When they are configured to use the same channel, signals from an WLAN get collided with signals from other WLANs so that the delay increases to user stations and the throughput decreases. In this paper, we propose a method in which an AP in a basic service set (BSS) detects other BSSs using the same channel and switches to a different channel not being occupied by any other BSS. We can avoid using the same channel with other BSS in spacially overlapped BSS environment. The proposed scheme is simulated and its characteristics are described with the analysis of the result. The results measured in terms of throughput show that the problems in overlapped wireless LANs can be resolved with the proposed method.

In spite of the large interest in the 802.15.4 standard, no realistic experimental research of its behaviour exists to date except a few works by simulations and analytical modeling. In this paper, we have established realistic environment of IEEE 802.15.4 network and analyze its behaviour under various conditions as like 1) maximum throughput of 802.15.4 MAC, 2) MAC fairness. and 3) throughput and m rate under co-existence of 802.11 Wi-Fi wireless networks.

CMOS LC VCO with fast response adaptive frequency calibration (AFC) technique for IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLANs is designed in 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The possible operation is verified for 5.8GHz band, 5.2GHz band, and 2.4GHz band using the switchable L-C resonators. To linearize its frequency-voltage gain (Kvco), optimized multiple MOS varactor biasing tecknique is used. In order to operate in each band frequency range with reduced VCO gain, 4-bit digitally controlled switched- capacitor bank is used and a wide-range digital logic quadricorrelator (WDLQ) is implemented for fast frequency detector.

In this paper, we consider an OFDM receiver algorithm design for IEEE 802.11a/p system, which targeting large coverage area while keeping the transmission format unchanged. Particularly, taking into account the inter-symbol interference(ISI) and inter-carrier interference(ICI) that can be induced with large RMS delay spread, we employ channel shortening time-domain equalizer(TEQ) and evaluate the receiver performance in terms of SINR and packet error rate(PER). The preamble defined in IEEE802.11a/p is used to estimated the initial equalizer tap coefficients. Primary purpose of the paper is to give an answer to the question, though partially, whether or not 16-QAM constellation can be used in none line of sight environment at the boundary of a large coverage area. To this end, we first analyze the required TEQ parameters for the target channel environment and then perform simulation for PER performance evaluation in a generic frequency selective fading channel with exponential power-delay profile.

fireless LAN can offer high data rate communication between wireless terminals. In IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, a basic service unit is called a Basic Service Set (BSS), which consists of one AP and more than one wireless terminals. Terminals far from the AP may not communicate with high data rate because signal strength is weakened as they move away from the AP. In this paper we propose a method to permit high speed data transmission by grouping terminals and by using part of wireless terminals as repeaters. We analyze the proposed and algorithm via simulations. Our proposed grouping mechanism is shown to be an effective way to increase the distance for high rate transmission.

This paper describes a design of AES-based CCMP(Counter mode with CBC-MAC Protocol) core for IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN security. To maximize the performance of CCMP core, two AES cores are used, one is the counter mode for data confidentiality and the other is the CBC node for authentication and data integrity. The S-box that requires the largest hardware in ARS core is implemented using composite field arithmetic, and the gate count is reduced by about 27% compared with conventional LUT(Lookup Table)-based design. The CCMP core was verified using Excalibur SoC kit, and a MPW chip is fabricated using a 0.35-um CMOS standard cell technology. The test results show that all the function of the fabricated chip works correctly. The CCMP processor has 17,000 gates, and the estimated throughput is about 353-Mbps at 116-MHz@3.3V, satisfying 54-Mbps data rate of the IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g specifications.

Wireless LAN was developed by alternative of LAN and because establishment was easy, have used into special field and special expenditure. Recently, Standard and a technology developed by leaps and bounds. Present is used into purpose of the Building to Building or wide connection etc. and relay of the high speed Internet and usage of picture communication that require multimedia band width. Specially, campus wireless LAM is thought that must secure radius $100\;\~\;200\;m$ dimension at the minimum 10Mbps speed as Internet transit trunk. But, there is difference as degressive here. In this paper, wireless LAN measured for effectiveness proof as Internet transit trunk in actuality utilization environment. Proved that should compose IEEE802.11b as AP more than minimum 3 when compose network to base as measuring result. Hereafter, there is the purpose that achieve performance evaluation of wireless UM in marine environment.
