무선랜 환경에서 무선랜 단말이 AP(Access Point)사이를 로밍(Roaming)할 때 무선랜단말의 안전한 핸드오프를 위한 프로토콜로서 IAPP(InterAccess Point Protocol)가 있고 관련된 IEEE표준으로 802.11f가 있다. 무선랜단말의 안전한 핸드오프를 위해서는 IAPP를 통하여 기존에 접속되었던 AP에서 새로운 AP에게 무선랜단말의 인증 또는 과금관련 정보를 안전하게 전달하는 것이 필요하다. IEEE 802.11f에서는 무선랜단말의 핸드오프를 지원하는 액세스포인트를 인증하고 AP사이의 안전한 통신을 위한 정보를 제공하는 IAPP서버로 라디우스(RADIUS) 서버를 권고한다. 본 논문에서는 라디우스 서버의 한계를 극복하고 보다 확장성과 신뢰성이 뛰어난 서버를 위해 Diameter를 사용한 IAPP 서버의 구조와 동작에 대해서 설 명 한다.

WLAN virtualization can make multiple simultaneous experiments, each of which is conducted by a separate researcher, share scarce wireless resources in an IEEE 802.11 WLAN. The experiment performed in a virtualized WLAN should be consistent with that in a non-virtualized WLAN. The more similar these two experimental results, the better the consistency. To this end, we propose a novel virtualization scheme that has good consistency by preventing multiple simultaneous experiments from interacting with one another, without any modifications to the IEEE 802.11 standard. Through an intensive simulation study, we confirm that the consistency depends not only on the number of simultaneous experiments but also on wireless channel characteristics such as Doppler frequency and Ricean factor. According to such dependencies, the proposed scheme is optimized, so that it supports good consistency.

2007년 3월부터 WFA에서 시작된 "Wi-Fi $CERTIFIED^{TM}$ 802.11n draft 2.0" 인증을 통해 현재까지 180가지가 넘는 제품이 출시되고 있는 가운데 이러한 시장의 상황을 반영하듯 여러 매체를 통해 IEEE 802.11n이 핫이슈로 등장하였다. 예를 들어 $1820{\times}1080$ pixels, 24 bits/pixel, 초당 60 프레임 정도의 1080p급 비디오를 전송하려면 Gbps 이상의 전송속도를 필요로 한다. 이를 위하여 최근에 Gbps 이상의 차세대 무선랜 서비스를 위한 새로운 국제규격을 정의하려는 움직임이 IEEE 802.11 내에서 활발해지고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 IEEE 802.11에서의 표준화 활동을 중심으로 차세대무선랜에 대한 응용분야, 관련기술, 표준화 작업 내용에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

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.

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.

A Markov model for the IEEE 802.11 standard which is the most widely deployed wireless LAN protocol, is designed and the channel throughput is evaluated. The DCF of 802.11, which is based on CSMA/CA protocol, coordinates transmissions onto the shared communication channel. In this paper, under a finite load traffic condition and the assumption of packet loss after the final backoff stage. We present an algorithm to find the transmission probability and derive the formula for the channel throughput. The proposed model is validated through simulation and is compared with the case without packet losses.

This paper derives medium access delay of each AC(Access Category) in a stationary station using inter-departure time of IEEE 802.11e WLAN(Wireless LAN). Inter-departure time of IEEE 802.11e WLAN is obtained using saturation throughput of IEEE 802.11e WLAN which was the topic of our prior work. By using a simple queueing model, we evaluate mean queue length and mean delay for each AC on stationary condition. We calculate performance of each AC using this simple model and validate results using simulation.

This paper provides the performance measurement and analysis of Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 in a mobile environment. The performance of IEEE802.11b/g and IEEE802.11p that is designed for Vehicle-to-Vehicle(V2V) communication is measured and analyzed. Diameter of communication, link access time and delay are measured as vehicle's speed varies. Also, the performance is checked in a situation that the load to network varies. In conclusion, the futher research topics are discussed.

As the need for stable and high speed wireless Internet service Brows, the wireless LAN service provider hurries to preempt wireless LAN service market. IAPP(InterAccess Point protocol) is defined to be able to provide a secure handoff mechanism of wireless LAN terminal information between AP(Access Point)s, and the related IEEE standard is IEEE 802.11f. For the secure handoff of wireless LAN terminal, it is necessary to transfer terminal's authentication & accounting information securely from old AP to new AP IEEE 802.11f recommends RADIUS server as IAPP server which authenticates AP and provides information for secure channel between APs. This paper proposes IAPP server using Diameter protocol to overcome the limit of RADIUS sewer, and describes about the interaction between server components and integration method with the current IAPP client system.

IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN has become the center of attention for one of the most dominant wireless networking technologies nowadays. In densely deployed wireless LANs, mobile stations are exposed to a number of AP, thus it is needed to select the best AP to associate with. The most common approach is to select the AP with the highest received signal strength. However it does not consider traffic load imposed to each AP so that it may cause the poor network performance. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a throughput estimation scheme for neighboring APs by sniffing the traffic within 802.11 networks. We devise a tool, named "VirtFrame", which is to estimate the station's capable throughput from neighbor APs based on the channel access time by virtually combining the sniffed frames. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme well matches that there exists correlation between the channel access time and the actual throughput of the APs.
