A Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment (WAVE) system based on Orthogonal frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is made for vehicle to vehicle wireless communications. The physical layer standard of the WAVE system is very similar to that of the IEEE802.1la wireless local area network (WLAN). Therefore, the performance of the WAVE system is degraded by continual timing delay in the WAVE multipath fading channels after starting initial timing synchronization. In this paper, the tracking algorithm that synchronizes symbol timing is proposed to continually compensate additional timing delay. Computer simulation of the proposed algorithm is performed in the worst communication environments that apply to maximum timing delay. Computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can improve the system performance in various channel conditions.

With the advent of tiny and inexpensive computer systems like Raspberry Pi, it has become possible to construct an experimental environment of MANETs (Mobile Ad hoc Networks) at a relatively low cost. In this paper, we implement a node of MANETs with a Raspberry Pi equipped with two 802.11 wireless LAN cards and dynamic routing software running on it. In an outdoor MANETs environment with moving mobile nodes automatically rebuilding broken routes, we conducted a real-time video streaming experiment over the MANET. The video stream is transmitted from a node with a video camera installed on it to another node through the route established dynamically. Each node is equipped with a display device, with which the current status of the node can be checked out. We also implemented software that automatically collects data stored in each node and analyzes the performance of the MANETs. Through this experiment, we could evaluate the performance of realistic video streaming service in a MANETs environment.

This paper suggests an improved system-level model of RF power amplifiers(PAs) including memory effects, and validates the suggested model by analyzing the power spectral density of the output signal with a predistortion linearizer. The original three-box(Wiener-Hammerstein) model uses input and output filters to capture RF frequency response of PAs. The adjacent spectral regrowth that occurs in three-box model can be perfectly removed by Hammerstein structure predistorter. However, the predistorter based on Hammerstein structure achieves limited performance in real PA applications due to other memory effects except RF frequency response. The spectrum of the output signal can be predicted accurately using the suggested model that changes a memoryless block in a three-box model with a memory polynomial. The proposed model accurately predicts the output spectrum density of PA with Hammerstein structure predistorter with less than 2 dB errors over ${\pm}30$ MHz adjacent channel ranges for IEEE 802.11 g WLAN signal.

The IEEE WAVE standard specification does not support handover operation since it is designed to transmit mainly the ITS-related messages that are limited in length. More advanced multimedia applications such as Internet browsing and streaming of video clips produced by CCTVs, however, require handover support such that a sequence of data packets can be received seamlessly while an OBU's association with the RSUs changes. This paper presents a new handover scheme that can operate without performance degradation in the cases where there are multiple RSUs in the areas of handover by making use of the IEEE 802.11f IAPP Move-notify messages, based on the fast handover scheme with proactive caching by disassociation messages introduced previously. Experimental results from the simulation shows that the proposed handover scheme outperforms the scheme based solely on multicast.

We define the incomplete medium sharing system as a multi-channel shared medium communication system where any types of constraints are imposed to the set of channels that may be allocated to any transmitter-receiver node pair. A set of distributed MAC schemes are proposed, all of which are based on the CSMA/CA scheme employed in IEEE 802. 11 WLAN standards. Distributed MAC schemes are proposed in three different forms, which can be differentiated by the number and the location of back-off timers; that is, (1) one timer for all queues destined for different receiver nodes, (2) multiple timers at individual transmission queues, (3) multiple timers for individual channels. Through an extensive set of computer simulations, the performances of the proposed MAC schemes show that the MAC scheme with timers at individual transmission queues outperform the others in terms of throughput and delay for most cases considered. The complexity of the proposed schemes is also compared, and the first scheme obviously turned out to be the simplest, and the complexity of the second and third schemes depends on the number of receiver nodes and the number of channels, respectively.

Followed by the popularity of the Internet, a number of access technologies to the Internet have been developed. EAP is an authentication framework. It is designed to provide the authentication functionality in the access network. Because of its flexibility and extensibility EAP poses a global solution for the authentication supported by many access networks. However, EAP has critical weaknesses in the protocol which may, in turn, decrease the EAP performance. Some of the weaknesses are caused by the "lock-step" flow control which only supports a single packet in flight. Considering the weaknesses, we propose a solution for the flow control. Using simulation we prove that our solutions improve the EAP performance.

In this paper, we proposed the new class-E frequency multiplier design that include the highest efficient characteristics. The proposed frequency multiplier is designed for 5.8[GHz] output using the frequency multiplier about 2.9[GHz] input signal. And studying in this paper is for the design and the implementation of the class E frequency multiplier. For the result, the maximum highest efficient characteristics 32[%] which is with output power 24.5[dBm] and 8.5[dB], is shown with frequency multiplier for the 2.9/5.8[GHz] class E. And we applied the linear method to the implemented class E frequency multiplier. As a result, the output spectrum for the linear is upgrade to 12[dB], 12[dB], 13[dB] of the ACPR characteristics on the +11[MHz], +20[MHz], +30[MHz] offset frequency in the center frequency. The result is satisfied with the 3.83[%] of the lineared EVM for the 64-QAM modulated method with the 54[Mbps] transmission velocity. In this paper, we show that the good compensation result of the linearity and the efficiency through the digital pre-linear method of the distortion with the frequency multiplier. Therefore, we suggested the frequency multiplier method are applying to WLAN, cellular, PCS, WCDMA, and etc.

IEEE 802.11e EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access)는 4개의 AC(Access Category)를 이용하여 트래픽에 따른 우선순위를 부여하고 QoS(Quality of Service)를 제공하기 위해 표준화되었다. EDCA는 이진 백오프 알고리즘을 갖는 CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) 방법을 이용한다. EDCA에서 패킷 전송에 실패할 경우 경쟁 윈도우 값은 두 배씩 증가 되고, 성공할 경우에는 최소 경쟁 윈도우 값으로 초기화된다. 따라서 경쟁 윈도우 값이 최적의 값을 유지하지 못해 많은 패킷 충돌을 야기하여 네트워크 성능을 감소시킨다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 기존에 제안된 논문에서는 패킷 전송 성공 후 경쟁 윈도우 값을 최소 경쟁 윈도우 값이 아닌 채널 혼잡 정도에 따라 계산된 값으로 설정한다. 그러나 이 방법은 트래픽 종류와 상관없이 같은 방법으로 동작하기 때문에 트래픽 종류에 따른 차별적 QoS를 보장하지 않는다. 또한 계산된 경쟁 윈도우 값은 현재 값에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 값을 갖기 때문에 여전히 높은 충돌율을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 새로운 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 네트워크의 혼잡 정도를 잘 반영하기 위한 새로운 경쟁 윈도우 계산 알고리즘을 제시한다. 또한 제안된 알고리즘은 트래픽 종류에 따른 QoS 보장을 위해 트래픽 종류에 따른 차별화 파라미터를 이용한다.

In this paper an MMIC 2-stage power amplifier is designed and fabricated for 5GHz wireless LAN applications using $0.5{\mu}m$ gate length PHEMT transistors. The PHEMT gate width is optimized in order to meet the linearity and efficiency of the MMIC power amplifier. The $0.5{\mu}m\times600{\mu}m$ PHEMT for the drive stage and $0.5{\mu}m\times3000{\mu}m$ PHEMT for the amplification stage are the optimized sizes to achieve more than 25dBc of third order IMD at the power level of 3dB back-off from the input P1dB and more than 22dBm output power under a supply voltage of 3.3V. The two-stage MMIC power amplifier is designed to be used for the both of HIPERLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11a because of its broadband characteristics. The fabricated PHEMT MMIC power amplifier exhibits a 20.1dB linear power gain, a maximum 22dBm output power, a 24% power added efficiency under 3.3V supply voltage. The input and output on-chip matching circuits are included on a chip of $1400\times1200{\mu}m^2$.
