In this paper, we designed and implemented the Dual Band Dipole Antenna with Tapered Microstrip Balun for WLAN Access Point. Two dipole antennas with different resonant frequency and the antenna structure combined additional line were implemented for dual band performance. In order to feed the balun current, the tapered microstrip balun was used. Produced the Dual Band Antenna shows a special quality. The quality is that all VSWR is less than 1.5 in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands in 802.11 standards, and it profits not less than 1.7dBi having typical Dipole Antenna pattern the very "a form of 8"pattern and Omni-directional pattern.

IEEE 802.11 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) 프로토콜은 이진 지수 백오프 방식을 사용한다. 단말은 데이터 전송 전에 충돌을 피하기 위해 일정한 시간동안 채널 휴지(Idle)를 기다린다. 데이터 전송이 성공하면 경쟁 윈도우 값을 두 배로 증가시키고 실패하면 최소 값으로 초기화 한다. 이를 통해 DCF는 충돌을 회피하지만 단말의 수가 증가함에 따라 충돌율은 증가하고 전체 네트워크 성능은 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 예약 방식을 통한 데이터 전송 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서 채널 시간을 예약 구간과 경쟁 구간으로 나눈다. 기본적으로 경쟁 구간에서 단말들은 DCF와 마찬가지로 경쟁 방식을 통해 데이터를 전송할 때 예약 구간에 대한 채널 예약을 AP에게 요청한다. 또한 예약 구간에서 데이터를 전송한 단말은 다음 예약 구간에서의 예약을 요청한다. AP는 채널 예약을 수행한다. 채널 예약에 성공한 단말은 예약 구간에서 비경쟁 방법으로 데이터 패킷을 전송한다. 따라서 DCF의 충돌율을 낮추고 전체적인 네트워크 성능을 향상시킨다.

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have gained a lot of attention recently. Based on the characteristic of WMNs as a highly connected wireless infrastructure, many efforts from research organizations are made in order to improve the performance of the flow throughput in WMNs. Therefore, it is very critical issue to establish efficient routing paths for multiple concurrent ongoing flows. In this paper, we propose a general modeling methodology to analyze the end-to-end throughput of multiple concurrent flows by analytical calculation taking into account the carrier sensing behaviors, interference and the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function mechanism. After the comparison of the average service time for each successful transmission at each node, we analyze the bottlenecks of flows, and hence obtain the maximum end-to-end throughput of them. By using our proposed model, it is possible to predicate the throughput of several candidate routing paths for multiple concurrent ongoing data flows, so we can select the most efficient route that can achieve the highest throughput. We carry out simulations with various traffic patterns of multiple flows in WMNs to validate our modeling and our efficient route selection mechanism.

Wireless LAN (WLAN) interface is one of the major sources drastically depleting the battery power of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Most commercial mobile devices employ a power saving technique putting their WLAN interface into a sleep state when there is no network traffic, and thereby, save the battery power. However, since an access point (AP) just transmits the packet(s) received from a server to the corresponding mobile device immediately, it may cause a problem that the mobile device constantly remains in an awake state so that its battery power is rapidly drained. In this paper, we point out this problem and propose a new scheme that can save the mobile device's battery power with an adaptive packet scheduling at the AP side. From the experimental results based on a testbed, we found that the proposed scheme outperforms existing schemes over 50% in terms of power saving.

When the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN-based broadcasting services, we use broadcast packets to broadcast multimedia contents to a large number of users using limited wireless resources. However, broadcast transmission is difficult to recover the loss packets compared with unicast transmission. Therefore, analysis of packet loss characteristics is required to perform efficient packet recovery. The packet loss in wireless transmissions is often bursty with high loss data rate. Even if loss patterns have the same average packet loss, they are different in the recovery rate of random loss and burst loss depending on the nature. Therefore, the analysis and research of the nature of the loss are needed to recover loss packets considering bursty characteristics. In this paper, we experimented Wi-Fi broadcast transmission according to transmission rate and analyzed bursty characteristics of loss patterns using 4-state markov model.

Cooperative communications play a important role in increasing frame transmission rate at wireless communication networks where frequency resource is strictly limited. In this paper, we did a research on how to select the helper nodes that are very import in cooperative communications. As a prelude study in this research field, we carried out performance comparison of three helper node selection schemes using computer simulation. The system throughput was used as the performance measure and the random way point mobility model, where every communicating nodes move around within the designated communication range, was used.

In IEEE 802.11n WLANs(Wireless Local Area Networks), to support high throughput, MAC(Media Access Control) layer adopts A-MSDU(Aggregate-MAC Service Data Unit) and A-MPDU(Aggregate-MAC Protocol Data Unit). Generally, as the A-MPDU uses a selective retransmission capability, A-MPDU provides higher throughput than A-MSDU. However, although A-MPDU uses the selective re-transmission capability, if the size of MPDU within A-MPDU is smaller than the size of minimum MPDU starting spacing, A-MPDU can reduce throughput because of the overhead of retransmission owing to the addition of delimiter, that is a dummy MPDU. Therefore, to overcome the above problem, two-level Aggregation method, where the small MPDU within A-MPDU is replaced by not delimiter but A-MSDU, has been introduced. In the two-level Aggregation method, the existing re-transmission scheme retransmits only A-MPDU, but if the size of retransmission data is smaller than the size of the minimum MPDU starting spacing, the proposed retransmission scheme retransmits the aggregated retransmission data and MSDUs. Therefore, we know that the proposed retransmission scheme have better throughput that the existing retransmission scheme.

A virtual network technology can provide a network reflecting the requirements of various services. The virtual network can distribute resources of the physical network to each virtual slice. An efficient resource distribution technique is needed to reflect the requirements of various services. Existing bandwidth distribution techniques can only control downlink traffic without taking traffic conditions on the network into account. Downlink and uplink share the same resources in a wireless network. The existing bandwidth distribution techniques assumed that all stations generate saturated traffic. Therefore, the existing bandwidth distribution technique cannot make traffic isolation in a virtual wireless network. In this paper, we proposed a traffic-based bandwidth control techniques to solve these problems. We applied Software-Defined Networking(SDN) to the virtual wireless network, monitored the traffic at each station, and searched for stations that generated unsaturated traffic. We also controlled both uplink and downlink traffics dynamically based on monitoring information. Our system can be implemented with legasy 802.11 clients and SDN-enabled APs. After the actual test bed configuration, it was compared to existing techniques. As a result, the distribution performance of the proposed technique was improved by 14% in maximum.

In this paper, we propose a UWB(Ultra Wide Band) antenna with CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) structure notched the 802.11a(5.15 ~ 5.825 GHz) band by using the U shaped slot. The proposed antenna not only shows Ultra-Wideband characteristic(3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz) suitable for UWB communications but has partially notched-band characteristic to reject 5 GHz WLAN band(5.15 ~ 5.825 GHz). The antenna is designed on an FR-4 substrate of which the dielectric constant is 4.4, and its overall size is $30mm(W){\times}20mm(L){\times}1mm(t)$. Fabricated antenna satisfied $VSWR{\leq}2$ in 3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz except for the band rejection of 5.15 ~ 5.825 GHz. And measured results of gain and radiation patterns characteristics displayed determined for operating bands.

In this paper, we first review LDPC codes in general and a belief propagation algorithm that works in logarithm domain. LDPC codes, which is chosen 802.11n for wireless local access network(WLAN) standard, require a large number of computation due to large size of coded block and iteration. Therefore, we presented three kinds of low computational algorithms for LDPC codes. First, sequential decoding with partial group is proposed. It has the same H/W complexity, and fewer number of iterations are required with the same performance in comparison with conventional decoder algorithm. Secondly, we have apply early stop algorithm. This method reduces number of unnecessary iterations. Third, early detection method for reducing the computational complexity is proposed. Using a confidence criterion, some bit nodes and check node edges are detected early on during decoding. Through the simulation, we knew that the iteration number are reduced by half using subset algorithm and early stop algorithm is reduced more than one iteration and computational complexity of early detected method is about 30% offs in case of check node update, 94% offs in case of check node update compared to conventional scheme. The LDPC decoder have been implemented in Xilinx System Generator and targeted to a Xilinx Virtx5-xc5vlx155t FPGA. When three algorithms are used, amount of device is about 45% off and the decoding speed is about two times faster than convectional scheme.
